History:	After Steeplechase Park closed the Tilyou family sold the land to Fred C. Trump (Donald Trump's father) for 2.5 million dollars. Trump had wanted to build high-rise apartments on the land, but these plans fell through. In 1967, Trump leased the land to Norman Kaufman who initially, used it as a parking lot. Norman later added rides and turned it into a small park. Trump then sold the land to the city of New York in 1981 for 4 million dollars. Simultaneously, Kaufman relocated his park to a few blocks to the east. The land remained vacant until KeySpan Park opened in 2001 -- a 6,500 seat minor league baseball stadium used by the Brooklyn Cyclones. Today, the Parachute Jump is all that remains of Steeplechase Park.
