Canarsie Pier, at the foot of Rockaway Parkway, was built in 1926 as a 250-yard dock on a shore where the Canarsie people once launched canoes into the bay. Today the National Park Service runs the pier as part of Gateway National Recreation Area, with a fishing pier, picnic area, playground and kayak launch at a spot anglers have used for more than 300 years, and the Belt Parkway, dedicated in 1940, runs along its inland edge.
