Today is an historic day for Coney Island. The famous Riegelmann Boardwalk is celebrating their 95th anniversary while simultaneously becoming a New York City landmark.

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) unanimously declared the boardwalk a Scenic Landmark in recognition of its cultural and historical significance. Since opening on May 15, 1923 the waterfront promenade has been one of the best-known in the world, providing access to the beach and amusements.

“The Coney Island [Riegelmann] Boardwalk is as much a part of the culture as it is a part of the history of New York City,” said Landmarks Preservation Commission Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan in a release. “It is a beloved public space that embodies Coney Island’s democratic spirit and reflects our City’s values of tolerance, inclusivity and equity.”

Named in honor of former Brooklyn Borough President Edward J. Riegelmann, who played a leading role in its creation, the boardwalk was part of an ambitious municipal plan to rejuvenate the Coney Island neighborhood and provide the opportunity for people of all economic and social backgrounds to freely enjoy the seaside and beach activities for the first time in New York City.

“For 95 years and counting, the Riegelmann Boardwalk has offered children and families from Brooklyn and beyond a pathway to the carnival of Coney Island, connecting generations of memories,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in a release. “The same wooden walkway that inspired artists as diverse as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Beyoncé still inspires millions of people who enjoy its unique character.”

Scenic landmark designation will protect the boardwalk’s presence along the beachfront and preserve this iconic site for the years to come. The Wonder Wheel, Parachute Jump, and Cyclone are also landmarked in Coney Island.
