MCU Park

New York City


The minor-league baseball team Brooklyn Cyclones, part of the New York–Penn League and interborough rivals of the Staten Island Yankees, plays at this beachside park just off Coney Island boardwalk.

Nearly every game has some sort of fun theme, like Seinfeld or 'princess and pirate,' and warm summer evenings here can feel quite magical.
