2015/16 REVIEW Letter from the Co-Chairs

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR 2015-2016 REVIEW!

In the following pages, you will find a summary of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance’s most recent accomplishments, and the culmination of the work of the Alliance at the brink of our 25th anniversary – a milestone which fills us with gratitude, amazement, and pride.

If you are one of the millions of New Yorkers and others who visit the Island, year after year, you know that recent years have been transformative in terms of its fields, facilities, and scenic waterfront. In turn, we hope you may also have noted the joyful proliferation of Park programs. On most days in season, RIPA now offers something new for you to discover, from festivals at the Urban Farm to yoga along the waterfront, wetland activities at the Salt Marsh, fun runs at Icahn Stadium, garden tours, and more. Should you prefer to explore on your own, RIPA offers maps for walking and running, and field guides for touring the tidal wetlands, waterfront gardens, or Urban Farm. We continue to add visitor amenities, from Park basics like bicycle racks and picnic tables to innovations such as self-guided tours and free sunscreen dispensers. Whatever your interest, the Island welcomes you.

In the meantime, the Park’s beloved, renovated fields now require our careful attention once again: after years of enthusiastic play, they are beginning to show wear and tear. Among other efforts, in 2015-2016 we resurfaced three synthetic turf fields, including the premier Field 10, which also received upgraded team seating with covered benches. If you play on the Island, we hope you have had the chance to give these new surfaces a try. We must continue to invest in sustaining the excellent standards we have set, and herein lies our mission for the coming years. If you play, ride, walk, run, explore, or simply relax at Randall’s Island, we hope you will support us – by contributing, by volunteering, or by doing your part however you can – as we work to preserve what the Alliance has built over the past 25 years.

We thank you, our friends and supporters, for helping us to make Randall’s Island the backyard where so many New Yorkers come to play. We hope you love the Park, and treasure as do we its great beauty and huge capacity to welcome our diverse city to its shores. In the midst of three boroughs, beneath a much-traveled bridge, with views in all directions, Randall’s Island Park draws our city together and expands our horizons.

As RIPA enters its next quarter century, please join us in stewardship of Randall’s Island Park.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 SENIOR STAFF 4 President’s Introduction

This 2015-2016 Review is focused on the expansion of the activities RIPA provides at Randall’s Island Park, following a period of particularly rapid programmatic development. If you are a regular visitor, I hope you will recognize herein some of the new resources and amenities you have enjoyed over the past couple of years.

Annual offerings now range from school-based programs at the Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh and the Urban Farm to drop-in fun runs at Icahn Stadium, guided tours, free fitness programs and outdoor movie nights. Our neighbors know to expect nearly daily offerings, as well as our free weekend signature events beginning with RIPA’s spring Cherry Blossom Festival at the Urban Farm and followed by our Birding Bonanza, Great Randall’s Island Treasure Hunt, Harvest Festival, and Get Hooked! family fishing day along the Island’s southern shoreline, looking down the Manhattan waterfront. All of these make for a great Park experience.

Furthermore, it is very satisfying, as President of RIPA, to look back and note that much careful planning, and a strong collective vision, has brought us to this point. RIPA’s original Management, Restoration & Development Plan guided the successful development of the IAAF-certified Icahn Stadium, the 20-court Sportime Tennis Center; the renovated golf center; an Urban Farm; 20 acres of renovated natural areas and wetlands; nine miles of waterfront pathways; and dozens of irrigated and turf playing fields. By 2012, with these capital goals largely realized, the RIPA Board and staff undertook and adopted a 3-5 Year Strategic Plan for the renovated Park; key goals included improved access, capacity-building, and increased programming to make the most of the Island’s transformed resources.

This brings us to January of 2015, when RIPA issued our Programming Plan, geared toward ensuring that the Park’s newly-transformed resources were used well, in response to community needs and interests. The Plan called for increasingly site-specific, environmentally-responsive programs, as well as more drop- in events, especially on the weekends, to foster increased access, exercise, and healthier living for all New Yorkers, and especially for residents in adjacent neighborhoods. We also sought to identify ways the Island might welcome and encourage a range of unstructured uses, fostering visitor exploration through good wayfinding and responsive visitor amenities.

This Review, then, tells the story of RIPA’s enormous programmatic growth over the past two years. But it is also the story of more than two decades of planning and development. The more than 150 free programs offered in 2016 are both a testament to all that the Alliance has achieved together, and a celebration of the Island’s role as a unique and increasingly beloved oasis for all New Yorkers.

Please join us, and if you have a moment please don’t hesitate to tell us: what is your favorite thing to do at Randall’s Island Park, these days, and what would you like to see next?

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 PRESIDENT’S INTRODUCTION 5 Improved Park Access and Visitor Amenities

Two years ago, as RIPA laid out goals for expanded outreach and drop-in activities, we also outlined our commitment to increase opportunities for “unstructured recreation.” Many activities fall under this umbrella – from strolling to jogging, picnicking to fishing – but the central premise is that if RIPA lays out the access, provides visitor amenities, and keeps the Island beautiful, more and more of our neighbors will discover their own ways to enjoy the Park.

We created 3 new bus stops improving access to our Urban Farm and to the Park’s southern fields

Simply getting to and around the Island, easily, safely and appealingly, is of course the first step. In 2015, after years of work together, RIPA joined NYCEDC and NYC Parks to open – and to celebrate! – the first at-grade crossing from the Bronx, the “Randall’s Island Connector.” By 2016, RIPA had constructed and opened a new middle section of the Hell Gate Pathway, under the railroad trestle arches along the Park’s central spine and freshwater wetlands. Working with the Manhattan Borough President and MTA NYC Transit, we created three new bus stops, creating much-improved access to our Urban Farm and to the Park’s southern fields.

We installed over 30 maps RIPA also worked with City agencies, elected officials and local advocates and destination signs and to develop improved signage and striping guiding Park visitors through 60 location banners adjacent neighborhoods in East Harlem and the South Bronx. Finally, in aimed at non-vehicular 2015 under the leadership of a dedicated group of Board Members, RIPA travelers completed installation of our comprehensive Park system of over 30 maps and destination signs and 60 location banners aimed at non-vehicular travelers; RIPA’s maps and signage also now welcome visitors approaching the Island from access points on all three surrounding boroughs.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 IMPROVED PARK ACCESS AND VISITOR AMENITIES 6 Once at the Park, new amenities help to welcome these visitors, who are coming in ever-increasing numbers. For those who come on foot, and to encourage parking in our large central lots, RIPA now offers shuttle service during the Park’s busiest times, running along both northern and The Randall’s southern loops. To encourage the rapidly-increasing Island Connector number of cyclists who visit, RIPA has installed 30 provided the first at-grade bicycle racks over the past two years; counters at crossing from the Bronx, Park access points suggest significantly increased encouraging pedestrians bicycle commuting between surrounding boroughs. and cyclists to visit

Maps and bulletin boards can be found at all comfort stations, including a new station and snack bar opened along the Bronx Shore in 2015, and 20 A new comfort station new picnic tables welcome visitors. To ensure safe enjoyment of the Island’s and snack bar opened sunny fields and shoreline, we installed new security cameras and emergency along the Bronx Shore, and call boxes, as well as 25 free sunscreen dispensers – Randall’s Island was 20 new picnic tables the first park in New York City to offer this amenity. In addition to new use- welcome park visitors specific maps now available to download from the RIPA website – running maps, waterfront guides, urban farm guides – new on-site signage educates visitors about our wetlands and wildflower meadow sites and provides a scenic self-guided tour of the waterfront garden along the Harlem River shoreline.

New on-site signage educates visitors about our wetlands and wildflower meadow sites

All of these improvements have helped increase and encourage Island visitation, especially by our closest neighbors. It is an enormous pleasure to see walkers, runners, and cyclists wind along Park pathways, and to see the Island’s green lawns and breezy shoreline welcome family picnics, fishing enthusiasts, happy canines, and dreamers with a good book. RIPA’s goal is to ensure that Randall’s Island provides a treasured backyard park for neighbors in East Harlem, the South Bronx and Astoria, Queens.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 IMPROVED PARK ACCESS AND VISITOR AMENITIES 7 Increased and Diversified Public Programming and Community Outreach

In our last bi-annual review, we set forth our strategic plan for reconfiguration and expansion of RIPA’s free public programs. The blueprint for programmatic expansion was the product of a comprehensive process of research, evaluation 4. and planning executed by a Planning Team – a group of dedicated Board Augmented Members, staff and stakeholders. Among other things, the roadmap called for: Communication Establish regular communications with nearby communities in order to listen to, and to 1. understand, local needs Increased Free 3. and share our identity Public Events Expanded Volunteer and offerings Emphasize regularly-occurring, Opportunities healthy drop-in activities Expand the number of and and fun and educational events roles of volunteers, to increase support to our geared towards local communities, 2. public programs including signature events to Improved showcase the Island Youth Programs Reconfigure current programs to meet the needs of the community and maximize our impact

Today, RIPA’s free public programming has met or exceeded all the goals set forth only two short years ago. In 2016, the Alliance offered 195 free public events, representing 13x more events than in 2014. These included our signature events as well as new family-friendly outdoor movie nights, regularly reoccurring fitness classes featuring RIPA offered yoga, Zumba and running, and curated walking 195 free public tours of the Island. We also reconfigured our youth events, 13x programs to better serve local children. more events than in 2014

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 INCREASED AND DIVERSIFIED PUBLIC 8 PROGRAMMING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH The Waterfront Stewardship Program and Urban Farm Program received additional resources such as staff headcount, and in-class room lessons were added to compliment on-Island field trips, both of which resulted in more children being served. RIPA’s growing “Park-as-Lab” urban ecology program provided opportunities for students, investigators, and citizens to engage in collaborative on-site research on the Island’s wildlife, vegetation, water quality, and environmental health. The Alliance partnered with the City Parks Foundation to transform the Jesse Owens Track & Field Program to better meet the needs of the community; key improvements included hiring well- trained running staff, rescheduling the program to a time and location that better served local families, and complimenting these running classes with nutritional lessons from our Urban Farmers. RIPA’s Summer Camp, which passed a milestone of 20 years of operation, continued to provide nearly 7,000 children from local Community Based Organizations with quality sports and art programming.

The Alliance transformed the Jesse Owens Track & Field Program to better meet the needs of the community

All these free public programs have been supported by increased and regular communication with nearby communities and beyond. In April 2016, RIPA launched a new dynamic mobile-friendly website with detailed information for visitors on Park features and amenities, events, educational programs, directions and more. Our monthly e-newsletter recipients increased to nearly 12,000 and provided people with timely Park information. RIPA also strategically increased efforts to expand its social media platforms; in 2016, the Randall’s Island Park Facebook page reached 20,000 followers, which represented a 100% increase in one year.

RIPA launched a new dynamic mobile-friendly website with detailed information for visitors

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 INCREASED AND DIVERSIFIED PUBLIC 9 PROGRAMMING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH Beyond electronic outreach, RIPA produced a number of bilingual (English/ Spanish) hard copy brochures and guides highlighting our diverse events and attractions, which were dispensed on the Island as well as within local communities. This improved outreach resulted in greater awareness about Park offerings and increased attendance at RIPA events, and provided a channel for communication that helped RIPA better understand community needs and desires.

RIPA produced bilingual brochures and guides highlighting our diverse events and attractions

The increase and diversification in RIPA’s free public programs and community outreach could not have been achieved without the Alliance’s dedication to systematically and intentionally fulfilling the 2014 programming strategic plan. In the past two years, RIPA’s public programs budget was increased to $760K, an almost 20% increase, which was made possible through a dedicated Board of Trustees and reallocation of resources. These significant increases in resources, as well as other internal actions to become more efficient and specialized, enabled us to make the changes needed to produce the high quality programming offered at the Park today.

As we move beyond our organization’s 25th RIPA’s public programs anniversary year, RIPA’s commitment to free public budget was increased to programming and expanded community outreach $760K, an almost remains strong and well defined. We look forward 20% increase to serving Randall’s Island Park and those who cherish it for the next quarter century and beyond.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 INCREASED AND DIVERSIFIED PUBLIC 12 PROGRAMMING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH Expanded Capacity and Careful Stewardship

In 2015-2016, RIPA added exciting new amenities while working to responsibly maintain the Island’s treasured resources, including the Park’s dozens of playing fields and updated facilities. The Bronx Shore Fields area, opened in 2015, comprises three irrigated soccer fields, six softball fields, and two lighted baseball fields, as well a new waterfront pathway and amenities including benches, bleachers, water fountains and a comfort station with snack bar. While this grand opening completed RIPA’s transformation of the Park’s fields, earlier projects began to require upkeep; specifically, Field 10 was resurfaced in 2015 and Fields 90-91 in 2016.

Field 10 and Icahn Stadium received new sports lighting with LED fixtures,cutting energy use by 40%

Covered team seating was also installed at Field 10, and both the field and Icahn Stadium received new sports lighting with LED fixtures, cutting energy use by 40% and allowing for simultaneous evening events. The Stadium scoreboard came due for replacement in 2015, and was upgraded. In terms of the Island’s infrastructure, RIPA worked with NYC DEP and NYC DOT to fund and facilitate new gas and water service as well as extensive roadway repairs.

Such careful stewardship requires considerable outreach, fundraising and management. RIPA’s successes in the past two years have come in part due to a period of organizational growth and increased capacity in nearly all areas. Visibility has been expanded via exponentially increased Park programming, in-person outreach, and a robust social media presence, and our development staff and investment has grown as well.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 EXPANDED CAPACITY AND CAREFUL STEWARDSHIP 13 Several full-time positions were created in the past two years, especially to support new programming. RIPA staff worked to acquire valuable skills in response to growing Park needs: certification in arboriculture, in environmentally-sensitive pesticide application, and in irrigation maintenance and operation; training in climate change education and in environmental quality control and assurance; and professional development for our planning and legal staff. To augment visitor safety, ¼ of our on-site staff was trained and certified in CPR and first aid.

In the meantime, RIPA continued to expand partnerships and coordination with local advocacy groups, research institutions and program providers, bringing new support to the Park and sharing our expertise with others in the New York City community: in 2015-2016, RIPA staff provided training for local fishing programs; hosted a workshop on Board development for sister parks; assisted with wayfinding efforts in the South Bronx; and worked in support of East Harlem waterfront stewardship and programming as part of the NYC Every week our Parks Department’s Community Parks Initiative. crews collected and removed approximately 5 tons of garbage

We installed nearly 6,000 native wetland plants We hope that, as Park visitors, you agree that RIPA’s investments have paid off. Our dedicated staff works, day after day, to provide a green and inspiring backyard park for all New Yorkers. First of all, every week our crews collect and remove approximately 5 tons of garbage, left by happy Park visitors – so that the next group is welcomed by a clean and lovely spot, ready for another picnic, birthday party or ballgame. To keep the waterfront beautiful, in the past two years RIPA cleared about 5.5 tons of debris washed up along the Island’s shoreline, and cleared 12 tons of invasive species from its natural areas. Toward maintaining a healthy ecosystem and key habitat for the Park’s diverse wildlife – from killifish in the tidal salt marsh to monarch butterflies in the freshwater wetlands, and the great egrets that forage along its shores – we installed nearly 6,000 native wetland plants.

RANDALL’S ISLAND PARK ALLIANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2015/16 EXPANDED CAPACITY AND CAREFUL STEWARDSHIP 14 In our popular Urban Farm, we grew more than 230 different types of fruits and vegetables; added 12 new fruit trees, a rice education center, and a new greenhouse; and made 4200 pounds of compost. Also in 2015-2016, RIPA planted the Island’s many gardens with approximately 6,000 perennials and annuals, 53,000 spring bulbs and 17,000 herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.

This is your Park – your Island oasis – and it welcomes you, and all New Yorkers, to its scenic shores

Just adjacent to the Water’s Edge Garden, along the Harlem River, we added a new “stumpery garden” and winding, shady woodland trail. These improvements and many more continue to draw the Island’s neighbors to its shores and to inspire continued stewardship of its amazing resources.

Please take a moment, as you travel through the Island, whether strolling, jogging, cycling or rushing to your soccer game, to look around you and enjoy the beautiful setting: the green fields, shady trees, winding pathways and amazing views of our city, across the water in all directions. This is your Park – your Island oasis – and it welcomes you, and all New Yorkers, to its scenic shores.
