About City Island

City Island is a mile-long island in the Susquehanna River, reached on foot from downtown Harrisburg by the Walnut Street Bridge or by car over the Market Street Bridge. FNB Field is home to the Harrisburg Senators, who play in spring and summer. Families can ride a small steam train around the island, take the antique carousel or play 18 holes at Water Golf. Parking in the North Lot is free on weekends, with a $5 charge on Senators game days and some events.
