Shore Boulevard Mall is a waterfront promenade extending for nearly a mile along the southern bank ofSheepshead Bay in theManhattan Beach neighborhood ofBrooklyn, New York.
Residential development began in the area in 1907, following the decline of local racetracks and hotels.[1] Along the northern side of the Manhattan Beach peninsula, Shore Boulevard was constructed in 1907 in a manner resembling a parkway, with a wide shoulder along the water's edge containing rows of trees and a pedestrian path with benches overlooking Sheephead Bay.[2]
At the eastern tip of Manhattan Beach,Kingsborough Community College occupies the former site of a United States Coast Guard station; while the western end of Shore Boulevard containsHolocaust Memorial Park, which contains a monument completed in 1997 to commemorate victims of Nazi persecution. Between these two sites, the Ocean Avenue Footbridge connects Shore Boulevard Mall to mainland Brooklyn.[3]
