Several bus routes provide convenient access to Fenway Park, making it a viable option for reaching the venue. The primary bus stop is located near the intersection of Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street, within easy walking distance of the ballpark, typically just a few minutes. Key bus routes serving this area include the MBTA's 60, 65, and CT2 buses. Route 60 connects Cambridge to Brookline, while Route 65 links Cleveland Circle to Kenmore Square, with both passing near the venue. The CT2 bus offers service between Kendall Square and Ruggles Station, also providing access. These routes connect various neighborhoods, including parts of Cambridge, Brookline, and Boston's Back Bay and Fenway areas. While most local bus services do not run 24 hours, the MBTA offers late-night service on some key routes, and the Silver Line (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL5) provides 24-hour service to certain parts of the city, though a transfer would be necessary for Fenway.

Driving to Fenway Park requires navigating Boston's often busy streets, but it is manageable with clear directions. The ballpark is located in the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood of Boston.

Parking options around Fenway Park are primarily in the form of numerous private parking lots and garages. Street parking is extremely limited and often restricted on event days. Expect to pay anywhere from $30-$60 or more for event parking, with prices varying based on demand and proximity. Some lots may offer hourly rates earlier in the day, but event pricing typically takes over. Park and ride options are available by utilizing the MBTA system; driving to a station on the outskirts of the city and taking the subway in is often more cost-effective and less stressful.
