No Dogs Allowed on any Randall’s Island Fields.
Randall’s Island Park is located on Randall’s Island, which is directly underneath the Robert F. Kennedy (formerly 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 uses the Icahn Stadium soccer field (#10) in the North Complex, and Kantor Fields (# 60 and 61), the Ward Meadow Fields (#70-75) and the East River Fields(# 80-84) in the South Complex. The park has undergone massive reconstruction that includes the addition of numerous 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 Wards Meadow (#70-75) and East River Fields (#80-85).
New RFK Bridge Exit to Kantor/Randalls South Fields- April 2010. A new Exit Ramp has been opened in April 2010 permitting quicker access to the Kantor and 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 go to the Kantor Fields, turn right at the stop sign and go about 200 yards.
Parking is plentiful at Icahn Stadium (Field #10), and not too bad at the Kantor Fields. The new Wards Meadow and East River Fields have 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 find parking.
Restrooms are available at Icahn Stadium, at the golf center and at the tennis courts. Some new facilities are under construction. Additional portable facilities are available at Kantor and the East River Fields.
