About this Location

Facility Overview

Segra Park Parking, managed in partnership with Southern Valet, serves as the premier official event and visitor parking destination for Segra Park and the thriving BullStreet District in Columbia, South Carolina. Located directly at 1640 Freed Street, this open-air surface parking facility offers quick, ground-level vehicle access right adjacent to the ballpark gates. Because it is an unobstructed open-air lot, there are no restrictive low-clearance ceiling barriers, making it exceptionally accommodating for a broad spectrum of personal and commercial vehicles, including standard passenger sedans, compact hatchbacks, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and passenger vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

For high-attendance Fireflies baseball games, fireworks nights, and special holiday festivals, nearby streets experience heavy traffic; plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to first pitch to secure prime spots and avoid queues. Purchasing your parking pass online in advance through official ticketing platforms ensures a faster check-in process at the gate. Note that parking operations during game days are typically cashless, so carry a credit card or mobile payment option. When navigating via GPS, entering 1640 Freed Street directly will route you straight to the primary gate entrances.
