Steeplechase Pier

Coney Island.

Steeplechase Park, like Dreamland before it, was one of the great amusement parks of Coney Island. The feature attraction was the Steeplechase Ride, a horse race that circled the Pavilion of Fun. A series of accidents, rivaling factions within the Tilyou family, who owned the park, and a rise in crime led to the park’s closure in 1964. As far as we know, this submerged pier is all that remains of the park.
