Coney Island is a peninsula,
formerly an island, in southernmost Brooklyn, USA, with a beach on
the Atlantic Ocean. The area was a major resort and site of
amusement parks that reached its peak in the early 20th century. It
declined in popularity after World War II and endured years of
neglect. In recent years, the area has been revitalized by the
opening of KeySpan Park, home to the successful Brooklyn Cyclones
minor league baseball team.
