Terrace on the Park is a banquet hall in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City.^[1] The building was constructed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to serve as the heliport for the 1964 New York World's Fair.^[2] It is located to the south of the New York Hall of Science. The bulk of the building is suspended in the air by four supports. It has a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline. The outside walls of the main floor are mostly accessible windows that allow guests a clear view in every direction.^[3]

The building is currently used as a private catering hall for weddings, proms and other events.^[1] The operation is run by Crystal Ball Group, incorporated under a concession from the city's parks department. The firm pays the department 20% of the gross receipts or $2.5 million a year, whichever is greater.^[4]

Chief architect Allan Gordon Lorimer, engineers John Kyle and Ray Monte, and planning chief E. Donald Mills.^[5]
