Whether you’re a player, coach, or spectator, this guide provides essential information to make the most of your time at Genesee Valley.
Navigating to Genesee Valley Sports Fields and Parking
My GPS is directing me to 1717 Rayville Rd., but I’m unsure about the field locations.
Don’t worry, you’re on the right track! When you turn onto Rayville Road, proceed past the main entrance for Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center – you’ll recognize the large wooden sign. Continue uphill, and the entrance to the sports fields parking area will be the second gate on your left. This will lead you directly to the parking convenient for all sports field activities.
Is it possible to briefly stop on Rayville Rd. to drop off equipment like coolers or tents?
To maintain smooth traffic flow and ensure everyone’s safety, stopping or parking along Rayville Road is strictly prohibited. This can cause significant traffic congestion. Please utilize the designated parking areas to unload any equipment. Park your vehicle in the sports fields parking area and then unload your cooler, tent, or other items.
Understanding On-Site Rules and Regulations at Genesee Valley
Are visitors permitted to explore the entire Genesee Valley property, including obstacle courses and trails?
To ensure visitor safety and comply with liability insurance regulations, access is limited to the immediate vicinity of the sports fields. Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center is private property, and for insurance reasons, venturing beyond the sports fields is not allowed. This restriction includes areas like the woods, trails, and the Challenge Course. Please help us maintain a safe environment by remaining in the designated sports field areas.
I see sports fields on both sides of the road. How do I reach the fields on the opposite side?
For your safety and convenience, please use the designated crosswalks to access fields located on the opposite side of the road after parking your vehicle. Climbing over fences is strictly prohibited as it can cause damage to the fences and potentially lead to injuries. Using the crosswalks ensures safe passage between the fields.

If smoking is necessary, we kindly request that you do so in the parking areas only and dispose of cigarette butts responsibly in designated trash receptacles. Please help us keep Genesee Valley clean and enjoyable for everyone by properly disposing of smoking-related waste.
