Hey guys,
I’ve done a bit of research for a playing field but nothing seems ideal. Our best bet I think is a field on 25th and N NW. There’s a school there (Francis Steven’s) that has public park facilities (a pool, playground, etc.) There are two relatively sizable fields, one behind the school and the other right next to it. We might be able to play there, but my concern is there might be flag football players or soccer players occupying the spaces around 6. I’ve seen them play there before, but at different times. That said, I still think it’s worth checking out.
Does anyone else have any ideas on where we might be able to play? I’m open to suggestions.

We could also try Quincy Park in Arlington: http://www.arlingtonva.us/Departments/ParksRecreation/scripts/parks/QuincyPark.aspx.
Yes, it is Northern Virginia, but it’s very accessible by Metro and no, you don’t need a passport to get there. 🙂
There’s also a field tucked in under 22 and P St that’s close to that location. Or are you talking about that field already
There’s also a small field at 22 and S st that I’ve played on before. Lots of dog turds and just big enough for a field.
Is this for Wed and/or Sat? Related to the gov closing or just generally trying to find a better spot than the mall?
This is a temporary thing. We got kicked off the Mall on Saturday because of the shutdown.
That sucks! Sorry to hear it. Hopefully we can find another option, or more importantly, hopefully the shutdown ends soon!
25th and N is a good location and a nice park if anyone can get there early enough to secure it.
I called three people today trying to figure out if the King Greenleaf field between the Waterfront and Navy Yard Metro is available but couldn’t get a definite answer. I’ll try again in the morning, but 25th and N sounds like a good backup for now!
If people need someone to go to 25th and N to claim a spot, I can do that.
