Randalls and Wards Islands (original) (raw)
- Las Islas Randalls y Wards (nombre original en inglés: Randalls and Wards Islands), denominación que agrupa la isla Randalls (también llamada Randall's Island) y la Isla Wards, pertenecen al distrito de Manhattan de Nueva York. Están separadas de Manhattan por el río Harlem; de Queens por el East River y por el Hell Gate; y desde el Bronx por el Bronx Kill. Las dos islas estaban originalmente separadas por completo entre sí, con la isla Randalls al norte de la isla Wards. Sin embargo, el canal situado entre ambas, Little Hell Gate, se rellenó con tierra a principios de los años 1960. Una tercera isla más pequeña, Sunken Meadow, estaba ubicada al este de Randalls y se conectó a ella en 1955. La isla tenía en 2010 una población de 1648 habitantes, que viven en una superficie de 2,09 km². La mayor parte de la isla es un parque, que abarca un total de 175 ha. Estos parques ofrecen campos de atletismo, un campo de prácticas de golf, vías verdes, áreas de juego y campos de pícnic. La isla también tiene un largo historial de ser utilizada para localizar asilos, hospitales y cementerios, y actualmente alberga varias instalaciones públicas, incluidos dos hospitales psiquiátricos, una estación de policía estatal, una academia de bomberos, una planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales y varios refugios para personas sin hogar. La isla está atravesada por los puentes de Triborough y Hell Gate. Se puede llegar a la isla por el puente de Triborough; el puente de Wards Island, para peatones y ciclistas y que une la isla con East Harlem en Manhattan; o por el Randalls Island Connector, un puente peatonal y ciclista que cruza el Bronx Kill y se conecta con el vecindario de Port Morris en el Bronx. Randalls Island es el hogar de tres festivales de música: el Governors Ball Music Festival , el Panorama Music Festival y el Electric Zoo Festival. (es)
- Randalls Island (sometimes called Randall's Island) and Wards Island are conjoined islands, collectively called Randalls and Wards Islands, in New York County, New York City, separated from Manhattan Island by the Harlem River, from Queens by the East River and Hell Gate, and from the Bronx by the Bronx Kill. The two islands were formerly separated, with Randalls Island to the north of Wards Island. The channel between them, Little Hell Gate, was infilled by the early 1960s. A third, smaller island, Sunken Meadow Island, was located east of Randalls Island and was connected to it in 1955. The island had a population of 1,648 living on 2.09 square kilometers (520 acres) in 2010. Most of the island is parkland, spanning a total of 432.69 acres (175.10 ha), and managed by Randall's Island Park Alliance. The park offers 91 athletic fields, a driving range, greenways, playgrounds and picnic grounds. The island also has a history of being used for asylums, hospitals, and cemeteries, and is currently home to several public facilities, including a psychiatric hospital known as the Manhattan Psychiatric Center, Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center a Drug and Alcohol Treatment facility named Odyssey House, a daycare, 2 state police stations, FDNY fire academy, a DEP wastewater treatment plant, Icahn Stadium, HELP Clarke Thomas Mens Homeless Shelter, Keener Employment Homeless Mens Shelter, Schwartz Homeless Mens Shelter, HELP USA Supportive Employment Center, and an Urban Farm. Outside of these institutions and buildings, there is no residential housing for the general public on the island. The island is crossed by the Triborough and Hell Gate bridges. The island can be reached by the Triborough Bridge; the Wards Island Bridge, which serves pedestrians and bicyclists and links the island to East Harlem in Manhattan; or by the Randalls Island Connector, a pedestrian and cycling bridge crossing the Bronx Kill and connecting to the Port Morris neighborhood of the Bronx. Randalls Island is the home of three music festivals: Governors Ball Music Festival, Panorama Music Festival, and Electric Zoo Festival. (en)
- Randalls and Wards Islands is een eiland in New York. Het ligt in de East River en maakt deel uit van Manhattan. Het is in het westen van Manhattan afgesplitst door de loop van de Harlem, ligt ten oosten van Queens en ten zuiden van The Bronx. Oorspronkelijk waren er meerdere eilanden: Randall's Island, Sunken Meadow Island en Ward's Island. De twee grootste, Randall's en Ward's waren van mekaar gescheiden door wat de Little Hell Gate genoemd werd.In de vroege jaren zestig werd de Little Hell Gate gedempt. Dat de eilanden ooit gescheiden waren door water is enkel nog zichtbaar door de kleine inhammen ter hoogte van de vroegere locatie van de Little Hell Gate. Randall's Island was het meest noordelijke van de twee eilanden, en dus het dichtst bij The Bronx waarvan het gescheiden was door de Bronx Kill. Ward's Island was het zuidelijke van de twee eilanden, gelegen tussen Little Hell Gate en Hell Gate wat het scheidt van Queens. In het noordoosten was er zelfs een klein derde eiland, Sunken Meadow Island, dat in 1955 na demping van de waterscheiding met Randall's Island werd verbonden. In 2010 had Randalls and Wards Islands een bevolking van 1.648 inwoners die op een gebied leefden van 2,2 km², wat neerkomt op 749 bewoners per km². (nl)
