Spending an afternoon in the bleachers or an evening under the lights, sinking our teeth into a hot dog with our favorite toppings, and singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh inning stretch…that’s what summer is all about. Now you can introduce your pup to the magic of a day at the ballpark. These nine dog-friendly ballparks in Pennsylvania host special dog-friendly games throughout the season.
1. Altoona Curve – Bark in the Park
Spend an evening rooting for the Altoona Curve with your pup at Bark in the Park on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Join your pup in the outfield, where you might catch a homerun ball, for the game against the Reading Fightin Phils. The first pitch is set for 6 p.m.
Tickets for Bark in the Park are on sale now.

Membership in the Barkstormers Dog Club offers such benefits as a membership certificate, a bandana for your pup, and a headshot with stats on the club’s web page. Furry members will also be featured on the videoboard during Wet Nose Wednesday games.
Before you enter the ballpark, you must complete and sign a waiver.
