Mets' Clover Park Joins Florida's Six in Top 10 Spring Training Spots

Clover Park in Port St. Lucie continues to cement its reputation as one of the premier spring training destinations in the country. Florida claimed six of the top 10 spots on a national ranking of Major League Baseball's Grapefruit and Cactus League facilities, according to available information.

The New York Mets' spring home on St. Lucie West Boulevard has long been a point of local pride for Treasure Coast baseball fans. It offers affordable tickets, intimate sightlines, and the rare chance to watch big-league talent up close before the regular season begins each March. The complex features multiple practice fields, a renovated stadium, and amenities that rival any facility in the Cactus League out west.

Florida's dominance on the list reflects decades of investment in spring training infrastructure across the state. Grapefruit League teams draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to host communities each February and March. The economic impact on the Treasure Coast from Mets spring training alone runs into the tens of millions of dollars annually, according to available information, touching hotels, restaurants, and retailers from Stuart to Vero Beach.

The full top 10 breakdown across all facilities was not independently confirmed by TC Sentinel, and specific ranking positions for Clover Park were not available from public records at press time.

Mets spring training at Clover Park is scheduled to open in February 2026, with full squad workouts and exhibition games running through late March. Single-game tickets typically go on sale in the fall through the Mets' official ticketing platform.
