Randall’s Island Park is located on Randall’s Island, directly underneath the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (formerly the Triborough Bridge) which links Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx. The Park consists of two field complexes: Randall’s Island South Fields and Randall’s Island North Fields. The Manhattan Soccer Club and other NYC clubs use the Icahn Stadium soccer field (#10) in the North Complex, Kantor Fields (#60 and 61), Wards Meadow Fields (#70 to #75) and the East River Fields (# 80 to #85) in the South Complex. The park has undergone massive reconstruction that includes numerous new grass and turf soccer fields and new roads, parking, restrooms and related facilities. The signage on the island may be incomplete. Extra time should be allowed for negotiating the roads to the fields, especially for the new East River Fields (#80-85) and Wards Meadow Fields (#70-75).
Traffic Pattern Change - Effective Monday, August, 24, 2009, the traffic pattern in the south end of the park will change. The new one-way Wards Meadow loop road will open, providing access to the Hell Gate Fields (#60-63 including Kantor 1 and 2), Wards Meadow Fields (#70-75), the East River Fields (#80-85) and 103rd Street Pedestrian Bridge. Pocket parking is provided along the road, and the new parking lot is open under the Queens span of the RFK Bridge.
New RFK Bridge Exit to Randalls South Fields- April 2010. A new Exit Ramp has been opened in April 2010 permitting quicker access to the Randall’s South Fields from Westchester and the Bronx. If coming south from the Bronx, go straight on the RFK Bridge towards Queens after the Toll Plaza. Get in the right lane and take the first Exit marked "Randall’s Island". The exit ramp will take you to the south end of Randall’s Island. Turn right at the stop sign and then take the next right to get to Fields 70-75 and 80-85. To get to the Kantor Fields, turn right at the stop sign and go about 200 yards and the Kantor Fields will be on your right.
Parking is plentiful at Icahn Stadium (Field #10), and not too bad at the Kantor Fields. The new East River Fields #80-85 and Wards Meadow Fields # 70-75 have more limited parking. Parking at these fields may be difficult, particularly duiring game changeovers. Please allow extra time and plan to drop off players and circle back to the new parking lot under the Queens span of the RFK Bridge.
Restrooms are available at Icahn Stadium, at the golf center and at the tennis courts. Some new facilities near the new fields are under construction. Additional portable facilities are available at Kantor and the East River Fields.
