Game-Day Fields:

The Next Level Soccer Academy hosts its matches at Mercer County Park, located in West Windsor, NJ as well as at Independence Park, located in Pennington, NJ.


Directions to Mercer County Park Fields:
Mercer County Park's Quaker Bridge Road Fields are conveniently located off of Route 295 at Exit 65A and Route 1 at the Quaker Bridge Road Exit.  This season we are utilizing Field #2, inside the Park.

Click here for a map of the entire Mercer County Park Complex - You may need to zoom in to see the field numbers.  Fields 1 & 2 are located in the bottom right corner in the red oval.

From Route 295, exit at Exit 65A (Sloan Avenue East) and proceed to the 3rd Traffic Light.  Turn Left at that light onto Edinburgh Road (aka Old Trenton Rd).  Proceed along Edinburgh (Old Trenton) Road for 2 miles to South Post Rd. As you go, you will pass through 2 traffic lights, the second of which is the entrance to Mercer County Community College.  About a mile beyond this 2nd light, and just before right lane ends, turn left onto South Post Road (easy to miss). After 0.2 miles, bear right into the Park, and continue right until road ends in a parking lot by soccer field bleachers.

From Route 1, exit at the Quaker Bridge Road Exit (Route 533 South) and proceed through several traffic lights until you come to the traffic light/intersection for Youngs Road (There will be a strip mall with a WaWa on your right and a Bank of America on your left). Turn LEFT at that light onto Youngs Road.  Proceed along Youngs Road until it merges with Hughes Drive.  Follow Hughes Drive to the first traffic light and turn LEFT at that light onto Edinburgh Road (aka Old Trenton Road).  Proceed along Edinburgh (Old Trenton) Road to South Post Rd. As you go, you will pass through a traffic light which is the entrance to Mercer County Community College.  About a mile beyond this 2nd light, and just before right lane ends, turn left onto South Post Road (easy to miss). After 0.2 miles, bear right into the Park, and continue right until road ends in a parking lot by soccer field bleachers.

From the East & Freehold area, follow NJ 33 west to NJ 133 (“Hightstown bypass”). Turn right on to NJ 133 and follow it all the way to the end. Cross Princeton-Hightstown road (county 571) at the traffic light. Follow this road until it ends at a "T" intersection, which is Old Trenton Road. Turn left on to Old Trenton Road. Continue on Old Trenton Road through two more lights (at Village Road and Edinburgh Road). After going through the 2nd light, continue to the Mercer County Park entrance. Make a right in to the park; this is the main road through the park. Follow the signs to Soccer Field #2 (it is near the dog park)

From the South via the NJ Turnpike - Exit the Turnpike at Exit 7A and proceed on Route 195 West.  Take Route 195 West to Route 295 North and then follow the directions above.
