 There are several officially designated landmarks on the boardwalk.Childs Restaurant, a New York City designated landmark that is now the site of the Ford Amphitheater, opened in 1923 at West 21st Street; its terracotta facade was designed to blend in with the boardwalk's appearance.To the east is the Parachute Jump, a defunct parachute tower ride, which is both a city landmark and a National Register of Historic Places listing.
