KeySpan Park is a baseball stadium in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York. It is the home team for the Brooklyn Cyclones of the New York - Penn League. Official seating capacity is 7,500.

Features include a concourse with free-standing concession buildings and overhanging fluorescent lamps in different colors, evoking an amusement park atmosphere. In addition, the park overlooks the Atlantic Ocean as well as the famous Parachute Jump.

The park opened in 2001 with a capacity of 6,500. Demand for Cyclones tickets was so great that the team added 1,000 seats in a right-field bleacher pavilion within three weeks after the park opened.

The name of the park comes from KeySpan Energy, a utility company whose primary holding is the former Brooklyn Union Gas. KeySpan paid for the naming rights to the park.
