Park director John Karel called the league a "drinking club" whose members were disrespectful to park rangers.
Kickball league president Ted McClusky says the real problem is that games were moved to a different part of the park, and neighbors don't like the extra traffic on their street.
The league has been playing in the park since 2007.
