For years, Bronxites had to drive to Randall’s island, which is a stone’s throw away from Port Morris. After countless meetings and activism, construction on the $6 million dollar pathway began in 2013. In the fall of 2015, the connector was completed and opened to the public, finally giving locals in The Bronx direct access to Randall’s Island.

Bike, jog or walk along the quarter mile-long pedestrian pathway and spend time on the island that plays hosts to the Governor’s Ball and Electric Zoo. On non-event days, have a picnic, play softball or golf.
