Thomas Jefferson:
the field opens at 6am and closes at 1am
This field has a lot of things off the field with an amazing track and field selection, a playground, a basketball hoop, and a nice outdoor gym. It is in a nice area as well. If you are a member you will also gain access to the bathrooms and the pool. There is also a Citi bike doc nearby.

Jack McManus Field:
The field is open from 6am-10pm and is usually pretty available due to its location. It is on a island which makes it kind of hard to get to because you would have to take a train and then a bus. Usually there is a lot of people but no permits.

the Field is a pretty good spot if you can get to it with a nice view of the east side of Manhattan there is a nice playground next to it a long with a small area for seating.
Marx Brothers Playground:
Located on the upper east side Marx Brothers is open from 7 am until 9pm. The field is a good size with nice benches going a long it. There is pretty good off field space at the pitch with water fountains and trash cans. It is easily accessible through the Q train being just outside of the station.

Marx Brothers Playground is not big enough for an eleven vs. eleven game however will be good for smaller sided games. with relatively short hours. It is a good alternative to Randall's Island as it is much easier to get to.
