Parking

Due to the temporary closure of fields by New York City, more games will be played on grass this year, and some games may need to be played off the island at Macombs Dam Park, Mott Haven Educational Campus, or Pier 40. We are doing are best to keep all games on the island.

Randall’s Island Directions

GPS Address: 20 Randall’s Island Park, New York, NY 10035

Parking on the island is very limited and gets crowded fast, especially during the middle of the day. We highly recommend carpooling, taking the M35 public bus from 125th Street, or walking over the 103rd Street footbridge or RFK Bridge footpath from Queens.

If you must drive to the island, please park only in designated parking spots. Cars will be ticketed if they are not parked in designated spaces, including on the grass and along the road. The City Showcase CANNOT do anything about parking tickets. This is run entirely by Randall’s Island and the NYC Parks Department. We suggest parking near fields 50 and 51, 40s fields, and Icahn Stadium. You can drop off players near the entrance to the Wards Island loop and find parking farther north. There may be tram service around the island, but it is unpredictable so plan to walk.

If you plan to bring a bus, please call Randall’s Island staff in advance to enquire about special procedures at (212) 860-1899.
