Allerton Soccer Field

Allerton Soccer Field occupies the south-west corner where Bronx Park East and Allerton Avenue meet. A rectangular pitch with six adult-length lanes, it hosts weekend leagues and pickup games under alternating cloud patterns over East Tremont’s brick rooftops. Trees along the off-side boundary drop dappled shade by midsummer, and the routine squeak of cleats on turf blends with passing El cars.

Need a last-minute spot to kick the ball around on Saturday morning? The flat stretch runs between Lot A and the track’s infield, converting easily from fields to bounce-space for adjacent leagues. Walk the perimeter path from Allerton Ave and you’ll pass the equipment shed tucked beneath Norway maples—padlock color-coded green, no driver license required.

Find the blue Allerton Soccer Field sign on the southeast fence; weekday floods come on at dusk in winter. Stop by directions from anywhere in the Bronx before the light turns amber. Leave the car there and you’re halfway to Boston Road’s early-morning bodegas.
