City’s Valentine’s gift to Coney Island: Renovated Asser Levy Park
Calling it “one of the hidden gems of Coney Island,” City Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver came to Asser Levy Park on Thurs., Feb. 14 to lead a ribbon-cutting ceremony unveiling a new version of the popular recreation space following a $4.75 million renovation project.
“What could be a sweeter Valentine’s Day gift than cutting the ribbon on the beautiful renovations at Asser Levy Park? The park is one of the hidden gems of Coney Island, and thanks to these improvements, it has been renewed for generations to come,” Silver said in a statement.
Asser Levy Park, a 21-acre recreation space known for its famous bandshell, is located at 302 Sea Breeze Ave., near the Coney Island Boardwalk.
