The volume of support has reached a level that allows us to formally request a meeting with the Parks and Recreation department. We are currently finalizing the project proposal and site requirement documents to present at that hearing.

Living here for 5 years and had to drive way too far just to practice. Getting a local field would be a huge deal for the community.

With more than 300 players we definitely need another ground preferably in the NE side.

Much needed. Would be awesome if there were lights for night games to draw an audience too.

Cricket is a sport which was fist played in 16th century in England. Since then this sport spread its wings across the world. Now more than 10 countries are full members of the International Cricket Council and more than 100 countries are associate members of this council including USA. There are more than 15 teams in and around Grand Rapids want to play cricket, unfortunately we don’t have proper ground/field to play. I would request to develop cricket in this area by providing the ground. There are lots of benefits playing cricket such as better fitness and health, meet new people, develop leadership skills etc.
