loanDepot park Parking and Transportation
On-Site Parking
loanDepot park is home to four (4) parking garages located on the North and South sides of the ballpark and six (6) surface lots located on the East and West sides of the ballpark, each operated in a free flow parking model. Event attendees parking at the ballpark will use their vehicle’s license plate as their credential for parking. Vehicles will not be validated at the entrance to parking facilities through payment collection or parking pass scan. Instead, all cars will enter a parking garage or surface lot, subject to availability, and proceed to an available parking spot. Event attendees will then pay and register their vehicle’s license plate via the PayByPhone App using the garage-specific identification code found on surrounding signage. During the game, vehicles will be validated based on the registration status of their license plate.
Parking rates are dynamically priced and can be reviewed for the 2024 season in the Prepaid Parking section of this page. A prepaid parking pass is the only method to guarantee on-site parking for Marlins home games at loanDepot park (see below for more information).
Although not guaranteed, attendees wishing to park in a certain garage are encouraged to arrive early – parking spaces are not preassigned. Miami Police Department will direct cars to the garage that best supports traffic conditions during peak ingress times.
For marquee games, on-site parking is limited and spaces will be occupied on a first come-first serve basis. If you elect to drive to the ballpark, plan to arrive early. Heavy congestion around the ballpark should be expected and factored into commute times.
Additional Parking Information
- All parking areas offer a full complement of ADA accessible spaces.
- Marlins Members reserved parking is available in the Home Plate Garage (1502 NW 7th Street) and Third Base Garage (1402 NW 7th Street) on a first-come first-serve basis.
Prepaid Parking
The Marlins are excited to provide fans with an easy way to pre-book a parking spot before driving to the game through their preferred partner, ParkWhiz. A prepaid parking pass is the only method to guarantee on-site parking for Marlins home games at loanDepot park.
Use the widget HERE to review parking rates and reserve on-site general parking or bus parking prior to your visit.

Valet Parking
Valet parking is only available at the Home Plate Garage located on the north side of the ballpark. Valet will open 2.5 hours prior to First Pitch each game.

Once at the garage entrance, showcase and scan your blue Valet Parking Pass in the MLB Ballpark app. Parking staff will digitally log your information and you will receive a text link that you can utilize to request and retrieve your vehicle upon departure from the game. The Marlins ask that you only request your vehicle upon exiting the ballpark.
Valet Parking varies in price from $30 to $45 and must be purchased in advance HERE.
