Gardiner pole barn to be renovated
The Paul M. Mele Community and Recreation Center
(pole barn) in Majestic Park will become a multi-use
space open to the public.
The pole barn is currently used for a six-week Gardiner
summer recreation program that runs from July to
August.
The men’s bathrooms require stall dividers and the
women’s bathroom requires accessories such as toilet
paper holders and soap dispensers. The work would
require the installation of a usable kitchen. The site also
requires security, internet and insulation upgrades.
Town Supervisor Marybeth Majestic said the town
will write out the scope of work and put it out to bid.
The 5,000-square-foot space was commissioned in
2013.
