Elliot Park Field

Elliot Park Field opened in the fall of 2015 and is home to the North Central men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse programs. The field was built in a unique partnership between NCU and the City of Minneapolis Parks and Recreation department. This partnership provided a full-sized, 11 versus 11, NCAA-regulation field to be built in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, in one of the oldest city parks in the department. The field is available for rental through the City of Minneapolis and is also home for many of North Central’s recreation and wellness department intramural activities.
