Getting to Truist Park

Start with the fact that no train goes to Truist Park, because it shapes everything else. MARTA, Atlanta’s rail system, does not enter Cobb County, and there is no station within walking distance. The park sits at the I-75/I-285 interchange about ten miles northwest of downtown, and it was built with decks and lots to match, so most fans drive.

Your realistic options, best case first: sleep at The Battery and walk to the gate; drive and prepay a deck; rideshare to the one designated zone; or ride MARTA rail and a CobbLinc bus, which run every day of the week.

If you’re staying at The Battery

Two hotels sit inside the district, a couple hundred yards from the gates. Book one and you won’t have to think about transportation at all. There’s no deck, no surge pricing, and no bus schedule, and the postgame walk home takes less time than the seventh-inning stretch. You can find more about the two district hotels in our Where to Stay section.

Driving and parking

From downtown Atlanta it is about ten miles up I-75 North. From Hartsfield-Jackson, about twenty miles via I-285 North to the Cobb Parkway exit. It looks simple on a map, but it’s a Braves game at the junction of two of the busiest interstates in the Southeast, so treat the drive time on your phone as the best case. Gates open two hours before first pitch; using that buffer at The Battery beats spending it on an off-ramp. The Braves publish Waze links that route you to your specific lot, which is worth using the first time because the deck names will mean nothing to you yet.

The parking itself is color-coded decks and lots run by LAZ Parking. Buy in advance at braves.com/parking or in the MLB Ballpark app; day-of parking is card-only, and the close decks sell out for big games. The Red Deck is the closest and priciest. Green, Purple, and Silver balance walk and cost. The outlying lots (E41, E47 and similar) are the budget picks with a ten-plus-minute walk. A few decks are reserved for premium permit holders on game days, so do not assume every deck you can see is buyable.

Two warnings that save tow fees. The neighborhoods around the park are residential-permit-only, and Cobb County signs mean it. And there is no re-entry to the Braves lots, so pack the sunscreen before you leave the car.

Tailgating is allowed, but only in Lot 29. Grilling has to stay on the grass, and you need something to put the coals out. Every other lot and deck is a no-tailgate zone, so if a cookout is part of the plan, buy Lot 29.

Rideshare

One designated rideshare zone serves both the park and The Battery, along Windy Ridge Parkway. Drop-off is painless. Pickup after the final out comes with a big crowd requesting cars at once, surge pricing, and a queue. Stay at The Battery for a postgame drink and request your ride once the crowd thins out. Sports & Social sits at the Right Field Gate, so it is an easy first stop.

MARTA and CobbLinc buses

It exists, it is cheap, and it comes with conditions. MARTA is Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, the city’s rail and bus system; CobbLinc is Cobb County’s bus system. The park sits in CobbLinc territory, and the two published routes both involve a transfer:

• Via Midtown: ride MARTA rail to Midtown Station, take MARTA Bus 12 to Cumberland Mall, then the free CobbLinc Circulator Blue, which loops between Cumberland Mall, Cobb Galleria, and Truist Park. Cobb County says the Circulator runs every half hour, from noon to 12:20 am Monday through Saturday and from 11:30 am to 6:50 pm on Sundays.
• Via Arts Center: ride MARTA rail to Arts Center Station, take CobbLinc Route 10 up Cobb Parkway to the stop at Cobb Parkway and Windy Ridge Parkway, and walk about 7 minutes to the stadium. Route 10 runs every day of the week, according to Cobb County, which runs the bus.

On Sundays, plan on Route 10. The Circulator stops at 6:50 pm that day, while the last Route 10 bus passes Cobb Parkway and Windy Hill Road at 11:23 pm on Cobb County’s timetable, so look that up for your date.

Transit skips the parking bill entirely, but budget extra time for the transfers on any day. The bus leg plus the shuttle or walk can add up to well over an hour from downtown, against a drive that takes a fraction of that in decent traffic. A MARTA ride and a CobbLinc bus ride are each as low as $2.50, and the Circulator is free. After a night game, plan on Route 10, and check its last buses before you leave the park.

Accessibility and bikes

Accessible parking is in Lot 29 and the Red Deck, with accessible shuttles in Lot N29 and complimentary golf-cart service from the major decks starting two and a half hours before first pitch. Once you reach the gates, the park offers a free wheelchair escort to your seats, requestable in the MLB Ballpark app from two hours out.

Cyclists get racks near the Coca-Cola Roxy along Battery Avenue. The last mile of the ride shares roads with game traffic, so lights and patience.

Getting here from the airport

Getting from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Truist Park takes one MARTA train and one CobbLinc bus, with the switch at Arts Center Station, and it works on any day of the week. From MARTA’s Airport station, ride a Red or Gold Line train north to Arts Center, which MARTA puts at about 22 minutes from the airport. At Arts Center, catch CobbLinc Route 10 and ride it to the stop at Cobb Parkway and Windy Ridge Parkway. The Braves say the stadium is about a 7-minute walk from there.

MARTA charges as low as $2.50 a ride, and CobbLinc charges the same for a local bus. With a Breeze Card, Cobb County says the transfer between MARTA and CobbLinc is free for three hours in the direction you are traveling. Without one, you pay a separate fare on each system.

Heading back after a night game. The last bus is the one to plan around. As Cobb County’s Route 10 timetable stands, the last bus toward Arts Center passes Cobb Parkway and Windy Hill Road, the timed stop before Windy Ridge, at 11:13 pm Monday through Friday, 11:23 pm on Sundays, and 12:23 am late on Saturday night, so be at the Windy Ridge stop by then. After 9 pm, Red Line trains run only between North Springs and Lindbergh Center, so at Arts Center, board a Gold Line train to the Airport. The last one leaves Lindbergh Center, the stop before Arts Center, at about 1:36 am on weeknights and about 1:26 am on Saturdays and Sundays, going by MARTA’s rail timetable. Look at both timetables the week of your game, because Cobb County’s Route 10 page shows no effective date and MARTA’s rail timetable dates from 2024.

Rideshare and taxi. At the Domestic Terminal, rideshare pickup is in the North Economy lot. ATL says to go through baggage claim to the escalators between doors N2 and N3, then out door LN1 and across the crosswalk, about a 5-minute walk. At the International Terminal, rideshare pickup is on the outer curb of the arrival level, straight across the crosswalk from the A1 and A2 doors. Taxis wait in Aisle A of the Ground Transportation Center at the Domestic Terminal, and outside door A-1 on the arrival level at the International Terminal. At the stadium, the one rideshare zone is along Windy Ridge Parkway.

If you would rather drive, prepay a spot in one of the color-coded decks.

Take MARTA and Route 10 from ATL, and if you are heading back after a night game, leave the park in time for the last bus.

Luggage

The Braves run paid bag storage at the Smart Locker between the Orange and Truist Tower parking decks. It opens two hours before first pitch and stays open until an hour after the last out, and spaces go first come, first served. Storage is as low as $12 a bag for a baseball game.

For the 2026 season, the Braves do not allow bags inside Truist Park, apart from a short list of exceptions that includes clutches and clear bags no larger than 5 by 9 inches. You can find more about the exceptions in our Bag policy section.

Inside The Battery, Radical Storage has a spot at 950 Battery Ave SE for as low as $6 a day. It is listed as open 7 am to 11:30 pm every day, which leaves time to pick up a bag after most night games, and it takes online bookings only, with no walk-ins or cash.

With a suitcase, book the Radical Storage spot before you land, because the Braves’ locker does not open until two hours before first pitch and takes bags first come, first served.

The five gates

The park has five gates, and every one of them gets you to every seat. For orientation: the Chop House Gate is the Battery-scene entrance, the Right Field Gate fronts Sports & Social off Battery Avenue, the Left Field Gate sits at the bottom of the Delta Deck by the Warren Spahn statue, the Third Base Gate faces the Phil Niekro statue (and the kids zone), and the First Base Gate faces the Orange Deck by the Bobby Cox statue.

If you do have a choice and no crowd to beat, the Chop House Gate walks you in through the loudest part of the district, which is the arrival this park was designed around.
