Coney Island

Coney Island sits on the southern edge of Brooklyn along the Atlantic, anchored by a three‑mile beach, the historic Riegelmann Boardwalk, Luna Park, Deno’s Wonder Wheel, the New York Aquarium, and the Brooklyn Cyclones’ ballpark. The vibe is classic seaside fun with a busy transit hub at Stillwell Avenue and steady traffic along Surf Avenue and Ocean Parkway, especially on warm weekends. The toughest places to find a space are closest to the boardwalk and rides, around West 8th to West 21st Streets, and near the aquarium entrance. Off‑street options include the official lot by Maimonides Park and the aquarium’s paid lot, while metered street parking is available in the wider neighborhood.

Know that New York City is a tow‑away zone and local rules apply, including meters, no‑standing areas, fire hydrant clearance, and alternate‑side regulations, so always read signs carefully. To save time and reduce stress, book a spot in advance and plan your arrival route, since traffic queues on Surf Avenue can build quickly near lot entrances. Whether you are here for beach time, the amusement parks, or a game, reserving parking in Coney Island helps you spend more time enjoying the neighborhood and less time circling. Before you go, check updated and official sources for hours, prices, and regulations.
