Can a player just show up?
Walk up when no one has booked it
When the mini-pitch opened in October 2023, the city's recreation director said it would be open to the public daily during normal park hours, first come, first served, like all park game courts, and that the city planned to make it available to youth soccer organizations for scheduled play. (lakewoodca.gov, Oct 14)
Soccer: Lakewood's first soccer mini-pitch, donated by the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the LA Galaxy and Herbalife. (lakewoodca.gov, Oct 14)
