⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC : Coney Island Boardwalk from Brighton Beach to Sea Gate (Early Morning)

Google Maps Route: https://goo.gl/maps/iDUK4cL1Hyd4BSZL7

I walk the entirety of the Riegalmann Boardwalk (Coney Island Boardwalk) from Brighton Beach to Sea Gate.

From Wikipedia:
"The Riegelmann Boardwalk, commonly known as the Coney Island Boardwalk, is a boardwalk located along the southern shore of the Coney Island peninsula in Brooklyn, New York City, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean.

The boardwalk stretches for 2.7 miles from West 37th Street at the border of Coney Island and Sea Gate to Ocean Parkway in Brighton Beach. Many of its most famous amusement parks no longer exist, but the boardwalk still hosts the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster and the Wonder Wheel Ferris wheel, as well as the New York Aquarium. The more recent MCU Park is home to the minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones baseball team. In 2016, a live performance venue, the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island, opened on the boardwalk.

The Riegelmann Boardwalk has a steel and concrete foundation supporting wood planking for the walkway. Restroom facilities, benches, and water fountains are located along its length. The boardwalk was built using 1,700,000 cubic yards (1,300,000 m3) of sand, 120,000 short tons (110,000 long tons) of stone, 7,700 cubic yards (5,900 m3) reinforced concrete, and 3,600,000 feet (1,100,000 m) of timber flooring.

A boardwalk along the southern shore of Coney Island, between West 37th and West 5th Streets, had been proposed as early as 1901. However, the city did not formalize these plans until 1921. The first section of the Coney Island Boardwalk, comprising the eastern section between Ocean Parkway and West 5th Street, opened in October 1922. The boardwalk was extended westward to West 17th Street in December 1922, and the entirety of the boardwalk to West 37th Street was officially opened on May 15, 1923. The boardwalk had been named after Edward J. Riegelmann, the Brooklyn Borough President at the time of its opening.

In 1938, the responsibility of maintaining the Riegelmann Boardwalk was transferred to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, which subsequently renovated the boardwalk. Subsequently, New York City Parks Commissioner Robert Moses announced plans to expand the boardwalk eastward, to just west of Corbin Place in Brighton Beach, by incorporating another 18 acres (7.3 ha) within Brighton Beach. This 1,950-foot-long (590 m) expansion allowed NYC Parks to add capacity for 50,000 more beachgoers along the Coney Island Beach. As part of the renovations, a 2-foot (0.61 m) covering of sand was placed along the entirety of the beachfront.

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade has taken place along the Riegelmann Boardwalk since 1983. "The First Symphony of the Sea", a 322-foot (98 m) wall relief created by Japanese artist Toshio Sasaki, was installed along the boardwalk in 1993. It is located on the exterior of the New York Aquarium.

As of 2010, the city was renovating the boardwalk: some sections were receiving new wood planking over concrete supports, while others were being replaced entirely with concrete, which has a lower maintenance cost."
