NYC Parks Calvert Vaux Park Pavilion

The Park Pavilion is a welcoming gateway to Calvert Vaux Park that provides support facilities for recreational programming in a previously underserved part of the South Brooklyn waterfront.Five distinct programs, a public restroom, staff office, work area, equipment storage and parking, are unified by a simple gabled roof. The design encourages openness and transparency, with visual corridors from athletic facilities to the public restrooms and skylights that provide natural lighting. The roof collects rainwater to irrigate native plantings that integrate the building into the landscape, and stormwater is handled on site to reduce the burden on city drainage systems.
