Details

An official Path Through History Site! As far back as 1824, Coney Island in Brooklyn was one of the nation's most popular playgrounds. By the time amusement parks joined the scene and the subway brought city dwellers to Coney's shoreline, a summer day's attendance could reach one million people. The fun continues today with Coney's beach, boardwalk, Luna Park amusement park, historic Cyclone roller coaster, and MCU Park, the home of the New York Mets' farm team, the Brooklyn Cyclones.
