KINGSTON – The newly-built youth soccer field and parking lot at Kingston Point Park are officially open.

“We were thrilled to cut the ribbon on a brand new youth soccer field at Kingston Point Park today,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “This is the first soccer field in our already extensive parks portfolio, so we are pleased to add this long-awaited amenity, and just in time for summer.”

The soccer field and parking lot were built as part of the Kingston Point Park Infrastructure Improvements Project Phase 1. The project was funded through a grant from the state Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation.

The parking lot and soccer field incorporated a design approach to bring the amenities out of the floodplain by elevating the land to adapt to sea level rise and avoid flooding. The design also incorporated green infrastructure elements to manage stormwater and to maximize green space.

A new accessible playground will be constructed adjacent to the beach on the north side of Delaware this summer. The playground was funded separately through the city’s Recreation Fee Reserve. Construction is expected to begin in early July.
