-
Cropsey Avenue is a major street in Brooklyn, New York. It generally runs northwest-southeast, from Bath Beach to Coney Island. It forms the northeastern boundary of Dreier Offerman Park.
Cropsey Avenue intersects the Belt Parkway at exits 6-N and 6-S. South of its bridge crossing Coney Island Creek, Cropsey Avenue continues as West 17th Street at Neptune Avenue. For about half of its length, Cropsey Avenue has a central median, making it a divided highway.
The street is named for the Cropsey family, one of the first to settle in New Utrecht.[1][2]
