NY 7s - Fields for 2009 and Getting to and from Randall's Island PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 23 July 2009

Randall's Island Park is located in the East River below the RFK (formerly known as the Triboro) Bridge, adjacent to East Harlem in Manhattan, the South Bronx, and Astoria, Queens. It is accessible by public and private transportation.

The 2009 NY 7s Tournament Field Map

We are excited to have ALL new fields for this year's tournament! Please note that nearly all of these fields are state-of-the-art Field Turf, and screw-in metal cleats are not permitted on them, so make sure to wear your molded cleats or turf shoes. You can see a picture of two of the new fields HERE.

By Subway/Bus ($2.25 fare):

Take the 6 Subway line to 103rd St. Walk 1 block east from Lexington Avenue to Third Ave, then 1 block south to 102nd Street. Walk east on 102nd for 3 blocks until you see the FDR Drive and East River in front of you. Walk north along the FDR for 1 block to tthe 103rd Street Footbridge at 103rd Street and the East River/FDR Drive. Cross the footbridge, and you will see a few of our tournament fields (in the East River Fields section) right in front of you. THIS IS BY FAR THE EASIEST WAY TO GET TO AND FROM THE TOURNAMENT. (note you can also take a cab to East 102nd & the FDR and walk from there if you prefer to avoid the subway)

 

By Car or Cab: (Note: toll is $4.50 entering the island and free when leaving the island)

  • Stay to the left on the bridge

SHUTTLE BUS – Getting off Randall’s Island
We will have our own private BUS shuttling between Randall’s and Lexington Avenue and East 125th Street on the upper-east side of Manhattan from 1:00 P.M. through 5:00 P.M (after the finals). Please note that the reason this BUS does not go all the way to the tournament hotels is that, with NYC traffic being what it is, we would be able to have maybe 3 round trips total. So take advantage of the opportunity to explore the adventure that is the NYC Subway! (4/5/6 train is accessible at shuttle stop).
