Preserve Randall's Island Fields 82-85 for NYC Children

Save our soccer fields

This is abhorrent. Please do not destroy the randals island soccer fields. These are the property of the children of taxpayers not the illegals immigrant service industrial complex.

Please find another way to support migrants and asylum-seekers without robbing our children of their playing fields.

Please reserve this for our children who are not illegal.

Please find alternate solutions. Kids in NYC need more open space not less.

there is a lot next to the new google building that could be used.

This is totally insane unacceptable and should not be allowed to move forward. Although I feel for the Asylum Seekers taking away space dedicated to the use of this city is not the way to handle this problem mayor Adams should rethink this the city council should rethink this and leave Randall's Island to the kids that it was designed to service.

Not comment

Children should not be last priority & first to lose out on recreational & health spaces. There is a mental health crisis for young kids and this is exactly why. Shame on Eric Adams.

Preserve Randall's Island Fields 82-85 for NYC Children

My two grandsons, 8 and 10, play sports on Randall’s Island after school almost every day. It is really important to them and important for them and other children to have this healthy outlet, particularly living in apartments in NYC. Please do not take this away from so many children.

Simply—- there are other spaces to use in New York other than a facility that kids use to grow, learn and explore opportunities. Don’t be lazy—Find another location

Please preserve the outdoor fields

There are other spaces available even on Randall's Island that don't require taking away recreational spaces. Let's be more creative in our problem solving.

Keep the fields accessible to children

We barely have enough field space as it is for kids in the city, we cannot take more space away from them.

Helping others cannot be at the expense of our childrens wellbeing. In a time where screens are becoming their own pandemic and kids need to maintain fitness and discipline to develop healthy lifestyle habits, we cannot be eliminating precious field space. The city needs to push back on other agencies and states and not expect our children to make yet another sacrifice.

Stop this nonsense already!!

We can’t take away physical-activity away from children… our children need to come first

Not only are you taking our fields, you are potentially threatening our safety.
