A new $100,000 soccer mini-pitch has been installed at Penbrook Community Park, marking the first of many planned improvements for the location. The installation of the mini-pitch was a fully grant-funded initiative driven by Philadelphia Soccer 2026, the local host committee for FIFA World Cup 26, in partnership with the US Soccer Foundation and Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer. A Grand Opening Celebration and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new mini-pitch is planned for 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at the Penbrook Community Park (2923 Boas Street Harrisburg, PA 17103). This event is open to all, and community members are encouraged to attend. The event will include a DJ, food trucks and an ice cream truck.
