Randall’s Island Field #40

The Randall’s Island Field #40 is a baseball field on the island’s southeastern edge, bordered by Sunken Meadow Loop. The concrete backstop frames the infield, making it easy to track plays from the stands. A single dirt path leads from the parking area to the dugouts, and the baselines cut sharp angles behind home plate. Players arrive early to warm up on the infield grass, while spectators claim folding chairs along the third-base line. The field’s dimensions accommodate youth leagues and pickup games alike, with a clear view of the East River beyond left field. A chain-link fence runs along the perimeter, separating the diamond from the surrounding park paths and picnic areas.

Visitors can reach the field by taking the footbridge from 103rd Street or parking along the service road if space allows. Groundskeepers keep the infield groomed, though the outfield can get uneven after rainy spells. Call ahead to confirm field availability before heading out—*646-588-2032*.
