We’ve been so preoccupied with finishing the spring issue of Cape May Magazine that we missed the tear-down of Rotary Park’s gazebo yesterday, but we got a few photographs of the aftermath for you. The park project is a joint effort of the Fund for Cape May and the City of Cape May. The updated plan includes wrought-iron fencing, benches, a large central fountain, gas lamps to complement ones already in place around the city, and new bicycle racks.
What a shame. The Gazebo was as quaint as it could be. It is so not like Cape May to tear down such a historic piece and on top of that to chop down all those beautiful old sicamore trees. Shame on you Cape May!!
I agree. The Gazebo was so charming and historic and just meant to
be there. The park will not be the same without it. Any chance of
replacing it with a reproduction?
Et tu Cape May?
I can not believe what I am seeing/reading…
We’ve been annual visitors for 30+ years and
finding it very, very sad to learn of these “improvements” :(
