Summer can get lonely when you're an NYC Park without NYC Footy players running about. 

That's why we've made the decision to let some new friends in on the action and opened up those top secret locations you kept asking us about but never thought we heard you.

We did.

Our selection of first time pitches and new league formats is captured in our list below along with a few of our favorite off-the-pitch destinations you now have a great reason to head to after the game.

Need a quick rundown of all the new parks and leagues NYC Footy is playing at this summer? These are leagues that are making their long awaited debut and are currently accepting new free agents and teams

We probably couldn't be more excited to finally find our way to Riverside Park, arguably the most requested area of soccer fields we regularly receive. Sign ups here are already quite promising considering the lack of history. 

Friday
Riverside Park (UWS) I 7x7 Coed I P3, P4 FLIP I 6pm-8pm

Sunday
Riverside Park (UWS) I 7x7 Coed I P2, P3 I 4pm-6pm

In addition to this statement "W" on the west side, we have a lineup of never before leagues on the east side. Take a peek.

Sunday
East River Park (LES) I 9x9 Coed I P2 I 1pm-4pm
Peter's Field (Gramercy Park) I 7x7 Coed I P2 & P3 I 4pm-8pm 
Thomas Jefferson (UES/Harlem) I 7x7 Coed I  P3/P4 I 2pm-4:30 pm
Wagner Playground (Harlem) I 7x7 Coed I P4 I 5pm-7:30pm

This summer, we have had to dig long and hard to find opportunities that didn't before exist in the Footy lineup.

Perhaps the most opportunistic is a Brooklyn Heights option at Van Voorhees that finally gets our beginner league back in BK Heights with our Sunday evening P5 beginner league.

But if you don't fancy that, and you prefer a chill Saturday afternoon at one of BK's highest points (Sunset Park), then jump into our P3 and P4 options. 

Sunday
Van Voorhees (Brooklyn Heights) I 7x7 Coed I P5 I 6pm-8pm

Saturday
Sunset Park I 7x7 Coed I P3 & P4 I 2pm-6pm 

We finally have a Saturday option in Queens at LIC's Murray Playground. Sure the turf could use some new infill, but you can't beat the location. Come join us for a bit of Saturday afternoon footy and head on out to the local post-game scene with friends and frenemies alike.

Saturdays
Murray Playground (LIC) I 7x7 Coed I  P3/4 I 4pm-6pm 

The Post Game Plan

New pitches means new excuses to visit new neighborhoods which means the chance to finally get to that bar, restaurant, and iconic NYC landmarks you've always wanted to visit. Since our new summer pitches are scattered across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, we've selected a few of our favorites near some of our new pitches but we're excited to find out what places you plan on discovering nearby.
