The ballpark

Muskegon teams played at historic Marsh Field, built in 1916 and named a State of Michigan historic landmark.[2] The park is located at 1800 Peck Street Muskegon, MI 49441. Today, it is the home of the Muskegon Clippers, who revived the previous Muskegon moniker and play in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.[3]
