The mission of the St. Paul’s Alliance is to support the phased renovation of the historic St. Paul’s building into an affordable and thriving year-round community center for all residents. The goal is to create numerous multi-purpose spaces that will serve the needs of countless community groups and become a social-hub for Village residents.
It is our vision to have a central year-round home for athletics, the creative arts, STEAM programs, performing arts, music-programs, and enhanced senior space, with the potential to serve as a home for Universal Pre-K.
Let’s do this!
St. Paul’s Alliance is a group of like-minded Garden City Residents who have come together to support the creation of a year-round Center for Recreation and Community Enrichment at the St. Paul’s campus. Most of us have been carefully following all of the numerous architectural, engineering, and environmental studies that have transpired over the many decades since the Village of Garden City purchased the property in 1993, to protect the property from developers. We have also carefully reviewed all of the needs assessments that have been conducted over the years and have recently been connecting with numerous affinity groups to understand the current needs and wants of these organizations within our Village.
This new Alliance, many of us lifelong Village residents, believes that the best use of this magnificent 19th Century building is for residents of all ages to fully enjoy the St. Paul’s building and campus after it is re-purposed into a high-quality, year-round recreational, educational, and social space. Like our incredible Community Park and Pool, we envision that this task would be accomplished in a phased approach over many years, if not decades, to keep the project affordable for all residents.
It’s time to support a Recreation and Community Center at St. Paul’s!
