Randall’s Island

Over the course of each year we provide portable restrooms for many events held on Randall’s Island.  Music festivals, running events, and even the Quidditch World Cup (Any Harry Potter fans?).

For those of you who don’t know, “Randall's Island is situated in the East River in New York City, part of the borough of Manhattan. It is separated from Manhattan island on the west by the river's main channel, from Queens on the east by the Hell Gate, and from the Bronx on the north by the Bronx Kill. It is joined to Wards Island on the south by a landfill, the site of former Little Hell Gate”

Per Wikipedia, “Randall's Island Sports Foundation (RISF) was founded in 1992 as a public-private partnership to work on behalf of Randall's Island Park. The Foundation, in conjunction with City leadership, works to develop sports and recreational facilities, restore its natural environment, reclaim and maintain parkland, and sponsor programs for children. RISF's signature facility on Randall's Island, Icahn Stadium, was opened on April 23, 2005.The Stadium, a world-class track & field facility, is capable of hosting local, regional and national events.

66 fields will be available following redevelopment and will accommodate a greater variety of sports, including football, lacrosse, field hockey, and rugby amongst the sports already played at the Park, soccer, baseball and softball. The project will help satisfy demand for playing fields by the City's youth and adult leagues. The City's total ball field inventory will increase by 5% and Manhattan's inventory will increase by approximately 30%.”

Basically this means that Randall’s Island is a fantastic place to enjoy the outdoors while still being in Manhattan! 

We had a delivery there yesterday and I thought I would share some of the pictures with you, since it is THAT pretty!
