The view from the terrace

These views of Flushing Meadow Park landmarks were shot from Terrace on the Park. This park is also known as World's Fair Park because it was the site of the 1939 and 1964 world fairs. The shot of the Queens Museum is actually the old New York City's pavilion from the 1939 world fair and it was the original meeting place of the UN while the present headquarters were being built.  Beyond it the famous Unisphere  from the 1964  fair can be seen, The round structure in yellow, is from the 1964 world fair it was the New York State pavilion. After years of neglect it finally got some repairs and a new coat of paint. The roofed structure is the US Open tennis stadium with it's new roof. To the left City Field can be seen. Terrace on the Park dates from 1964.It was an heliport and the pavilion of the Port Authority of New York. It was later converted to a special events and catering site. New York always changes.
