Broad Channel American Park gets its name from the neighborhood, which is the only inhabited island in Jamaica Bay. The Broad Channel neighborhood stands on Big Egg Marsh, an island approximately 20 blocks long and four blocks wide. Originally, the Yeshiva of Flatbush operated the Broad Channel Day Camp on this property. In August 1994, the Department of Real Property assigned 17.337 acres to NYC Parks. In 1995, the City Parks Foundation constructed the park’s ball fields with help from Broad Channel Athletic Club, and the park opened in May of that year.
