Jacob Riis Park is a beach with a boardwalk, playground, and concessions. The park lacks funds to keep it kept up well. That was and is a concern for people who use the park.
The research they did was finding out who used the park and the concerns they had about it. The REAP ethnographic assessments they used were individual interviews, expert interviews, transect walks, and behavioral maps.
There are a few different bays in Jacob Riis Park. Bay 1is a nude beach where a lot of gays go. It seems like a dirty beach that doesn't have bathrooms or concessions. Bay 5 and 6 has bathrooms, concession, showers, and the famous clock. There is access to the parking lots, play ground, ball courts and a barbecue area. Bay 14 has no facilities and acts as a cul-de-sac for boardwalk activity. Many young people come to drink beer and hang out.
The back beach area is where the park and playground are. Families come to picnic here. Many different ethnic groups use this park. The park offers diverse territories for the groups that they can claim. The park itself serves recent immigrants and poor to middle class residents of Brooklyn and Queens.
