Austin, traditionally known for its live music scene and more recently as a burgeoning tech city, has also emerged as a vibrant hub for soccer enthusiasts. From informal games and mini-pitches in local parks to organized supporter groups for Austin FC, the city boasts a thriving soccer culture.

The Austin Parks and Recreation Department actively promotes soccer through scholarships and programming for children at recreation centers across the city. The department has also engaged in several soccer-related partnership projects, including collaborations with Austin FC, 4ATX Foundation, Soccer Assist, and US Soccer Foundation to add mini-pitches at Dove Springs District Park, Wooldridge School Park, and Civitan Neighborhood Park.

More information about public soccer fields and mini-pitches in the city can be found at AustinTexas.gov/Soccer.
