An iconic example of 1960s public art and designed by Edwin John Victor Pasmore (d. 1998) during his time as consultant Director of urban design for Peterlee Development Corporation. It was opened in 1969, the same year as the first manned mission to the Moon by the Apollo programme, hence its name.
The Apollo Pavilion sits in a small public park in the middle of a housing estate. Paths around the structure can be uneven. The Community Centre is within walking distance and has toilets.
