Coney Island: Brooklyn's Boardwalk and Amusement Legacy
Coney Island occupies the western end of a peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean at the southern tip of Brooklyn. Population is around 60,000. The neighborhood was one of the earliest major American beach resorts in the late 19th century, when three major amusement parks (Steeplechase, Luna Park, and Dreamland) operated simultaneously along the boardwalk.
The Cyclone wooden roller coaster, opened in 1927, is a New York City Landmark and National Historic Landmark. The Wonder Wheel, a 1920 steel Ferris wheel with swinging cars, is also a city landmark. The current Luna Park, opened in 2010, incorporates several of the historic rides along with newer ones. The annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, held on July 4 since the 1970s, draws national broadcast coverage.
The boardwalk, 2.7 miles long, runs from Sea Gate at the western tip east to Brighton Beach. The New York Aquarium, operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society, sits along the boardwalk. MCU Park hosts the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league baseball affiliate of the Mets.
