PK Park

PK Park sits on the University of Oregon campus on the north bank of the Willamette River, immediately adjacent to Autzen Stadium (the Oregon Ducks football home) and the broader UO athletics complex. The University of Oregon's main academic campus sits across the river to the south, accessible via footbridges. Downtown Eugene with the 5th Street Public Market (the converted historic-mill complex of shops and restaurants — central to Eugene's culinary identity), the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, Skinner Butte Park, and the Saturday Market sits a short drive west. The University of Oregon campus itself with the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the campus arboretum is the broader regional cultural anchor. The Willamette Valley wine country with its famous Pinot Noir producers sits a short drive north; the Oregon Coast sits about an hour-and-a-half west; Crater Lake National Park sits about a three-hour drive south. The McKenzie River and the Cascade Range with Mount Bachelor sit a short drive east. The neighborhood reads as a college-campus ballpark with downtown Eugene's culinary scene, the Willamette Valley wine country, and the broader Oregon outdoors as the regional draws.

Plan to arrive 45-60 minutes before first pitch — Autzen-area parking flow is straightforward outside Ducks football season and the closest lots fill steadily on weekend home dates. PK Park opened in 2010 as the on-campus University of Oregon baseball home and as the home of the Eugene Emeralds. The Emeralds have been the San Francisco Giants affiliate continuously since 2015, having previously cycled through affiliations with the Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres, and others across the franchise's long history. The Emeralds franchise itself dates to 1955 — one of the longest-running Northwest League franchises. The 2021 MLB-MiLB reorganization shifted the Northwest League from short-season Single-A to full-season High-A status. The ballpark is shared with University of Oregon Ducks baseball; visiting fans should be aware that Emeralds and Ducks schedules dovetail across the spring season. A long list of San Francisco Giants major-leaguers in the current era passed through Eugene including a generation of Giants prospects. The Emeralds have publicly discussed building a new dedicated Eugene-area ballpark; the timeline is evolving. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Emeralds' site before going.

PK Park opened in 2010 on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene as the on-campus baseball home of the UO Ducks and the Eugene Emeralds. The Emeralds franchise dates to 1955 and is one of the longest-running Northwest League franchises. The Emeralds have been the San Francisco Giants affiliate continuously since 2015. The 2021 MLB-MiLB reorganization shifted the Northwest League from short-season Single-A to full-season High-A status. Capacity sits around 4,000. The ballpark is shared with University of Oregon Ducks baseball — Emeralds and Ducks schedules dovetail across the spring season. PK Park is named for Pat Kilkenny, the UO athletics-director benefactor whose donation funded the ballpark. The Emeralds' alternate identity as Los Monarcas — honoring the Latino community and the monarch butterfly migration through Oregon — has been one of the most-celebrated Copa de la Diversion alternate identities in MiLB. The Emeralds have publicly discussed building a new dedicated Eugene-area ballpark; the timeline is evolving and the franchise's long-term home is uncertain.
