STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. –– A gleaming new pavilion the result of a $6.5 million renovation effort was unveiled Tuesday at Conference House Park.
The 3,000 square foot open-air pavilion rests upon the piles of the original structure, which was built in 1935 in Tottenville, the southernmost point of New York State. Over the years, the pavilion was worn down by storms. The Parks Department closed it in 2011 due to extensive damage that it endured during Hurricane Irene.
