I used to have a cache at this location under another name but it was muggled too many times and I couldn't figure another placement for the cache where it would work again until now. Being a 9-11 memorial spot, I thought it was too important an area to not have a geocache so this is attempt number two after a few years since the original cache was taken off.
From the memorial website:
The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance in MCU (formerly KeySpan ) Park stands as a graceful and beautiful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th, 2001. Comprised of 3 30 x 12 foot granite walls, the Coney Island memorial contains the laser-engraved images of 346 Firefighters, 37 Port Authority Officers, 23 NYC Police Officers, 3 NYS Officers, 1 Fire Patrol, First responders and 1 K-9 Rescue dog named Sirius. Touched by the magnitude of their sacrifice, Brooklyn-born and raised Sol Moglen conceived of the idea for a memorial . On the Wall, their portraits form a powerful, unforgettable testament, eloquently spoken, reminding us these are real people behind the names and numbers of September 11.
MCU Park- home of the Brooklyn Cyclones- is the perfect setting for the Wall of Remembrance; Coney Island is a historic and beloved site along the ocean. Families come here for comfort, not for grief. To hear the sound of children laughing, feel the sun’s warmth and listen to the quiet voice of the ocean. It was fitting that New York City’s first memorial to 9/11 would be here, in Brooklyn. Fully a third of the responders who died on 9/11 either lived or worked in the Borough. Since its inception, the Wall of Remembrance has become recognized for its beautiful and meaningful tribute to these men and women. Remembering is our responsibility and learning from them is our honor.
Also of note at this area is the Coney Island Parachute Jump. It has been called the "Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn". It was built for the 1939 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, and moved to its current site, then part of the Steeplechase Park amusement park, in 1941. It is the only portion of Steeplechase Park still standing today. The ride ceased operations in 1968. The structure is visible from along the Brooklyn shore as far as Bay Ridge.
