About
Lion's Gate Field is a popular spot for soccer in the Lower East Side, but it shows its age. While the community vibe is authentic and lively, many users complain about the bumpy, uneven turf and lack of maintenance. It is a great place to watch a game or grab a snack from nearby Chinatown, but don't expect a pristine facility.
