ICAHN and Randall's Island Park

Click here for a detailed map of the Randall's Island facilities.

Randall’s Island Park consists of two field complexes: Randall’s Island South Fields and Randall’s Island North Fields. The club currently uses the Icahn Stadium soccer field in the North complex, and Kantor Fields 60 and 61, as well as East River Fields 80, 81, 82, 83 and 84 in the South complex. The park is undergoing massive reconstruction that includes the construction and addition of numerous soccer fields, both grass and turf. The construction includes not just the new fields, but also new roads, parking and related park facilities. The signage on the island may be incomplete. Extra time should be allowed for negotiating the roads to the fields, especially for accessing the new East River Fields (#’s 80, 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85).

There is toll of for entering the island. Leaving the island is free. The only entrances and exits from the island are from the Triborough Bridge at the north end of Randall’s Island.

Parking is plentiful at Randall’s 10 – Icahn, and not too bad at the Kantor Fields. The new East River Fields 80-85 have limited parking. The parking at these fields may be difficult, particularly during game changeovers. Please allow extra time and plan to drop off players and then circle back to find parking.
Carpooling is particularly recommended for the East River fields, and for all fields to save on tolls and gas

There are open rest rooms at Icahn Stadium, at the golf center, and at the tennis courts. Some of the restroom facilities may be closed or under construction. Additional portable bathrooms are located next to the Kantor Fields and the East River Fields.

Directions to East River Park (ERP) Fields
East River Park is on the Lower east Side of Manhattan.  The field numbers refer to the baseball backstops. From South to North the Fields are Grand Street, Houston Street and East 6th Street.  The Park runs from Exit 3 to Exit 5 on the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Drive (FDR Drive.)  For all three fields cleats are OK and no dogs allowed.

Directions to ERP 1,2 (Grand Street Field)
Take exit 3 from the FDR Drive (South Street exit.)  From the North, take a left on Montgomery Street and go under the highway into what looks like a parking lot for Pier 42.  Go north, east of the FDR
access road, on a narrow roadway, about 200 yards.  When the chain link fence on your right ends, the road widens out and there is a parking lot entrance (somewhat hidden) ahead to your right.  This is a public Parks Department parking lot.  There should be no trouble parking here this early in the season.  From the South at the end of the exit ramp you will take a right into the parking lot and follow the directions as above.  The field is about 200 yards north of the parking lot.

Subway:  About 3/4 mile away; at Grand/Chrystie on the B & D or
Essex/Delancey on the Q &V lines.
 
Directions to ERP 3,4,5,6 (Houston Street Fields)
The Houston Street field is between the Grand Street Field and the East 6th Street field.  It is brand new turf (finished in the fall of 2004) and is distinguished by the large brown turf baseball infields.  You can either park in the lot, as for the Grand Street Field and walk about ½ mile or find a parking place and walk over the highway and down the ramp at Houston Street.  To find a parking place, exit for Houston Street, as in directions to the East 6th Street field and let passengers off at Houston Street where they can cross the highway and go down the ramp to the field.  The Houston Street field is directly in front of you when you go down this ramp. 

Directions to ERP 7,8 (East 6th Street Field)
The East 6th street field is about ¾ mile north of the Grand Street Field and about 200 yards north of the Houston Street Field.  The East 6th Street field is a fairly new turf field with a grandstand on one side and a track around it.  It is possible to park in the lot, as for the Grand Street Field, and then walk north to the East 6th Street field.  It is the 2nd large field you will come to.  You will pass the Houston Street field on your way.  Alternatively, you can exit at exit 5 for Houston Street.  Immediately after the exit there is a footbridge crossing the highway.  Let your passengers and any heavy items off at this footbridge (the 6th Street Field is just north of this footbridge.)  Then look for street parking which is generally available but may take some looking.  It is inviting, but not legal (check the signs), to park on the exit ramp.
