Rosa Parks Middle School

Tip: So you don’t get lost– Rosa Parks Middle School used to be Goethe Middle School. It had a name change but some maps including Unilocal have it on the map as the former name. Hopefully they change it but until then you are warned. Lots of people get lost coming here unless you are familiar so don’t worry if you were lost too. It s located between 21^st and 24^th Streets on 68^th Avenue. Ok. Now that that is out of the way, on to the review. This review is on the outdoor facilities and parking lot not on the school’s academics or staff. This school has a large field behind that it shares with the school (Hopkins) behind it. It is often used for soccer leagues and tournaments on the weekends. It is an ok venue but there are a few drawbacks. The fields are only somewhat maintained so there are places with grass worn out and mud puddles where the ball gets lodged and stops. Additionally, there are changes in ground level and there is debris on the ground both rocks and the garbage people leave behind to fly around the field etc. In addition there is little shade so bring umbrellas or easy ups if you are there in the hotter months. Be aware there are only port-​o-​potties –no access to bathrooms and when the POPs are in heavy use avoid at all costs! The grassy lot is large and several individual fields fit on it. There is a baseball diamond too. The parking is adequate in the lot just outside the gate and overflow goes out onto the streets surrounding it. The field is fenced in when not in use. It is an ok place to play, just come prepared for conditions & get your game on.
