About Charlotte Sports Park Parking Lots
Charlotte Sports Park sits within an 82-acre park complex in Port Charlotte, Florida. Since 2009, it has hosted the Tampa Bay Rays for spring training, following its renovation from its former name, Charlotte County Stadium. The venue is known for a 360-degree fan concourse, two outfield berms, a boardwalk, and family-friendly amenities that make it a reliable destination for baseball fans year after year.
Whether you’re planning a Rays spring training trip or a community event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options. Secure your seats and plan ahead with this insider guide to Charlotte Sports Park.
Event schedules at Charlotte Sports Park can vary by configuration, but the primary draw is Rays spring training, alongside past uses by the Charlotte Stone Crabs and other events such as USSSA tournaments. Parking is typically available through prepaid or day-of options at the best available price per vehicle, with mobile payments via the MLB Ballpark app. The main lot opens roughly 2.5 hours before first pitch, with overflow parking available at the adjacent Charlotte County Fairgrounds. For most visitors driving to the stadium, the site is reachable via major roads into Port Charlotte, with Punta Gorda (PGD) and Fort Myers (RSW) as the closest airports for longer trips.
