Description
By the 1940s, bicycling had an established position alongside other recreational activities in the pantheon of park offerings. A press release from 1944 noted, “In the case of bicycling, the sport has risen in the past few years from comparative obscurity into the spot it holds to–day as one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation.” By that year there were 29 bicycle paths in the parks, the largest of which were located at Central Park in Manhattan, in Prospect Park and along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, in Van Cortlandt Park and along the Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx, in Alley Pond Park and along Cross Island Boulevard in Queens, and in Silver Lake Park in Staten Island. The boardwalks at Coney Island in Brooklyn, Rockaway Beach in Queens, and South Beach in Staten Island were also open for bicycling until 1:00 p.m. Monday through Fri Cross Island Boulevard in Queens, days and until 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
