City backs Rockaway Park seashore park project
The Metropolitan Park and Playground Association voted to recommend city acquisition of about 250 acres at Rockaway Beach with one mile of shorefront to create a seashore park. A convalescent hospital and a bone tuberculosis clinic may be built. $250,000 is available. A planned Dreamland purchase at Coney Island was deemed impracticable due to $3 to $7.5 million costs. Jacob Riis will chair a public-interest subcommittee to organize a Cooper Union meeting soon.
