I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'football pitch' is the definition.
'park' can be an answer for 'pitch' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'football' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for park that I've seen before include "Recreational area - align a car in a bay" , "Nick - - , Aardman animator" , "See 1" , "Enclosed area with trees" , "gear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
