Coney Island’s Seaside Park Amphitheater to Feature Membrane
Sometimes the best way to replace a deserted historic landmark is with a new community-centered space. The Seaside Park and Community Arts Center is a new development aimed at making Coney Island, New York, more of a year-round destination.
The estimated $53 million project will include an entertainment complex and public park that will be housed in the empty landmarked space that was once home to the historic Childs Restaurant, one of the country’s first restaurant chains, which flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. The Seaside Park will include a 5,000-seat outdoor amphitheater which will be topped with a PVC membrane roofing system.
