There are handicapped parking areas surrounding Citizens Bank Park (must have placard or proper plates). It is recommended that guests arrive early and park in the first lot available to them.
Access Guide for Guests with Disabilities
Welcome to Citizens Bank Park, the spectacular home of the Phillies. With the help of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) consultant, Citizens Bank Park was designed to be universally accessible and comfortable for our guests with disabilities.
This Citizens Bank Park Access Guide was developed with one goal in mind: to assist our guests with disabilities in becoming familiar with a facility that is "not your typical ballpark." A variety of accommodations are offered to make your experience an enjoyable one.
The Phillies take pride in serving all our guests and hope the Citizens Bank Park experience will bring you back many times in the future.

Sensory Activation Vehicle (S.A.V.), First Base Plaza
The Phillies and KultureCity, the nation’s leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility and acceptance for those with invisible disabilities, have brought a new dedicated room and play space for individuals with sensory processing sensitivities who may need a quieter and more secure environment while attending games at the ballpark.
Inside the S.A.V. is a sensory room outfitted with bean bags from Yogibo and visual light panels by Nanoleaf, as well as activity panels and bubble walls. The space can be used by one family/group/individual at a time when they need to step away to decompress, enabling families to take a quick break if needed before going back to enjoying the ballgame.
The experience is part of KultureCity’s sensory-inclusive program, designed to “Make the Nevers Possible” and help guests with sensory needs like PTSD, autism, dementia and strokes, just to name a few, feel welcomed.
Sensory Bags, Weighted Laptops and Social Stories, Guest Services - Main Concourse and Terrace Level
Thanks to KultureCity, fans will have access to sensory bags at Guest Services. Designed to help sensory needs in both adults and children, the sensory bags are filled with items that can help lessen sensory overload and include headphones and various fidget toys, along with visual feeling and "I need" cue cards.
Each sensory bag also includes a lanyard with a QR code, providing easy access to the KultureCity website, which will have downloadable and customized social stories for visiting Citizens Bank Park.
Fans will also have access to a weighted laptop, which can be drawn on with a water pen.
KultureCity decals and other signage will also be located throughout the ballpark on ticket windows and in elevator lobbies, helping with awareness about the KultureCity initiative.
Service Animals
Guide dogs, service animals, or service animals in training are welcome. All other animals are prohibited.
Telephone/TTY
All pay phones are fully accessible. We also offer a pay phone TTY line for the hearing impaired. This phone is located inside the Left Field Gate.
