The renovated Port St. Lucie home of the New York Mets joins a Florida-dominated list, boosting Treasure Coast's MLB spring training prestige.
Clover Park in Port St. Lucie has earned recognition as one of the top spring training facilities in the United States. Six of the nation's 10 best Grapefruit League venues are located in Florida.
The New York Mets have called Clover Park home for spring training since the complex opened in 1988. The facility has undergone significant renovations in recent years that enhanced the fan experience, expanded seating, and modernized clubhouse and training infrastructure. For Treasure Coast baseball fans, the venue offers a rare and relatively affordable chance to watch major leaguers up close each February and March before the regular season begins.
Florida's dominance on the national ranking reflects the state's long-standing grip on Grapefruit League baseball, with facilities spread from the Tampa Bay area to the Palm Beaches. The Treasure Coast benefits directly. Clover Park draws visitors from Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties every spring, generating local economic activity across hotels, restaurants, and retail.
The 2025 Mets spring training slate runs from late February through late March, with Clover Park hosting both home games and open workouts that typically draw thousands of fans from the region.
For local fans, the rankings serve as a timely reminder that one of baseball's premier spring destinations sits in Port St. Lucie's backyard. Single-game tickets and full spring schedule information are available through the Mets' official website at mets.com.
