Note that this schedule does not include Sundays during the fall because our fields are scheduled by the WYSL. You can find the WYSL games schedule at the WYSL link on the website. It is possible to use our fields when they are not scheduled for games, but this must be coordinated with the club. Please contact Bill Armstrong at warmstrong@waldinc.com for Sunday field options.

Please read the following Randalls Island field notes:

Field set-up and take-down

Corner flags and sand bags are in our container on Kantor field. If you are the first team to use the field you MUST set up the corner flags and check the nets.The corner flags with weighted bases must be used for all turf fields. Corner flags with ground spikes must be used on the grass fields and cannot ever be used on the turf fields. The last team using a field MUST return the corner flags and any sandbags to the container. Failure to set up or return equipment to the container may result in a fine!

Parking

Parking on Randalls Island will always be a challenge during peak hours on the weekends. The largest parking area is underneath the RFK bridge as you turn onto the road that leads to both the new Wards Meadow fields (70-75) and the East River fields (80-85). For teams using the Wards Meadow fields this is a primary parking location and may be the location with open parking on a busy day. There is also limited pocket parking along the roadways that go around the Randalls 70s and 80s fields. While parallel parking along these roadways is often tolerated by the park's enforcement police (PEP) they have been known to ticket cars parked this way. If you parallel park on the roadways you do so at your own risk. Parking off the roadway on the grass or dirt is strictly prohibited and will be ticketed.

With regards to Kantor fields, do not expect that the parks police (PEP) will allow cars to park in the area in front of the gates to the fields or along the roadway.

Goals and nets

Every home team is responsible for making sure that the goals are the right size and in the right place on the field. Nets must be secured to the satisfaction of the referee. There are usually ties and bungees in the club's Kantor container. 

Footbridge

This is a good way to get to our fields. Please encourage your players and opposing teams to use the bridge instead of driving to the island.The 102nd Street footbridge is currently open from 6 am to 9 pm. On September 30 the closing time changes to 7 pm. Here are the published opening times for the footbridge:
