A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on December 17 to celebrate the grand opening of the pavilion at North Hampton. The pavilion is located right along the Erie Canal in Greece, at 50 South Pointe Landing.
This pavilion was designed with residents in mind, offering a beautiful open-air space that can be rented for gatherings, celebrations, and community events, set against one of the town’s most picturesque backdrops. The space includes 14 picnic tables that can comfortably seat 96 guests. Also included are a grill and on-site restrooms. Reservations for the shelter will open in early 2026. One feature that makes this site unique is the pedestrian bridge connecting the pavilion directly to the canal. The path is paved and well-lit, providing safe, easy access for walkers and families to enjoy the area. Looking ahead, this connection will eventually be expanded into a full boardwalk, further enhancing the canal experience for residents and visitors alike.
“Throughout my administration, we’ve made it a priority to invest in our parks and public spaces. From new park lodges to major upgrades across the town, these projects are about improving quality of life and creating places where people want to gather, relax, and enjoy everything Greece has to offer. This pavilion is another important step in that ongoing commitment,” said Supervisor Bill Reilich. “The Pavilion at North Hampton also represents the beginning of future development along the canal. It sets the pace for thoughtful, community-focused expansion and opens the door to even greater access and enjoyment of this beautiful natural asset. With its open-air design and on-site restrooms, this pavilion is both functional and inviting—and I’m confident it will quickly become a favorite destination for residents.”
