The Seaford Train Station Gazebo

Thanks to the Seaford Wellness Council, the gazebo located at the was recently constructed and restored.  With grants from Senator Charles Fuschillo Jr., R-Merrick, and Assemblyman David McDonough, R-North Merrick, the restoration project was successful.  

The gazebo restoration process began Oct. 5, 2009 and the ribbon cutting ceremony was held only 24 days later. The Seaford Wellness Council did an outstanding job taking this project on and as a result enhanced the area for local residents. Now the gazebo can serve as a place to relax as well as have live performances and special services.  

The members of the Seaford Wellness Council also had help and cooperation from Hempstead Town Councilwoman Angie Cullen, R-Freeport, Town Clerk Mark Bonilla and Highway Commissioner Tom Toscano. With help from local elected officials  and the support from the community, the gazebo can be appreciated by all.

Due to vandalism the council restored the gazebo to its original condition on May 2, 2009. They fixed the brick floor, replaced broken spindles along the rails and created all new landscaping. The Seaford Wellness Council sign was also redone.

A non-profit organization, Seaford Wellness Council has been around since 2006 and working towards beautifying the community of Seaford.  Besides the gazebo, they have helped cleanup , renovated Washington Avenue Park and revitalized the World War I Memorial on the train station grounds.

The Seaford Wellness Council's mission for Seaford is to provide and promote activities and to foster a healthy social community.  They have held a number of fundraisers and are always looking for ways to make the community beautiful, positive and happy.  If you have any ideas or thoughts feel free to contact them on their website or call 516-592-4200._
