Recreational Routes
Our Pathways
Enjoy a pleasant walk, run, or bike ride on Randall’s Island Park’s miles of waterfront and garden-lined pathways. The wide pathways, which are paved and primarily flat, are free from cars, trucks, and buses.
Whether you take one of the suggested routes below, explore on your own with our Run-Walk-Bike guide, or join us for a recreational program – you are bound to enjoy your experience.
Along with bicycles, e-bikes and e-scooters are allowed on the park’s shared-use pathways. No other motorized vehicles or devices are allowed on the pathways.
What are e-bikes and e-scooters?
An e-bike is a bicycle that has a motor powered by a battery. E-bikes can take many forms but generally look like a traditional bicycle with pedals and handlebars.
An e-scooter is a mobility device with a motor powered by a battery. E-scooters weigh less than 100 lbs and have handlebars and a floorboard that you stand on, or they can have a seat.
