The mini-pitch is courtesy of the New York Red Bulls, the U.S. Soccer Foundation and the NYC Parks Department, who collaborated "to provide both critical afterschool programming and a safe place to play for New York City youth."

And the ribbon-cutting ceremony takes place this afternoon at the site.

The space will be known at the Lower East Side Playground Field.
