Never known as an Amusement Park but it has been New York Cities largest Park and various attractions have existed over the years. There has been an operating Carousel and one still operating to this day. Click above image to go to their website.



The fourth Carousel to exist on this site. The present one was discovered by the Parks Department abandoned in the old trolley terminal on Coney Island.

There has been a carousel in operation at this location since 1871. The original carousel was powered by a blind horse and mule. The current carousel was manufactured in 1908 by the Stein and Goldstein Company of Brooklyn, for a trolley terminal outside of Coney Island. The carousel was moved to its present location when a fire destroyed the previous one in the fall of 1950. This carousel features the largest hand carved figures ever constructed. The outside horses are 3/4 the size of an actual horse. A Ruth Sohn band organ playing a Wurlitzer 150 music roll provides the music and is original to the Carousel. To this day the Carousel and its figures are hand painted.
