The North Meadow is an expansive landscape where Central Park visitors can play soccer in the fall.
A field permit from NYC Parks is required for leagues, teams, and other groups to reserve specific fields at specific times.
Cleats are prohibited. Our staff work year-round to keep fields healthy and well-maintained for all Park visitors to enjoy.
