How many restrooms are at Fenway Park?

Where are the accessible restrooms at Fenway Park?
ADA-accessible restrooms are available on every concourse level. Wheelchair-accessible entrances are at all five gates (A through E). The ballpark has accessible seating and companion seats throughout. Ask Guest Services at any gate for the nearest accessible restroom.
Where is the nearest restroom to Gate A at Fenway Park?
Behind Section 9 on the main concourse — about 1 minute walk from Gate A. This restroom is ADA-accessible and has baby changing facilities nearby.
Is there a baby changing room at Fenway Park?
Yes. Family restrooms with baby changing stations are located on the main concourse. A dedicated nursing mothers' room is available behind Section 20. Ask any Guest Services representative for directions.
Which Fenway Park restrooms have the shortest lines during the 7th-inning stretch?
Upper concourse restrooms behind Sections 27–30 and the right field corner restrooms consistently have the shortest lines during peak periods. The main concourse near Gate D gets the longest queues. Premium level restrooms (EMC Club, Dell Technologies Club) are the quietest but require a premium ticket.
Can I bring food and drinks into Fenway Park?
Yes. You can bring food into Fenway Park in a clear bag or single-compartment bag no larger than 16x16x8 inches. Sealed water bottles (20 oz or less) are permitted. No cans, glass bottles, or alcohol. Grab tacos from El Pelon or a burrito from Loco Taqueria on your way in to save money.
Where should I park for Fenway Park?
Fenway Park has very limited on-site parking. The best options are Landmark Center Garage (0.3 mi, 5 min walk), Fenway Triangle lots (0.2 mi, arrive 90 min early), or Prudential Center Garage (0.7 mi, 15 min walk). The MBTA Green Line to Kenmore Station is strongly recommended over driving — it's faster, cheaper, and stress-free.
What hotels are closest to Fenway Park?
Hotel Commonwealth (0.2 mi, 4 min walk, 4.6★, from $299/night) is the closest hotel, directly at Kenmore Square. The Verb Hotel (0.2 mi) and Hotel Buckminster (0.3 mi) are also very close. Book well ahead for Red Sox playoff games and Opening Day — Fenway-area hotels sell out months in advance.
Where should I eat before a game at Fenway Park?
Closest pre-game options: Cask 'n Flagon (0.1 mi, legendary sports bar), Bleacher Bar (0.1 mi, built into center field wall), Loco Taqueria (0.1 mi, tacos and oysters). For sit-down dining, try Sweet Cheeks Q (0.3 mi, BBQ) or the restaurants on Peterborough Street (0.4 mi, Thai, Mexican, Indian). All have customer restrooms. You can also BYO food into the park.
What is the capacity of Fenway Park?
Fenway Park seats 37,755 people, making it the smallest ballpark in Major League Baseball. Opened in 1912, it is the oldest active MLB stadium. The intimate size is part of its charm — there's no bad seat in the house.
Can I do a tour of Fenway Park?
Yes. Fenway Park tours run daily year-round (no tours during games). Adults $25, children/seniors discounted. Walk the Warning Track, sit atop the Green Monster, and see the manual scoreboard still updated by hand. Tours last about 60 minutes. Restrooms are available at the tour meeting point.
What is the Green Monster?
The Green Monster is the 37-foot-2-inch (11.3 m) high left field wall at Fenway Park. It's one of the most iconic features in all of sports. The wall features a hand-operated scoreboard that is still updated manually during every game. Green Monster seats atop the wall are among the most coveted tickets in baseball.
Are there free water refill stations at Fenway Park?
Fenway Park has water fountains on the main concourse near most restroom locations (Sections 9, 17, 26, and 34). You can also ask for a free cup of water at any concession stand — they are required to provide it. Sealed water bottles up to 20 oz are allowed through security.
Where is first aid at Fenway Park?
First aid stations are located behind Section 17 (main concourse, first base side) and on the Gate D concourse (right field area). Both are staffed with EMTs and nurses during all events and have AED equipment. For emergencies, alert any usher or Guest Services staff.
When are the busiest restroom times at Fenway Park?
The 7th-inning stretch is by far the busiest period, with main concourse waits exceeding 15 minutes. Between innings 3-5 is the second busiest. Best times to go: innings 1-2, during at-bats, or after the 8th inning. Upper concourse restrooms are always 40-60% shorter lines than the main level.
