Cheered on by hundreds of gathered children and families, the Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer, local leaders, and representatives of Stalco Construction, Sidney B. Bowne & Son, and Keller Sandgren Architects (KSA) opened a new pavilion and 14,400-square-foot spray playground at the Geiger Lake Memorial Park in Wyandanch, N.Y.
The ceremony marked the completion of a major $10-million component of an extensive, phased redevelopment of the park, which is located at Grand Boulevard, on the border of the hamlets of Wyandanch and Deer Park, within the Town of Babylon. The pavilion and playground, which is the largest municipal water park on Long Island, is a part of Wyandanch Rising, a $500-million public/private initiative to sustainably revitalize the economically and socially depressed community of Wyandanch.
