H F Redmond Junior Memorial Park

I've been to/played at almost every field in NYC except this one. Driven by several times but hidden behind a tree line. Exceptional large field. Two instructional Peewee soccer games and a flag football game for MS kids(?) and still barely covered half the fields. Only negative i can think of is lack of shade and seating

Updaye July 2024: There is activity on the playing field. I confirmed with the city that you need a permit for access as it is fully fenced and normally kept locked. I think they have soccer and Gaelic football teams. Update Jan 2024: You can now drive into the park and use the parking lot by the county rail trail. You can use the picnic grounds (Pavilion & grills); however, a permit is required. The adjacent bathrooms are NOT normally open but they will open them with the permit. They are doing some construction inside the grass field area - which is currently closed to the public. I believe they may be putting in the playing field lighting. Status as of July 2023: Redmond field is still under renovation and not yet open to the public. There will no longer be softball fields. I believe they will have a Celtic football field enclosed by fencing and Stadium type lighting. You must have a city permit to play on those fields. I believe the other areas of the park will be open to the public once the field is finished. There is a renovated, Pavilion picnic area with grills for use by permit only. There are also new bathrooms; however, these are not generally left open unless the field or picnic area is rented. The two pictures posted were from a city meeting and are the artist rendering of the plan.

This is used for Gaelic football. Park is nice.

Just put a all new pavilion in,looks great can't wait for it to open,should be before memorial day 2019

The park itself is amazing. The people that come there and sit in their cars are not. I would say definitely worth the visit. Lots of pups and pup parents. Mostly all responsible besides those that do not pick up after their pets. So I guess the nature part is beautiful the people that trash it not so much.
