What is Coney Island? Coney Island is a great amusement park. It is on a beach and lots of things happen there. You can swim and build sand castles. You can ride on the different park rides. You can even eat at Nathan's. The most important thing in Coney Island is having a opening beach ceremony. Also, it is a great place to visit.

How did Coney Island affect the New York that we live in today? Coney Island impacts life in New York because people can have fun and go to the beach to swim. Tourist visit Coney Island and have fun there too. When summer comes, a lot of families visit Coney Island. They see what is going on and try new things like eating different foods. My parents work in Coney Island. When summer is over, we get a lots of money and spend it on school supplies and books. Now we can learn how to read and write.
