A neighborhood recreation hub that welcomes adults looking to connect, compete, and build lasting friendships through community sports and events.

It was hard finding any recreational softball leagues for adults in Riverdale, so Riverdale Sandlot was born.

ABOUT US

Founded in 2023 as a community softball league, we focus on providing approachable and welcoming athletics and events for all skill levels. Our flagship free adult softball league will enter its fourth season in the summer of 2026 and remains free for all participants thanks to our local partners.

While softball has been our core focus, we are beginning to expand our offerings to keep the neighborhood connected year-round. Following our first holiday cornhole tournament in late 2025, Riverdale Sandlot will continue to introduce new recreational sports and social events for adults in Riverdale.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to foster community bonds and positive social engagement by offering low-cost, inclusive, and welcoming recreational experiences for all older teens & adults in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx.

HOW DOES
IT WORK?

Riverdale Sandlot is built on community, not fees. We don’t require formal registration or membership dues. Our core offering is a free summer softball league; however, because we operate on limited field space, we utilize a first-come, first-served RSVP system for our weekly games.

Beyond the diamond, we host various one-off social events throughout the year. To stay in the loop on weekly softball RSVPs and upcoming neighborhood events, be sure to join our email list and our WhatsApp group.
