Travers Island, New York
Travers Island is a former island in
Hunter Island in New York City's Pelham Bay Park
. The narrow strip of water originally making it an island was eventually filled in, converting this tract into a peninsula.
Travers Island currently serves as the New York Athletic Club's summer home. Travers Island hosted the 1903, 1905, and 1906 USA Cross Country Championships.[4] The former island is named after William R. Travers, a longtime President of NYAC.
