This was the original gate to Luna Park.  The heart says "The Heart of Coney Island."  The entrance, like most parks on Coney, was directly on Surf Avenue.  It is sad that a furniture store now occupies the site of this magnificent park.  (Photo on the left Courtesy of the Library of Congress).

The park's entrance was altered for the 1905 season.  The main square entrance was still there, but it was surrounded by red & white wheels and crescents.
