Polo was first brought to polo to Grand Rapids in the 1950s. Polo has been played in and
around Grand Rapids since that time at virtually every level. Eventually, the Kentree Polo
Club was formed and outdoor polo was played at the fields at Flat River in Fallasburg Park.
Polo flourished in in West Michigan in the 1980s as more people began playing and events like
"Polo in the Park" were regular summer occurrences. In 1987, Les Johnson and Meadowview Farm
brought the action of indoor polo here with an indoor arena for polo.
While polo is no longer played at the fields in Fallasburg Park, polo continues on. The
Meadowview Farm Polo Club carries on the traditions and excellence of polo by offering a
traditional grass polo field (similar to the one in Pretty Woman) that is the regulation size
of 160 yards wide by 300 yards and a newly constructed outdoor arena that is a regulation
size of 150 feet by 300 feet. People from all aspects of life from young entrepreneurs to
farmers to fire fighters are playing polo with the Meadowview Farm Polo Club.
Our newly constructed arena showcases the quick, physical and intense game of arena polo.
The new arena is a regulation size of 150 feet by 300 feet and provides a great view of all
the action. By contrast, our traditional grass polo field (similar to the one in Pretty Woman)
is 160 yards wide by 300 yards long which provides more room for players to let their ponies
really run.
