MAPPING CONEY ISLAND

This summer, we launched our new map of the Coney Island Amusement Area to address a clear need: many tourists and even seasoned New Yorkers don’t know the extent of amusements, restaurants and activities down at Coney Island, or how to navigate the amusement area.

We published a short print-run of 1000 maps to demonstrate just how valuable a free visitor map could be – and it was very well received.

In an effort to showcase Coney Island as the Playground of the World and draw attention to Coney Island’s endangered historic legacy, Save Coney Island teamed up with designer Naomi Donabedian to create a map that has all of the local attractions, a calendar of events, a brief history of Coney Island, and a summary of the current state of development in your favorite amusement destination.

Next summer, we plan to distribute a far larger number of maps. We are currently developing a distribution plan and identifying potential funding sources to print the map.
