Randall’s Island Park’s Repository
The data repository for Randall’s Island Park serves as a resource hub – a compilation of the ecological and environmental monitoring and assessments performed on the island by the Alliance’s staff and community collaborators. Through this repository, researchers, students and community members can access detailed data sets, reports, and analyses, facilitating further research questions, informed decision-making, and strategic planning.
Randall’s Island Park staff and partners from the East River Ichthyological Alliance, a community science network of NYC organizations, educators, and anglers studying fish in the East River, worked with the public to catch, measure, and release fish during clinics. Data collected from this survey will help build a database of information about fish in the East River.

RIPA staff grew five hybrid brassica varieties alongside adjacent open-pollinated brassica varieties, developed in partnership with Dr. Phillip Griffiths from Cornell CALS, on Randall’s Island Urban Farm. All ten varieties were harvested and prepared for the public to provide feedback on taste, texture, and overall quality. The results of this study will help farmers evaluate which varieties to grow in the future.
