Reservable Fields (official games only)

There are 18 soccer fields located at Columbia Cosmopolitan Recreation Area. To ensure quality fields, soccer field rules and regulations have been established to allow use of soccer fields for game play only and not to be allowed for use of practices, scrimmages, and/or practice games. This policy is key to being able to maintain quality fields for use by Columbia soccer players and has been in place for over 10 years.

Soccer fields can be reserved for Tuesdays thru Sundays between the hours of 7am thru 11pm. There will be no play on the soccer fields on Mondays. This will allow the field maintenance crew to fertilze, top dress, apply weed control, etc.
