Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), the City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Tides baseball team are teaming up this season to provide FREE rides on The Tide light rail for every home game.
With the Triple-A national champion Norfolk Tides beginning their 2024 season on March 29, fans will enjoy free travel to and from Harbor Park during 75 regular-season home games. Complimentary rides – courtesy of the City of Norfolk and the Tides – are available two hours prior to and after each game.
Fans can ride The Tide (Virginia's first light rail system) to games, as the Harbor Park Station is located just a few steps from the ballpark. The Tide extends 7.4 miles from the Eastern Virginia Medical Center complex to Newtown Road. Eleven stations provide access to dining, shopping and entertainment as well as the campuses for Norfolk State University and Tidewater Community College (Norfolk). There are five park-and-ride lots where parking is always free.

We encourage fans to utilize The Tide Park and Ride lots at Ballentine Boulevard, Military Highway and Newtown Road. We also suggest fans utilize the parking garages at MacArthur Center and ride the light rail from the MacArthur Square Station to the Harbor Park Station.
Ride the Tide from Park and Ride Lots All Season Long
With limited on-site parking at Harbor Park throughout the season, fans are encouraged to try transit for stress-free travel to and from the ballpark – from opening day to the season’s last play.
The Tide makes frequent stops at Harbor Park Station, just yards from the stadium entrance. Save time, gas and parking fees while avoiding congestion coming to and leaving the ballpark.
Fans can park for free at four park-and-ride lots adjacent to Tide stations and hop on for the short ride to the stadium:
- Newtown Road Station, Newtown Road and Kempsville Road.
- Military Highway Station, Curlew Drive and Corporate Boulevard.
- Ballentine/Broad Creek Station, Ballentine Boulevard and I-264.
- EVMC/Fort Norfolk Station, Brambleton and Colley Avenues. This location is available only for Saturday and Sunday games – parking is not allowed on weeknights.
HRT buses also conveniently connect to Tide light rail stations.
Fans can also park in Downtown Norfolk to catch The Tide from MacArthur Square Station, Monticello Station or Civic Plaza Station. Parking fees may apply. Information on Downtown Norfolk parking can be found here.
