New York City Lions Youth Football League

New York City Lions Youth Football League operates an outdoor field tucked under the FDR Drive near Grand Street, providing a concrete venue for local tackle and flag programs. The entrance lies just across the walking bridge at 728 FDR Drive South Sixth Street, adjacent to East River Park in New York, NY 10002, where students and parents arrive for after-school practices and weekend scrimmages.

Spectators can watch games on the east side of the FDR footprint or head down to the adjacent park space for post-practice gatherings. Families seeking the field can plan the route using the directions map on the league’s page. Between plays, call (212) 380-8716 for sideline details without scrambling through the stands. East River Park offers the closest benches and skyline views during the season.
