Map of Liberty City with a red circle to highlight Charge Island.

Charge Island is a small island, officially part of the borough of Dukes in the Humboldt River, lying between Algonquin to the west, Dukes to the east, and Bohan to the north. Much of the island is in the shadow of the East Borough Bridge which connects the three boroughs. It is based on Randall's and Ward's islands. They have toll booths that the player must go through, in order to go north to bohan, or west to algonquin. driving through the toll booth without stopping, will automatically result with one star added to the players wanted level (assuming they are not wanted prior to.)

Charge Island is almost entirely dedicated to industrial activity, the enormous East Borough Bridge and sewage treatment facility making it decidedly unappealing for residential development; in addition to the abovementioned bridge foundations and sewage works, the island features a boathouse, cargo dock and fuel repository, with an oil tanker docked there at the time of GTA IV. The island is featured twice in the game's story, in the missions Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend and Catch the Wave.

There is also a baseball field in the northern part, which is identical to the one in Meadows Park.

Charge Island is based on Ward's and Randall's Island.
