The best way to get to Randall’s Island Park by subway is to take the 4, 5, or 6 train to 125th Street and Lexington Avenue. From there you have two options:

WALK: Once you exit the subway station, walk 2 BLOCKS east on 125th street towards the RFK bridge. Make a left on 2nd Avenue. Cross the street at 126th. Take walkway to Randall’s Island.
SHUTTLE BUS (FREE): Catch bus from E. 125th Street, between Madison and Park Aves (south curb lane).
MTA BUS: Catch an M35 “RANDALLS IS WARDS IS” bus from 125th Street and Lexington Avenue. There are typically 4-5 buses per hour. A Metrocard is required to board, and can be purchased in the train station. Once you get to Randall’s Island, get off at the Icahn Stadium stop.
RIDESHARE/TAXI (DROP-OFF ONLY!): Destination: 10 Central Road New York, NY 10035 (Icahn Stadium)

THERE IS NO PARKING AVAILABLE ON RANDALL’S ISLAND.

All vehicles, including taxis, are allowed on the island ONLY for drop-offs and pick-ups. That said, you are welcome to take a ride share car service to the festival!

DROP OFF

Enter 10 Central Road New York, NY 10035 (Icahn Stadium) as your destination. There will be traffic cones indicating where taxis should drop you off.

PICK UP (IMPORTANT)

We strongly recommend walking back across the bridge after the festival. It will be hard to get a taxi from Randall’s Island. Most ride share services may not pick up from the island, so there may not be any available if you call from the festival. So first walk back to Manhattan, Bronx or Queens, then call from there.

DO NOT DRIVE TO RANDALL’S ISLAND

THERE IS NO PARKING

You can drive to get close to the RFK bridge in Manhattan, then park in Manhattan (there is a large garage called “East River Plaza Garage” at E. 116th Street between Pleasant Ave and FDR Drive. Or find parking on the street somewhere else in East Harlem. Then walk to 125th Street and Lexington Avenue to take the footbridge across the RFK Bridge. You can also park in Queens or the Bronx near the RFK bridge, and take the footbridges from there, but we recommend coming from Manhattan.

FOR DROP-OFFS ON THE ISLAND:

If you’re being dropped off by a rideshare or a friend, use “10 Central Road New York, NY 10035” as the destination. There they can drop you off. There is no parking on Randall’s Island.
