The Conservancy has engaged Wagner General Contractors to make repairs to the pavilion that will make it safe for our park users. The $16,000 repairs will use pine wood to patch the floors. We estimate that the pavilion will be operational by the end of May, but until then, it is not safe to use.
The pavilion is the oldest surviving structure in Overton Park. Built in 1904, it was designed by the park’s original landscape architect, George Kessler. It remains a popular place for family reunions, birthday parties, and church picnics.
