El Dorado Park is now open in Lancaster.

The brand new mini-pitch at El Dorado Park is now open thanks to the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Target! #NewSoccerField

This project is part of the U.S. Soccer Foundation #SafePlacesToPlay program, which seeks to transform underutilized areas into state-of-the-art pitches by creating safe soccer play spaces that all community residents can use. In support of the program’s mission to improve lives and communities through soccer, Target pledged $6 million to create 100 mini-pitches in communities across the country by the end of 2020 and Lancaster was one of them!

Please follow all LA County safety guidelines when visiting the park. Guidelines may be found at http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/coronavirus/docs/people/FAQOutdoorRecreation.pdf.

Keep an eye on the U.S. Soccer Foundation website where they will share information about a new feature allowing residents to download or virtually color mini-pitch coloring sheets that are based on community artist designs from the real life pitches across the country!
