KC Current, Target, Kansas City Parks & Recreation and U.S. Soccer Foundation Announce Mini-Pitch in Ashland Square Park

KC Current, Target, Kansas City Parks and Recreation, and the U.S. Soccer Foundation announced today the site of a new mini-pitch coming to Ashland Square Park. The organizations have teamed up to transform an under-utilized space into a brand-new, state-of-the-art mini-pitch. U.S. Women’s National Team and KC Current players Adrianna Franch, Sam Mewis, and Lynn Williams attended the announcement ceremony.

This project has been made possible through funding from KC Current and Target and builds on more than 100 mini-pitches the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Target have installed together over the past three years.

This mini-pitch also marks the latest development in the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s It’s Everyone’s Game national movement to ensure children in underserved communities can enjoy the health and youth development benefits of the game. To date, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has installed nearly 500 mini-pitches nationwide. The goal is to install 1,000 by 2026.
