Written By Jessica Gutowski-Slaydon

We are thrilled to share exciting news about a beloved community space in our WestSide neighborhood. Sullivan Field, which has been a cornerstone of our community for years, is undergoing a much-needed facelift, and we're proud to announce that Swift Printing is one of the sponsors supporting this exciting restoration project.

At Swift Printing, our commitment to the WestSide community goes beyond our expertise in printing. We believe in investing in the places we call home, and that includes helping to revitalize cherished spaces like Sullivan Field.

A bit of history: Bob Sullivan, Sullivan Field’s namesake is Walt’s mentor, longtime friend and Sullivan’s Tile used to be located in our building.

Sullivan Field has played a significant role in our community's history and has been a gathering place for families, friends, and neighbors. We are excited to see it brought back to life and made even better, thanks to the collaborative efforts of many individuals and organizations.

Side bar from Jes: If you have not been to Sullivans Field, you need to check it out. (keep in mind it is locked up when not in use.) I had the privilege for our band to play in August and we shot a promo under the bleachers. There is something extra special about the space. I think the best part is it’s in a neighborhood, you just don’t see ball fields like that anymore.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in this restoration project, especially the dedicated crew of Fans of Valley Field. Your hard work and dedication are making our community stronger and more vibrant.

Together, we can keep the WestSide the best side of town. The revival of Sullivan Field is a testament to the spirit and resilience of our community, and we can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on all of us.
