Terrace on the Park is a banquet hall in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City. The building was constructed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and originally functioned as the Port Authority Pavilion and a heliport for the 1964 New York World's Fair.[1] The building was designed by chief architect Allan Gordon Lorimer,[2] engineers John Kyle and Ray Monte, and planning chief E. Donald Mills.[3]
It is south of the New York Hall of Science. The bulk of the building is placed on by four supports. The outside walls of the main floor provide views in every direction.[3] Prior to re-opening as a banquet hall, the Beatles' helicopter landed there prior to their Shea Stadium concert of 1965;[4] the venue was used for Park concessions upon the dedication of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in 1967.[2] The venue was brought up to contemporary event standards in 2017 after five years of renovation.[5]
The building is currently owned by the privately held Crystal Ball Group, which operates the building as a catering hall for weddings, proms and other events. Every year, the firm pays the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation either 20% of its gross receipts or $2.5 million, whichever is greater.[6]
