Maimonides Park, Baseball stadium in Coney Island, Brooklyn, United States
Maimonides Park is a baseball stadium in Coney Island with approximately 7,000 seats and a grass field featuring natural dirt in the pitcher's mound and home plate areas. The facility sits just behind the boardwalk and provides straightforward amenities for players and spectators alike.
The stadium opened in 2001 and brought professional baseball back to Brooklyn after the sport had been absent for decades. It allowed the borough to reconnect with its deep baseball heritage in a new way.
The stadium serves as home to the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league team that draws fans throughout the season and regularly hosts local high school tournaments. The compact seating arrangement brings spectators close to the action, creating an informal and friendly environment typical of smaller baseball venues.
The venue is easily accessible by the D, F, N, or Q subway lines, with Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station located just two blocks away. Parking is available in the area, though public transit remains the most practical option for most visitors.
The outfield provides direct views of the Atlantic Ocean, with the historic Parachute Jump tower visible from many seats throughout the stadium. This connection between baseball and one of the city's oldest amusement destinations creates a memorable setting rarely found in modern sports venues.
