This historic structure was built in 1963.  It was dedicated on February 8,1964. It is known for its unique roof.  This has a hyperbololic paraboloid shape, which is continuous, flowing, double curved surface used mainly in concrete skin roofs. It appears wing like in one elevation and as arch from the opposite side. It is also known as a saddle shaped roof.

The engineer for the roof was William Lindh.  The architect was Cyril Tucker.    The cost of the project was $54,000.

Recently, the roof of the pavilion was examined to determine what repairs or upgrades may be needed.   The inspection demonstrated extensive corrosion and deterioration of the structures.   The repairs would be costly.     At a recent session of the Venice City Council, a proposal will be discussed about possible listing the pavilion on the local register of historic places as well as the National Register.  Being listed on these registers would qualify the pavilion for grant money for the repairs.
