Starlight Park, the Bronx, June 1921. Opened in 1918, Starlight Park had everything Coney had—bathing pavillions, a shooting gallery, a 15,000-seat stadium for the circus and other events, even a roller coaster. “It had a big swimming pool with a sort of observation veranda alongside, a sandy ‘beach’ and lockers by the day or season,” said a letter to the NY Times in 1995. The park even sponsored a little culture for the masses, in the form of opera and big band shows. The stadium was home to the New York Giants soccer team, and a popular venue for amateur boxing and auto races. It was closed in 1932.
