Cherry Island Soccer Complex

Gorgeous place. Parking sucks though. So does the parking fee. I try to park outside and walk in. However, I always have a great time there for competitions and events.

Son had soccer tournament there. $ 8 per car to park, completely absurd.

Decent complex for soccer, but not nearly enough shade around the fields. Don’t read this the wrong way… there is some shade… and it’s better than other complexes in the area… just not enough around the actual playing fields.

I hate the parking cost its the worst they charge per day even for 3 day tourneys. Horrible to take advantage like that for a park.
Not much shade in the center fields.

Great location for soccer games. The fields are well tended. In my experience, any issues with turf or fields are corrected quickly. Pleasant for players and spectators as there are many mature trees to provide shade between fields, garbage collection, water, and snack bar facilities.
There is deceptively more room for parking then it appears, with ample overflow parking during busy days or tournaments
The cost for parking is what it is — but with limited county support, at least it all goes back to soccer with the non-​profit California Youth Soccer Association — District VI (CYSA).

Awesome place for soccer tournaments! Parking was $ 8 a day or $ 15 for the weekend but once you’re in there’s plenty of parking although you may have to walk a ways. Once you sit for your game there are lots of trees for shade! Restrooms were clean and easy to locate!

Great place for soccer games. This complex has lots of trees that provide shade which is much needed on days like today. The tournaments provide a few lunch and souvineer trucks. The 8.00 charge for parking is quite unpleasant but all in all a nice place.

Soccer, soccer, soccer. This place is far out of the city and off the beaten path but is worth it if you love soccer. It has 10 fields, adequate parking for an $ 8 fee, and real bathrooms. CI is a great place for tournaments and events. The fields are good but the terrain can be rough. There are muddy patches, uneven patches and sometimes rocks or debris on the fields but it is a green pitch each direction you look. Big trees provide some shade and easy up space is plentiful. Parking is a money maker for this place. There are parking natzis that monitor your every move. Some allow parking on grass, others tell you to then others say no. There is an entrance and exit and overow parking in back. The parking has in and out privileges which is good but $ 8 if you have a practice or one game is steep. USEFUL TIP: parking is free right along the fence on two sides so if you need to avoid the fee park there and walk in. The bathrooms here are real with paper towels, toilets and soap but the water hardly stays on but if you have to go it is worth it. There are two but also port o potties most of the time as well. Depending on what event is here it could be really busy not a space to be had or it could be pull up right to your field. I will be back for sure.

This is a great field… while the parking costs $ 8 per day for a tournament, the ushers are terrific. They are very polite and helpful! Everything is clean and there is plenty of parking and shade.
While the complex is out of the way, a little challening to get to, we always have always had a positive experience here.

Great fields and plenty of parking.

The referees are always HORRIBLE but the venue is awesome! Fields for days… Even with some tree shade AND although you have to pay there is a little bit of street parking available

The soccer mecca in the ghetto!
8 fields, all with their own personality — squarely and completely out of the way from any normal soccer playing human (s). Who knew Watt avenue extended this far?
$ 6 per day for parking. But this does allow in-​and-​out privileges. The scary gate keepers are intimating, they don’t play. If you’re a baller-​on-​a-​budget, you can park on the perimeter of the fields and walk in, which is free-​99!
Dogs are not permitted, which is completely okay in my book. Their dumb owners are normally the ones who don’t take care of them and their little do-​do droppings. By no means do I want to see dog crap all over the field or the sidelines, and I especially don’t want to smell that stuff. But you can always see a few of the smaller dogs who have been hidden in over sized soccer bags…
They generally have two or three Field Marshall’s roaming around if there are any issues with the field, players, refs, etc. Their snack bar is as average as they come. They sell a variety of bagels in the AM, and they’ll toast them too. Burgers that take about 30 minutes to make and hot dogs in the PM feeding frenzy. They carry the generic Gatorade’s from Costco and a plethora of snacks — plenty of Carbs & sugars to get your through your tourney.
It’s a great soccer complex, because it can house tons of people. There is ample shading, but don’t get lazy — you have to move around as the day wears on, or else you’ll be stuck frying under the sun. Each tourney offers different added things to the atmosphere, so it just depends…
The grid-​ie in me hates the location, but once I’m there, it isn’t so bad!

I actually really love this place. I’ve been coming here since I was little to watch my mom play soccer and now I play too. Spacious parking, and while it takes awhile to figure out the field numbers, I’ve had mostly positive experiences here. There’s plenty of shade for spectators and they are great about opening up the snack bar for tournaments.
Yes, there is a parking cost for kids tournaments but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no fee for adult regular rec women’s soccer. Park and walk further if you must, but on tournament days its generally worth my $ 6 so I don’t mind.
The fields are well maintained and the no dogs rule is appreciated. The bathrooms are clean and while the fields themselves are a little out of the way, there’s a nice trail behind one of the fields for a quick trail walk for those without a 2 hour soccer watching attention span. What more can you ask for?

Fields are great, but they have some serious balls charging $ 6 to park so we can watch our kids rec games. Lame.

Is this Elverta or Rio Linda? I’m not really sure, but the fields are level, there’s ample shade for spectators, and the parking is streamlined with staff who aren’t afraid to bark at idiots exiting out of the lot entrance despite explicitly marked easel signs. Take THAT, every other field in Sac that doesn’t cost $ 478 142 748 291 a game to play rec soccer.
