A brand-new mini-pitch is bringing the game of soccer to the heart of Allentown. On Tuesday, city officials, community leaders, and members of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer gathered at Jordan Meadows Park to celebrate the official opening of Allentown’s first-ever mini-pitch.
The 60-by-120-foot space, located at the intersection of American Parkway and Gordon Street, transforms a former roller hockey rink into a multi-use court designed primarily for soccer.
While the project was led by the city, Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer was proud to be in attendance to celebrate this moment for the Allentown Soccer community. The new mini-pitch is expected to provide access to more than 5,500 local youth, many within walking distance, and will host free clinics, pickup play, and community events.
This is more than a soccer space, it’s a hub for connection, development, and fun. We’re excited to see how this mini-pitch will support local players, strengthen neighborhoods, and grow the love of the game for years to come.
