    The idea of amusement parks and Coney Island came about by bringing together two concepts that were already present in the new America. The idea of parks and a place of relaxation could be found in places like Central Park in New York City and the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Frederick Olmsted brought about the idea of Central Park as a concept of democratic recreation. “Olmsted intended the park to serve, above all, as a rural retreat in the midst of a city, an easily accessible refuge from urban pressures and conditions” (12). The idea of the World’s Columbian Exposition came about with the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. “The Columbian Exposition offered architects, artists, and patrons an opportunity to construct an ideal that would purify the gross materialism of American culture, order its chaotic energies, and uplift its taste and character” (18). The second idea brought forth to create Coney Island was the idea of amusement and entertainment. Traveling carnival shows and attractions were very popular during this time and people saw them as a huge source of entertainment. Coney Island was a new…
