For further reading check out my friend's "Fort Greene Soccer" blog which proposes the creation of a soccer field at underused Commodore Barry Park, which is .6 of a mile from Fort Greene Park. Great idea. As far as I have heard however, the problem is that the FGP soccer players do not want a "real" NYC soccer field in the area, because they would then have to adhere to the Parks Dept's system of having to sign up and reserve use of City-maintained athletic fields. They believe they should be exempt. They want to play soccer wherever they want, whenever they want. This reservation system is standard practice, covering everything from the Tennis Courts in Fort Greene Park to ball fields in Central Park.
