Built in 1914 as part of the original plan for League Island, the Gazebo commands views of the surrounding landscape. Its red tile roof, buff masonry, and blue Guastavino tile dome contribute to an elegant appearance. It is a great place to have a picnic and catch a glimpse of nature in South Philadelphia or come here to have your wedding pictures taken.
