UP ON THE ROOF

Ponce City Market set to unveil final phase

After more than four years of restoration, Ponce City Market in the Old Fourth Ward is set to unveil its final a phase – The Roof.

One of the building’s original freight elevators will whisk visitors to the rooftop where they will find an 18-hole miniature golf course, boardwalk-style games, a slide built into the iconic marquee facing North Avenue and food vendors.

Officially opening to the public mid-2016, The Roof at Ponce City Market pays homage to the Ponce de Leon amusement park, often referred to as the “Coney Island of the South,” which was originally built on the site where the mixed-use development currently resides.

Those attending the April 3 Putt! Putt! Putt! fundraiser for the Kyle Korver Foundation, which works to end the poverty cycle, will get their first look at The Roof and a chance to play a round of miniature golf along with food and entertainment.
