Maimonides Park
1904 Surf Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224Brooklyn Cyclones Pride Night 2026 brings minor league baseball and Pride together at Maimonides Park in Coney Island on Friday, June 12, with gates at 6 p.m. and first pitch at 6:40 p.m. Tied to Brooklyn Pride week, it is a fun, affordable, and family-friendly way to celebrate Pride at the boardwalk, with the Atlantic Ocean just steps away and the Coney Island lights glowing beyond the outfield. The Cyclones, Brooklyn's beloved Mets affiliate, put on a festive Pride celebration with the first 2,000 fans receiving a Cyclones Pride Cap, plus community recognition, music, and the laid-back charm that makes a minor league game such an easy night out. After the final pitch you are right at Coney Island, so you can ride the Cyclone, grab a Nathan's hot dog, and stroll the boardwalk to round out the evening. It is one of the more relaxed and wallet-friendly entries on the NYC Pride 2026 calendar. A few local tips. Maimonides Park sits at 1904 Surf Avenue, a straight shot on the D, F, N, and Q trains to the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue terminal, then a short walk to the ballpark. Tickets are inexpensive compared to the big-league parks, so it is an easy group outing, and arriving early gets the first fans the Pride Cap giveaway. Bring a layer for the ocean breeze that picks up after sunset. Combine it with a day at the beach and you have a perfect Brooklyn Pride Friday. For low-key, seaside Pride fun, the Cyclones deliver.
