6am- 1am this field is good for pickup and sometimes crowded with permits. It can be used for an 11vs11 but also for side games. There is a big wall on both sides of the field along with water fountains.

The best of the Riverside fields with the most space. This field is the most popular with a lot of people coming for pickup. There are sometimes permits here but not often.

Riverside field #2:

Open from 6am-1am this field has two full sized goals  and a bathroom with incredible fencing. It shares off field features with The other riverside fields such as a basketball court.

the field is king of small but usually pretty available. Mainly younger kids practice here with good bleachers and benches on the side to watch them.

Riverbank:

 Riverbank is a place where you have so much to do. With plenty of places to sit in the huge facility you could easily just relax and take in the view of the Hudson River. If you want to be active it is also a great place with a track rapping around the field, a pool, a basketball court, an iceskating rink, and goal posts for football. When you get tired you can even take a break in the latin area with their many vending machines and eating benches. However the features of the field are not so good.
