The home team and primary tenant is the New York Mets-affiliated Brooklyn Cyclones of the South Atlantic League.

Features include a concourse with free-standing concession buildings and overhanging fluorescent lamps in different colors, evoking an amusement park atmosphere.

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.

In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit Brooklyn and caused extensive damage to the ballpark, including the front office, clubhouses, and team store.

In February 2017, the New York Cosmos officially announced they would host their home games at Maimonides Park for the 2017 NASL season.

The NASL cancelled its 2018 season, and the Cosmos later announced they will move to Mitchel Athletic Complex in Nassau County for their 2019 home games.

On January 19, 2024, it was announced that new USL Championship expansion side Brooklyn FC planned to play home matches at Maimonides Park for their inaugural 2025 season.

[16] The Brooklyn Bolts played their home games at Maimonides Park during the 2014 and 2015 Fall Experimental Football League seasons before folding.

The contest is usually held in a public plaza on Coney Island (at the location of The Original Nathan's Restaurant on the corner of Surf and Stillwell), but, for 2021, was temporarily relocated due to capacity restrictions and other health and safety requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
