The NYC Parks & Recreation Department hosted its second annual Citywide Beach Volleyball Tournament over two days in August 2007 at Coney Island Beach in Brooklyn. The tournament featured over 450 players on 40 courts across 11 divisions. It was the largest free beach volleyball tournament on the East Coast and drew players from as far as Florida. Sponsors supported the event through advertising, a hospitality tent, and a sponsor row at the venue. The tournament was promoted through banners, newspaper ads, MTA promotions, and signage. Winners from the 24 divisions received prizes at the conclusion.
