Abstract

Randall’s Island is considered a haven to New York City sports enthusiasts. With more than 270 acres of public parkland, residents from nearby Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, can enjoy scenic waterfront views, practice their golf swing at the driving range, or watch world-class athletes compete, like Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt, at Icahn Stadium.
