Getting There

Boston Logan International Airport

3

miles

15

minutes

Logan is just 3 miles from Fenway as the crow flies, but driving that route through the Sumner Tunnel and into Kenmore Square on a game day is a miserable experience. Skip the cab or rideshare from the terminal and take the Silver Line to South Station, then the Green Line B, C, or D branch to Kenmore — about 35–45 minutes total and far less stressful.

Driving & parking

Driving Tips
If you must drive, park in the Prudential Center or Copley Place garages in Back Bay and walk 15–20 minutes through the Fens — it's a pleasant walk and far easier to exit than anything closer to the ballpark.
Parking Cost Estimate:
$40–$60 (private lots and garages near Fenway)

Fenway has essentially no on-site parking. The surrounding Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood has a handful of private lots and garages, but they're expensive ($40–$60 on game days), fill fast, and are a headache to exit after the final out. Driving to Fenway is genuinely discouraged — the Green Line is fast, cheap, and drops you at the front door.

Tailgating
$40–$60 (private lots and garages near Fenway)

Traditional tailgating isn't part of the Fenway experience — there's no space for it. The pre-game ritual here is hitting the bars and restaurants along Lansdowne St, Boylston St, and Brookline Ave. Game On!, Bleacher Bar (with its famous view into center field), and Cask 'n Flagon are the classics. Plan to arrive early and grab a spot.

Parking Info

public transit

Closest Transit Stop/Station:
Kenmore (Green Line)
Transit Lines Served:
MBTA Green Line (B, C, D branches)

The Kenmore Green Line stop is a 5-minute walk from the Fenway gates — it's one of the best transit connections in MLB. The B, C, and D branches all stop at Kenmore, so trains are frequent before games. Post-game the platform gets packed fast; the MBTA runs extra service but expect a wait. Pro tip: walk one stop to Hynes Convention Center on the B/C branch for a shorter queue.

walk & bike

Best Neighborhood to Walk From:
Fenway / Kenmore / Back Bay
Walkability Score:
Very walkable

If you're staying anywhere in the Fenway, Kenmore, or Back Bay neighborhoods, Fenway Park is easily walkable. The stretch along Yawkey Way (now Jersey St) and Lansdowne St is lined with bars and restaurants that make the walk part of the experience. It's one of baseball's great urban ballpark neighborhoods.

Bike Parking:

Blue Bikes (Boston's bike share) has docking stations near Fenway on Brookline Ave and Jersey St. Riding in from the Back Bay, Fenway neighborhood, or along the Emerald Necklace paths is very doable. Dedicated bike parking is also available near the ballpark gates.

rideshare

Rideshare drop-off is on Van Ness St or Brookline Ave. Post-game surge pricing around Fenway is significant — consider walking 10 minutes toward the Prudential Center or Copley area before requesting your ride, or just take the Green Line back.

accessibility

Accessible parking is available in designated spaces at the Yawkey Way Garage and select nearby lots — contact the Red Sox ahead of time to reserve. The accessible drop-off zone is on Van Ness St near Gate B. For accessibility services and accommodations, contact the Red Sox at (877) 733-7699 or visit redsox.com/accessibility.

At the Game

Fenway Park is the oldest active stadium in Major League Baseball, having opened in 1912, and it remains one of the most distinctive venues in American sports. The Green Monster — the 37-foot left field wall — is the most famous feature, but Fenway's character runs deeper than any single landmark. Cramped concourses, odd angles, obstructed-view seats, and decades of history make it feel like nowhere else in baseball. It holds just under 38,000, making it one of the smaller MLB venues.

The Fenway neighborhood in Boston is one of the best walking areas for any ballpark. Lansdowne Street runs behind the left field wall and is lined with bars that fill up hours before first pitch. Yawkey Way — now Jersey Street — along the front of the park has additional food and atmosphere. The Kenmore and Fenway MBTA Green Line stops are both close by, and public transit is genuinely the best way to get here — parking is scarce and expensive.
