Kids in Southcrest and Lincoln Park have a fresh place to play sports thanks to San Diego FC.

Zoom in: The colorful sport court and public art piece opened at the Willie Henderson Sports Complex over the weekend.

SDFC refurbished two basketball courts and made them multi-sport for basketball and futsal, or street soccer.
The club installed new hoops and hired a local artist to help design the new surface.

The big picture: The project is the second installment of SDFC's Parks & Pitches program to turn public parks and play spaces into community hubs centered on soccer.

The program's first court opened in Colina Del Sol last fall.
