The life of a city needs ballfields for families to stay and grow and thrive. Thank you for making this happen for all of us!!

More fields = healthier, more compassionate and fitter kids The pitch is a special place where through play and shared passion young New Yorkers are exposed to the socio- economic and cultural diversity that makes up our city! It is critical to the future of our city! Field space is the best gift we can give our young people !

Field space is at a minimum in NYC. I cannot stress enough that a plan is put in place to expand and upgrade Pier 40. Thank you.

Substantial addition to field space is crucial for children living in the area. I support this petition without reservation.

I strongly support this petition.

Both my children grew up playing soccer at Pier 40, with my son aged 17 stilling playing. This is a great resource of developing our youth in sports, which is great challenge in Manhattan. This is one area we desperately need to grow and not diminish in any manner!

DUSC prides itself on being a “downtown” club. Logistics of play are tremendously important, to the community. Providing more fields is imperative in regards to access. More children than ever are interested in playing, and all should have an opportunity.

This redevelopment is vital for the health of our children and the future growth of the city.

Strongly endorse a plan that expands athletic field space at Pier 40. This is crucial for the sports leagues that serve both children and adults as well as the schools.

This is one of last large opportunities to preserve recreation space downtown!

I support your petition

We're a family of 5 living downtown for 23 years and have seen how quickly our community has outgrown ALL available parks/fields/spaces. We need Pier 40 for the new generation!

We need these fields for our children!
