RIVERSIDE PARK PICNIC PAVILION
Elmira, NY - 1912

mong the many parks in Elmira, the memories of Riverside and its 40 plus acre presence on the Southside remain intact. Bounded by Maple Avenue on the west and the Chemung River on the east, here we see Riverside Park's old Picnic Pavilion as it stood in the early 1900s. Family picnics and corporate outings on the 4th of July were among its specialties. This antique postcard photo was sent in to us by Joe McDonald (SHS Class of 58) and his wife, Patricia Manwaring McDonald (SHS Class of 60) who still reside in the Elmira area.
