New York City has just designated Coney Island boardwalk as a Scenic Landmark in honor of its 95th birthday on Tuesday. Opened in 1923, the promenade is now 2.7 miles long.
The spot, which has drawn both locals and tourists with its sandy beaches, eateries and amusement park rides for over a century, has undergone many changes over the years. According to the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, sections of the boardwalk have seen been redone in concrete, wood and recycled plastic.
Commission Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan said: “It is a beloved public space that embodies Coney Island’s demographic spirit and reflects our city’s values of tolerance, inclusivity and equity.”
Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver added “Coney Island’s boardwalk is a timeless treasure. With it’s rich history, I am confident that with this designation, it will stand and serve this city and its visitors for hundreds of years to come.”
