Students led by instructor Rob Lemay help Hornell DPW build new shady spot
From City Hall,
The City of Hornell is pleased to announce the completion of a new pavilion at the pool area of Veterans Memorial Park. The pavilion was recently completed in time for the summer season and provides a shaded gathering space for families visiting the pool and splash pad. The project also includes the addition of Adirondack chairs to provide a relaxing seating area out of the sun.
The pavilion was built through collaboration with GST BOCES and the building trades students, taught by instructor Rob Lemay, as well as staff from our Department of Public Works (DPW).
Mayor John Buckley explained the idea behind the project, “Our pool and splash pad area at Veterans Memorial Park get a lot of use throughout the summer. One thing we noticed was while the kids were having fun in the pool, the parents and guardians, or often grandparents were supervising with no break from the summer sun. This pavilion should make it more comfortable for visitors to the pool area.”
Mayor Buckley continued, “The pavilion is one of many wonderful collaborations brought to life through the partnership with GST BOCES and our DPW. A big thank you to all who assisted with this effort and the many projects before it over the years.”
