In 2007, the gazebo had fallen into disrepair and was facing demolition. A group of Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotarians and community leaders led by L. John Simons, assembled to consider moving and restoring the gazebo. With help from many in the community and support from the city of Carlsbad, the Hi-Noon Rotary moved the gazebo off-site, restored it, and ultimately relocated it to a new home at McGee Park in 2010.
