West Valley College Celebrates the Grand Opening of Valhalla Park

Saratoga, CA – West Valley College is proud to announce the Grand Opening of its
new state-of-the-art baseball complex, Valhalla Park.

This modern facility boasts a world-class playing field, training spaces, and spectator amenities, providing
a premier environment for athletic competition and community engagement.
"Valhalla Park represents the District's commitment to building facilities that not only exceed NCAA
standards but elevate our ability to engage with the local community," says Bradley Davis,
Chancellor of the West Valley-Mission Community College District. "With the latest advancements
in sports technology and community-oriented facilities, Valhalla Park heralds a new chapter for our
athletics program and our collaboration with the local and collegiate sports community."
Nestled in the town of Saratoga, Valhalla Park features a captivating tree-lined outfield that adds natural
beauty to the stadium's sleek, contemporary design. A testament to innovation, the Park features a cuttingedge
scoreboard, MLB-quality locker rooms, as well as seating for over 500 spectators.
"Valhalla Park is among the finest collegiate baseball facilities on the West Coast," says John
Vlahos, Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for the West Valley-Mission Community
College District. "No stone was left unturned in the development of this project, and our studentathletes
will benefit from cutting-edge technologies throughout. We appreciate the support of our
community, which helped turn this dream into reality. Valhalla Park truly is heaven for our Viking
student-athletes."

This facility continues the physical transformation of West Valley College in alignment with the District's
Facilities Master Plan. Funded by local taxpayers through the passage of Measure W, Valhalla Park
represents the community's investment in modernizing district facilities by completely reimagining the
former complex, which had seen no major renovations since being built in the 1970s.
"Athletics plays a pivotal role on campus, and our student-athletes and the faculty and staff that
support them are dedicated to excellence—putting in the work to support students in their
academic life and in training hard to be the best they can in their respective sport. We're proud that
our students can display the results of their efforts and the West Valley Viking spirit at Valhalla
Park," says West Valley College President Dr. Jennifer Taylor Mendoza.

The Grand Opening and Ribbon-Cutting ceremony will be Friday, January 26, 2024, at 1:30 p.m., followed
by the season-opening game between the Vikings and the American River College Beavers starting at 2 p.m.

The Complex is located at West Valley College, 14000 Fruitvale Ave Saratoga, CA 95070.
