Located on a grassy field east of the
North Scituate Library, (Waymark Code:
WMZZ37), this well-maintained gazebo is the hub of many yearly events in town. It is easily accessible by a wide, flat sidewalk which leads to dual openings at the east and west faces. The structure has all white lower components except for the floor and stair treads which are painted gray. The tall roof is clad in dark shingles and topped by a weather vane with an arrow and cardinal directions. Long planter boxes are hung along the outside of the railings. Inside, there is a solid ceiling with recessed lights.
A small sign beside the north face reads:
