Home Field Commons — Blountville's community campus
Twenty-five acres for everyone.
Sullivan County's new community commons — athletics, farmer's market, county offices, and gathering spaces on the former Blountville school grounds.
HOME FIELD
HOME FIELD
THE FIELDS
Three ball fields, a football field with track, batting cages, pickleball courts, and a playground. Rubberized track surface planned for Phase 2. Home Field is where Sullivan County plays.
THE MARKET
The Blountville Farmer's Market is moving to its permanent home at Home Field. Food truck rallies and community festivals round out the week. From Thursday market runs to Friday night out, this is where Blountville gathers.
THE OFFICES
Sullivan County Finance, Mayor's Office, Trustee, EMS, and Emergency Operations — all under one roof in the renovated Blountville Elementary School.
25 ACRES. ALL YOURS.
Three ball fields, a football field with track, pickleball courts, a farmer's market, food truck area, pavilion, walking path, county offices, and plenty of parking — all on one campus in the heart of Blountville.
This ground has always belonged to the people who live here. We just made sure it stayed that way.
HOME FIELD DAY
Coming Soon
The first-ever Home Field Day. A full community festival with a first pitch ceremony on the new Little League fields, food truck rally, live music at the pavilion, a fun run on the walking path, and free t-shirts for the first 500 families. If you went to school here, walk the halls one more time — we'll have before-and-after displays in the old buildings. Mayor Venable throws the ceremonial first pitch on Fields 1 and 2. Bring everybody.
BY THE NUMBERS
COMMON GROUND
Nearly a century of history. A community that refused to let go. Here's how we got here.
Blountville High Opens
The campus dates back to the 1930s when the high school first opened. For nearly a century, this 25-acre campus was the center of everything.
Schools Close
When the doors closed, the community made one thing clear: this ground is ours and we're not letting it go.
County Purchases Campus
Sullivan County purchases the 25-acre campus for $637,500. The transformation begins.
$8M+ Invested
County offices move into the renovated elementary school. Cafeteria becomes a community center. Infrastructure rebuilt.
Phase I Opens
Two brand-new Little League fields open in December. The first phase of the Home Field Athletic Park, built by J.A. Street & Associates.
Grand Opening
Home Field Day. The full campus opens to the public. First pitch, food trucks, live music. The day Blountville's been waiting for.
