NW Peacock Boulevard is the only way in. There's no second entrance to fall back on when a Grapefruit League crowd rolls into Clover Park on a February Saturday, no side street that skips the line of cars waiting to turn off St. Lucie West Boulevard. Show up as a group of eight or ten spread across three cars, and you've just multiplied that bottleneck by three — plus the walk from wherever the last car finds a spot.
A bus rented for the trip changes the math. Everyone climbs on at one pickup point in Port St. Lucie, the bus works its way up Peacock Boulevard as a single vehicle instead of a caravan, and your group gets dropped together at the same entrance instead of trickling in from three different rows of the lot. Below is exactly how that works at Clover Park — the address, what parking actually costs, which gate the gameday crowd uses, and what a bus rental in Port St Lucie runs for a trip like this.
Why Rent a Bus to Clover Park?
Clover Park holds about 7,160 people — small by spring training standards, which is exactly why its lots fill fast and its one access road backs up quickly once a Mets game is close to first pitch. A stadium this size doesn't have five different approach roads to spread the crowd across; it has Peacock Boulevard, and everyone driving in is funneled onto the same stretch at the same time.
That's the case for a bus rather than a line of separate cars. One vehicle means one entrance, one parking cost instead of several, and no one in your group circling the lot solo looking for the last open row. A Port St Lucie charter bus rental also means nobody has to skip the game to get everyone home afterward — the bus waits, and it's still there when the last out is recorded.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Clover Park
Clover Park sits at 31 Piazza Drive, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986, according to the St. Lucie Mets contact page. The ballpark's published guide doesn't list a separate motorcoach gate the way some big-league stadiums do — Clover Park is a city-owned, single-complex facility, and every vehicle, bus included, works off the same surface lots around the stadium. That means the honest answer for a large vehicle is that the exact spot to pull in and unload gets confirmed for your date rather than guessed at, since lot assignments can shift depending on how big the crowd is that day.
Gates open 40 minutes before first pitch for every game, per the team's own A-Z ballpark guide. St. Lucie Mets games start at 6:10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 12:10 p.m. on Sunday.
That 40-minute window is tight once you add parking and a walk in from a back row — a bus pulling your group in as one unit gets everybody through the gate together instead of spread across a slow-moving line.
Where the Bus Waits During the Game
Because Clover Park works off one lot system rather than a dedicated coach yard, a bus reserved for your trip stages in the lot for the length of the game rather than circling back out and returning later. That's part of what you're paying for with a Port St Lucie party bus rental for a ballgame — the vehicle sits and waits instead of you arranging a second pickup trip after the last out.
Clover Park Parking Cost — and the One Road Everyone Uses
Parking at Clover Park runs $5 plus tax per vehicle for St. Lucie Mets games, according to the team's own A-Z guide. That's a manageable number for a single car, but it adds up fast for a group splitting into four or five vehicles — four cars means four separate $5-plus-tax payments at the gate, four vehicles hunting for open spots in the same small lot, and four different walks in from wherever each one lands.
One bus replaces all of that with a single stop. Instead of your group's cars trickling onto NW Peacock Boulevard one after another, everyone arrives as a single vehicle, pays once, and parks once — and there's no risk of someone in your party ending up in an overflow row while everyone else is already inside.
Getting to Clover Park from Port St. Lucie and the Treasure Coast
From I-95, the team's own directions point to Exit 121: head east on St. Lucie West Boulevard, then turn left onto Peacock Boulevard, and Clover Park is on the right, per the official directions on the A-Z guide. The alternate route uses Exit 126 (Midway Road), running east to Torino Parkway and then to NW Peacock Boulevard. Both routes funnel onto the same short stretch of Peacock Boulevard right before the ballpark, which is exactly where a single bus beats a line of separate cars trying to merge in together.
Palm Beach International Airport to Clover Park
For a group flying in for a spring training trip, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is the closest commercial airport, roughly an hour south of Port St. Lucie up I-95. A bus reserved through the Port St Lucie airport transportation service gathers your whole group at baggage claim and runs straight to Clover Park or your hotel, instead of splitting a group that just got off a flight into three or four separate rideshares. PBI's own ground transportation page covers curbside pickup options if part of your group is arranging its own ride.
Clover Park Bus Rental vs. Driving Yourself
A private bus isn't the only way to get a group to Clover Park, and it isn't automatically the right call for two people going to a Tuesday night game. Here's how the options actually stack up.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Parking | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus | One flat rate, split across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | One $5 + tax payment total | 15–35+ |
| Rideshare | Per car, both directions | No — separate cars, separate ETAs | None needed, but post-game pickup can be slow at a single-road venue | 1–4 per car |
| Everyone drives & parks | $5 + tax per car, plus gas per car | No — group splits into a caravan | Multiple $5 + tax payments, multiple spots to find | 1–2 cars |
For a couple or a family of four, driving yourselves and splitting one $5-plus-tax parking payment is the simplest, cheapest option — there's no reason to book a bus for a trip that small. Once a group grows past a few carloads, though, the math flips: coordinating separate arrival times, separate parking payments, and a caravan trying to merge onto the same stretch of Peacock Boulevard gets more complicated than booking one vehicle for the whole group.
What Size Bus Fits Your Clover Park Group?
Clover Park's 7,160-seat capacity makes it a mid-size ballpark, and most groups heading there fall into the minibus-to-party-bus range rather than needing a full-size coach.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Small groups, family outings, a suite or group-seating block |
| 18-passenger minibus / 25-passenger minibus | 18–25 | Little league teams, birthday groups, office outings |
| 30-passenger minibus / 35-passenger minibus | 30–35 | Bigger fan clubs, church groups, school boosters |
| Party bus | 15–35+ | Groups wanting a built-in celebration ride to the game |
| Charter bus | Up to 56 | Large fan groups, tournament travel, out-of-town trips combined with a game |
The right pick comes down to your headcount. A Port St Lucie minibus rental is usually the right fit for a Little League team or a group of coworkers, while a full-size charter bus makes more sense if your group is coming from out of town and combining the game with a longer trip. Browse the complete vehicle lineup to compare what's available for your date.
Clover Park Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices
There's no single sticker price for a Clover Park bus rental — the quote depends on vehicle size, how many hours you need the bus reserved, and how far it has to travel to reach your pickup point. To give you an idea: a small group booking an 18-passenger minibus for a short trip within Port St. Lucie is going to price very differently than a 40-person charter bus booked for a full day trip up from West Palm Beach.
Here's how that plays out for a typical game-day trip. Picture a 22-person group booking a 25-passenger minibus for a Saturday night St. Lucie Mets game — pickup at 4:30 p.m. from a hotel near St. Lucie West Boulevard, at Clover Park with time to spare before gates open at 5:30, and a pickup arranged for after the final out. A rental like that, booked for around four hours, splits out to a manageable per-person cost once you count in what everyone would have otherwise spent on separate parking payments and gas.
Figures vary by date and demand, so the fastest way to get a number for your exact trip is to fill out the quick quote form or call 772-251-7120 — you can compare vehicles and prices for your date in under a minute.

Bag Policy and Rules at Clover Park
Clover Park runs a strict bag policy, and it's worth knowing before your group shows up with coolers or oversized bags in tow. Per the team's A-Z guide, bags are prohibited at the gate in 2026 with a short list of exceptions: diaper bags for guests with a baby, medical supply bags, and a small clutch or fanny pack no bigger than 5" x 9".
The prohibited items list is longer than most first-timers expect: full-sized bats, glass bottles, metal cans, outside food and beverages, cameras, video cameras, tripods, selfie sticks, drones, folding chairs, stools, skateboards, roller blades, pets other than service animals, noise-making devices, and weapons are all turned away at the gate. None of that belongs on the trip in, so pack light — the bus doesn't solve a bag left behind at the gate, but knowing the list before you leave does.
Leaving Clover Park After the Final Out
The same single road that brings everyone in sends everyone back out. Once a game lets out, the crowd from a full lot funnels back onto Peacock Boulevard toward St. Lucie West Boulevard or Torino Parkway at the same time, and rideshare transportation providers pulling into a small lot system have to work through that same bottleneck to reach anyone waiting near the gate.
With a bus reserved for the trip, that part is already handled. The vehicle stages in the lot during the game and is waiting when your group walks out, instead of you standing near the gate hoping a rideshare finds its way through the exit crowd. Your group climbs on together and heads home while everyone else is still working their way out of the same lot.
Mets Spring Training and the Clover Park Calendar
Clover Park runs on two separate seasons, and knowing which one your trip falls in changes how far ahead you should book. Grapefruit League spring training brings the New York Mets to Clover Park each February and March, and it's the busiest stretch of the year for the ballpark — small lots, a single access road, and a much bigger draw than a regular-season night game, all at once. If your group is planning a spring training trip, booking your bus well before February is the difference between locking in the vehicle you want and settling for whatever is left.
The rest of the year belongs to the St. Lucie Mets, the Low-A Florida State League affiliate that plays a full home slate from April through September, according to the team's own tickets and promotions page. Regular-season games are a lighter draw than spring training, but the parking math and the single-road bottleneck are the same every night — a bus works exactly the same way whether it's a Tuesday game in May or a sold-out spring training afternoon.
Tips for Visiting Clover Park
A few things worth knowing before a Clover Park trip, straight from the team's own published guidance:
- Gates open 40 minutes before first pitch for every game — plan your bus pickup with enough of a buffer to park and walk in before that window closes.
- Parking is $5 plus tax per vehicle for St. Lucie Mets games; one bus means one payment instead of several.
- Bags are prohibited with narrow exceptions for diaper bags, medical supply bags, and a small clutch or fanny pack no bigger than 5" x 9" — leave larger bags off the trip entirely.
- St. Lucie Mets games start at 6:10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 12:10 p.m. on Sunday — different than a typical evening-only schedule.
- Save the ballpark's number. Clover Park's front office is reachable at (772) 871-2100, and the ticket office is at (772) 871-2115, if anyone in your group needs to reach the ballpark directly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Clover Park Bus Rentals

Clover Park doesn't publish a separate motorcoach gate the way larger stadiums do — it's a single, city-owned lot system around the ballpark at 31 Piazza Drive.

How much does parking cost at Clover Park?
Parking runs $5 plus tax per vehicle for St. Lucie Mets games, per the team's own A-Z guide. A group splitting into several cars pays that amount several times over; a single bus pays it once.

Clover Park's 7,160-seat capacity makes most Clover Park trips a fit for a Sprinter van, an 18- to 35-passenger minibus, or a party bus. Larger fan groups or out-of-town trips combined with a game are better suited to a full-size charter bus. The vehicle lineup covers the full range.

Is there a bus or shuttle from Palm Beach International Airport to Clover Park?
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is the closest commercial airport, roughly an hour south of Port St. Lucie. A private bus reserved through Portstlucieminibuscompany.com can gather your group at baggage claim and run straight to Clover Park or a hotel, without splitting the group into separate rideshares.
When is the busiest time of year at Clover Park?
Grapefruit League spring training in February and March draws the biggest crowds of the year to Clover Park, when the New York Mets play their spring games there. Booking a bus well ahead of that window matters more than it does for a regular-season St. Lucie Mets night game.
How far in advance should we book a bus for Clover Park?
For spring training dates in February and March, the earlier the better — those are the busiest weeks of the year for the ballpark and for vehicle availability across the Treasure Coast. For a regular-season St. Lucie Mets game between April and September, a couple of weeks of lead time is usually workable, but calling as soon as your date is set gives you the most options.
