Ocean City, a notable dry town, first built its wooden boardwalk in 1880 from the Second Street wharf to Fourth Street and West Avenue. In 1885, plans were made to extend the boardwalk the entire length of the beach after the first amusement pavilion opened on 11th Street into the 2.5-mile (4 km) length it is today.
The wooden boardwalk was ultimately entirely replaced with concrete. [12] When originally planned, the boardwalk was to extend almost 9 miles (14 km) from Beach 9th to Beach 169th Streets, connecting with the boardwalk in Jacob Riis Park. The boardwalk was intended to be 80 feet (24 m) wide and an average of 14 feet (4.3 m) above the beach.

Moses had originally planned to clear another 100 feet (30 m) inland of the boardwalk, but these plans were modified in August 1939 to preserve the amusement area there. [134] [135] The Board of Estimate approved the modified plan for the boardwalk in December; [136] [137] the approval had been delayed by one week after a landowner objected. [138]
The park became part of a larger plan in the 1980s to renovate the city's run down South Pointe area. Renovation plans were first drawn up in the city's 1995 master plan, but it wasn't until 2008 that the park underwent a major renovation program.
