Coney Island (NY) parking

[Phadd-F]

In less than a month we're heading to the States, flying to JFK and starting our trip at Coney Island (NY). Now it doesn't seem like the park(s) have parking space of their own and since it's located in a city, I was wondering if anyone here has a great tip on where to park. On Google Maps/Streetview there's the big parking lot of the Aquarium nearby but it also seems fenced off with a barrier so that won't be an option. Any tips?

I always use the street meter parking, but I only go on weekdays.

If you're lucky you can just get street parking. There's also the lot by the parachute tower that I've used once.
