Neighbors are concerned that the existing “quiet oasis with a modest bandshell” will be disturbed by what would become the city’s largest amphitheater in a public park.\u00a0 The 9-acre park’s location as a buffer between Coney Island’s famous boardwalk and nearby residential neighborhoods pits the locals’ need for peace and quiet against a broad desire for “a Coney Island entertainment district that will restore the wider area to glory.”<\/p>\n

Although the recently-updated NYC Noise Control Code does not itself restrict amplified sound at public, non-commercial performances, opponents of the project may have found a weapon in the city’s permitting rules\u2014which may prohibit permits for sound devices within 500′ of a church during services.\u00a0 With a synagogue across the street from the park, this could preclude use of the amphitheater during Friday night and Saturday service\u2014a potentially prohibitive restriction for a facility that aims to draw top entertainers.<\/p>\n
