Mission Statement

Fans of Valley Field exists to preserve the heritage and promote the usage of Sullivan (Valley) Field.  We intend to create a year-round community space for the surrounding neighborhoods and all of Grand Rapids.  While baseball will always remain at the heart of our park, we seek to expand our offerings to include numerous events, serving our youth and all who are young at heart.   We will strive to create a joyful and safe space keeping with the inclusive history of Valley Field.  We will work closely with the City of Grand Rapids to rebuild, expand and maintain this community gem. We seek to restore the park to its former grandeur while making it the premier community gathering space in our city.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

We, The Fans of Valley Field, strive to create a joyful, playful and safe space where everyone is welcomed.  In keeping with our field’s rich history of inclusion, we plan to continue to pay it forward by providing events and positive experiences where people of all races, genders, ages and abilities feel respected, know they belong, and come together to celebrate.  Please join us, and join each other in helping keep Sullivan Field a special, friendly place where all can play.
