Athletic Fields
The transformation of the athletic fields from cow pastures to the home fields for the local recreation council has been a gradual process spanning the last three decades. This shift was driven by the community's need for structured sports field programs, enabling youth to delve into sports like lacrosse, and most recently, soccer. Tom, a passionate coach, played a significant role in steering and supporting these initiatives over the years. Genesee Valley athletic fields have grown over the years to a total of 7 regulation lacrosse and soccer fields and 2 youth fields hosting not only the local rec and club program but also a showcase location for girls club lacrosse tournaments.
Our groomed and maintained sports fields see roughly 40,000 people annually. We host a number of athletic events throughout the year, from lacrosse tournaments to cross country runs. We are proud to provide practice fields for school and recreational teams, and to carry on a tradition of supporting our local athletics.
If you are interested in renting our fields for practices, scrimmages, tournaments, runs or events, please contact Jane LaMonica: jlamonica@geneseevalley.org
