  Randalls Island is in New York County, which is better known as Manhattan, one of the five boroughs of New York. The community was named for landowner Jonathan Randal. The latitude of Randalls Island is 40.796N. The longitude is -73.922W. It is in the Eastern Standard time zone. Randalls Island is at the confluence of the East and Harlem rivers. Purchased in 1772 by British Captain James Montresor; acquired by the City of New York in 1835. In the 19th century, island institutions housed juvenile delinquents, sick and poor immigrants, alcoholics and the mentally ill. Most institutions were forced to close in the early 1900s, to make way for construction of the Triborough Bridge. The bridge, supported by Randalls and Wards islands, opened in 1936. With the filling in of water to the south, Randalls Island was joined with Wards Island. RISF’s signature facility on Randall’s Island, Icahn Stadium, was opened on April 23, 2005. The Stadium, a world-class track & field facility, is capable of hosting local, regional and national events. In addition, over 65 new and improved playing fields will begin development in 2006. Additional projects include a new Boardwalk just adjacent to the Stadium, leading to the Little Hell Gate Inlet – where a restored salt marsh and freshwater wetlands will soon improve water quality and wildlife habitat. This Boardwalk will also connect to roughly a mile of visible and accessible pedestrian and bicycle trails between the Inlet and the 103rd Street Footbridge from Manhattan, with interpretive signage and increased access to waterfront resources and current and future Park facilities. Upcoming projects, slated for the next few years, include a Water Park, a 20-court Tennis Center, a Visitors/Nature Center, additional pathway sections, and extensive environmental restoration. Programming at Randall’s Island includes visits by Cirque du Soleil and an annual summer concert series. RISF also runs its free Randall’s Island Kids (RIK) youth programs at the Park. Working in partnership with local public schools and community-based organizations in Harlem and the South Bronx, RIK brings thousands of children to the Park each year for a range of free sports and environmental education activities. These programs will continue to grow in terms both of capacity and complexity as new recreational, athletic and environmental facilities are developed. RISF’s Management, Restoration & Development Plan is being carried out through a calibrated balance of individual, corporate and foundation philanthropy and public funding, alongside private investment in facilities planned to generate much-needed revenue toward Park maintenance. Others consider the over reliance on privatization and corporate dominated funding as reckless and elitist. The Foundation is a model for urban renewal and revitalization as it works on the most important new recreational resource in New York City. Online Randall's Island Manhattan Tickets |
