Public School 130
Post
Public School 130, ca. 1930. Constructed circa 1903, Public School 130, also called the Parkside School, was constructed during the planning and building of a spate of outer borough schools. At the start of the 20th century tens of thousands of New York school children were only receiving part-time education due to the lack of appropriate educational spaces. P.S 130 was constructed to provide full time schooling to the local neighborhood.

Ocean Parkway Bike Path
Story
Stretching from the southwest entrance of Prospect Park to the ocean shore of Coney Island, Ocean Parkway spans just under five miles across the borough of Brooklyn. In 1894, the parkway became New York City’s first dedicated bicycle path, and the very first in the United States!
