about the Competition Site. There are scans of some of the
original construction drawings, site plan maps and some
links to useful websites. The New York State Pavilion site
of the 1964 World's Fair is a well know and well documented
site. The links and information provided by EGBNY is a
small part of what can be found. We suggest you do your own
internet searches and visit the site to complete your
knowledge of the site.
SITE VISITS - The site can be visited by
the public within park hours. You will be able to see the
exterior of the buildings and the site context but no
interior access is open to the public. Limited site visits
will be arranged for touring the interior. Dates and times
will be provided on this website when they become
available. Public transportation is available to Corona
State Park via the 7 subway train:
Take the 7 to Shea Stadium/Willets Point. Exit on the
side opposite Shea Stadium following the signs towards the
Tennis Center. Walk past the Tennis Center towards the

towers that are part of the Pavilion site. You can view the
