In 1914, the park was renamed for Riis.

The park was built along with the Marine Parkway Bridge and the <a href="/wiki/Belt_Parkway" title="Belt Parkway">Belt Parkway</a> in nearby Brooklyn, which provided access to the park. </p><p>After a period of decline, Jacob Riis Park was transferred in 1974 to the control of the National Park Service.

The <a href="/wiki/Neponsit_Beach_Hospital" title="Neponsit Beach Hospital">Neponsit Beach Hospital</a>, which occupies part of the park's site, was razed in 2023. In addition to the bathhouse, the park contains a north–south central mall; a boardwalk to the north of the beach; a large parking lot; an 18-hole golf course; and several sporting fields. The beaches at Jacob Riis Park, on the south side of the Rockaway peninsula, consists of 15 bays on the Atlantic coast. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

century.
