Putting here as a placeholder – I will get to this in a day or two.  Kncny11  (shoot) 18:24, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lede

 * "several unconnected sections" "several disconnected sections"
 * Done.
 * In the infobox, the area is listed as 170 acres, which seems to just include the beach, if the boardwalk is really adjacent
 * NYC Parks characterizes the beach and boardwalk as a piece of parkland with area, rather than as just a linear feature. Sometimes this can result in unusual situations like a parkway, or even a road median, containing several acres of area. Epicgenius (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Description

 * WL The New York Times
 * Done.

Boardwalk

 * The quote in the first sentence, out of context, feels off; I'd either remove it and link to the types of woods, or attribute it to a source
 * Done.

Beach

 * Pipe "current" to ocean current
 * Done.

Park facilities

 * WL roller hockey and remove hyphen
 * Done.
 * A seal sculpture, also from Central Park, is also located on the boardwalk. The repetition of "also" here feels awkward
 * Reworded.
 * Remove parentheses in the last sentence and change to comma, for flow
 * Done.

Predecessors

 * "unconnected sections" "disconnected sections"
 * Done.
 * In the second paragraph, you list "family houses, a hotel, and an 800-seat theater" but then use the singular "it" (which, now that I read it, could be referring to the boardwalk itself, but is still a bit confusing)
 * Reworded.
 * "in a 1892 fire" "in an 1892 fire"
 * Done.

Planning and first section

 * three options: a boardwalk without a road, as well as one with a narrow parkway and one with a narrow parkway just to make the three options immediately clear
 * I rephrased it. The three options were those without a road, with a narrow parkway, and with a wide parkway. Epicgenius (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Connections between sections

 * "just as work on the second section of the boardwalk between Beach 75th and 56th Streets was to commence"
 * Done.
 * "since they had paid taxes for the boardwalk" "since they had paid taxes for it"
 * Done.

1930s through 1950s

 * Good

1970s through 2000s

 * in the late 1960s or early 1970s Is there a reason for the ambiguity of the dates?
 * This is because, at the time of the source article's publication, the repairs were made a few years ago, but the article does not specify. Epicgenius (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think a wild dog attack qualifies as a crime
 * I changed to "dangerous incidents". Epicgenius (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * WL the first instance of New York Daily News
 * Done.

21st century reconstruction

 * Can you elaborate on the damage during Hurricane Irene?
 * Done.

Cultural impact

 * Pipe "single" to Single (music)
 * Done.
 * Change formatting of Billboard Hot 100 to Billboard Hot 100
 * Done.
 * "sponsored by the Queens Economic Development Corporation"
 * Done.

General comments

 * Stability looks good
 * Pictures all look good
 * Earwig turns up clean at 8.3%
 * Thanks for the review. I've addressed all the issues now. Epicgenius (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Promoting now!  Kncny11  (shoot) 02:40, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
