Philadelphia has a new mini-pitch thanks in part to the Philadelphia Union Foundation. Last week the foundation, Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer, city officials and community members gathered at F.J. Myers Recreation Center to unveil a mini soccer pitch.
The Union Foundation and Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer are committing more than a million dollars to building a total of 15 mini-soccer pitches and two full-size fields across Philadelphia.
The soccer pitches are part of the city’s Rebuild Initiative, an investment into revitalizing public spaces across the city.
