Ford Amphitheatre is the newest addition at the several well-known amusement parks near Coney Island, Brooklyn. Opened in 2016, it was earlier known as the Boardwalk Amphitheatre, and is an ideal entertainment destination for music concerts, sporting events, recreational and cultural occasions. The Ford Amphitheatre is an outdoor open-air theatre, and is the first of its kind with steel canopy roof covering, with a performance stage, and has a seating capacity of 5,000 people. The seating is arranged in 3-tiers, from the closest to the farthest from the stage, and provides a spacious community area for public gatherings.ย
The amphitheater is surrounded by a seaside park, the boardwalk, and the Coney Island, centered around a one-acre area of park space for public use.
