Construction and Fundraising has begun on

 The Pavilion at DiCaprio Park

 DiCaprio Park, opened in 2003, is home to our youth soccer and lacrosse programs. Each year, the Park serves over 2,000 athletes and their families.  There is a real need for a Pavilion to provide our children with shelter and restroom facilities. To date, past contributions and cost reductions have resulted in 60% of the funds needed, and construction is now underway.

 Guilderland Youth Soccer Association, Guilderland United Soccer Club and Guilderland Lacrosse have joined together to raise the additional funds needed to complete the project.  Our first effort has begun with our “Paver Project”. To show your support you can purchase a paver brick, engraved with your name or personal message. Offered in 2 sizes, the pavers will be placed in a patio area adjacent to the pavilion.

 Paver brick order forms are available on this website [click here] or by contacting

Debbie Hilson at DJHilson@aol.com.  If you wish to make a contribution without purchasing a paver, any contribution will be appreciated, and should be sent to the following address.

 Please make check or money order payable to “GUSC – DiCaprio Fund”
