water tower, state park, historic landmark
Sitting in the center of the traffic circle joining Wantagh Parkway and Ocean Parkway, the majestic Italianate-style water tower signals your arrival from miles away. It was designed by Herbert A. Magoon with Harvey Wiley Corbett as consulting architect.
The 231 foot high, 315,000 gallon tower (right) was modeled after the campanile of St. Marks Cathedral in Venice. It draws 1000 year old water from wells 1100 feet deep and supplies all of the water used at the park. Robert Moses planned this famous tower and its location.
