Bayview Ter. from Barclay Ave. to Harold Ave.

Staten Island

This text is part of Parks’ Historical Signs Project and can be found posted within the park.

This park, whose garden overlooks the beach, was once bound by Boardwalk Avenue. Though the seaside road remains on maps, in reality, it has washed away. The watery vista and 17-foot drop to the beach below clearly show the origins of Bayview Terrace’s name. The park itself extends out through the beach and into the water. Nearly 90 percent of the parkland lies under the water.
