Visit the Island’s four Citi Bike docking stations for an easy way to get around and explore Randall’s Island Park and NYC!
Citi Bike Locations: Sunken Meadow, Wards Meadow, Bronx Shore Road and Icahn Stadium.
Buses to Icahn Stadium:
To ensure safe travel to Icahn Stadium and to avoid blocking circulation in our lots, large buses must drop off groups at the Icahn Stadium bus stop, for a short and safe walk to Icahn Plaza, and then proceed to park in Lots D, E, and/or F.
Cars:
Because there is very limited parking on the Island, we encourage visitors to walk, bicycle and/or take public transportation. Free parking is available only in designated parking lots. Tickets will be issued for parking outside designated parking lots.
For major events such as concerts and festivals, a fee will be charged for parking on the Island.
Additional convenient off-island parking for a fee is also available on the Manhattan side of the 103rd Street Footbridge, at MPG Garage 440 E 102nd Street.
Because of much-needed renovation to the RFK Triborough Bridge, MTA Bridges & Tunnels is working at various locations on the Island, which effects traffic patterns for visitors. For more information on construction visit the MTA website.
Ferry service is available in conjunction with major events. Check independent festival, concert and event websites to determine if ferry service will be provided.
