FAQ

Athletic Fields Address:1745 Rayville Rd.Parkton, MD 21120

Are we allowed to bring our pets?

NO! Due to insurance and safety concerns we cannot allow you to bring your pets to our facilities.  We understand this may not be ideal for you, however, there are thousands of individuals that utilize our fields throughout the year and we strive to do what we can for the safety and benefit of everyone.

Are we allowed to walk around property or play on the obstacle courses?
No! Please remain in the immediate area surrounding the sports fields.  Genesee Valley is private property and due to liability insurance you are not allowed anywhere on property besides the sports fields; that includes the woods, trails, and Challenge Course.

My GPS took me to 1717 Rayville Rd. but I’m not sure where the fields are located?
Turn onto Rayville road, pass the main entrance for Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center (big wooden sign), go up the hill and the sports fields parking entrance is the 2nd gate on the left.

How can I find out if our games are cancelled?
Please check with the organization who is running the event. Genesee Valley staff may not be aware of game change details.

Where can I stay if I’m coming for a multi-day event?
There are hotels in Shrewsbury, PA and Cockeysville or Hunt Valley, MD. These hotels are located in small towns about 20 minutes from Genesee Valley.

Are there public restrooms available on site?
Your event organizer will provide Port-a-Pots.  All buildings are private property and not associated with your event.

What should I do with my trash?
The Sponsoring event will provide trash cans.  Genesee Valley is a “Pack in, Pack out” facility so please respect our property and throw trash in the bins or take it home with you.

I need to drop off a cooler and tent can I just stop on Rayville Rd. to do that?
You cannot park or stop along Rayville Road; this only causes traffic jams.  Please park your vehicle in the designated areas and unload your things.

I see fields on both sides of the street, how do I get to the other fields?
After parking your vehicle, use the cross walks to cross the street.   Please do not climb over the fence; this will cause them to break and could result in injury.

Is smoking permitted onsite?
If you must smoke, please do so in the parking area and dispose of your trash properly.

We would like to tailgate after the games.  Is alcohol permitted on the property?
Alcohol is not permitted on Genesee Valley property.
