In 2002 the Parachute Jump was disassembled for a thorough structural rehabilitation and repainting. Sections of the Jump were placed in the parking lot of Keyspan Park for sand blasting, painting and member replacement. This photograph was taken inside of one of two large enclosures where sand blasting and painting took place and shows a detail of the pyramid-shaped lower section of the Jump's aerial beacon. The semi-circular metal brackets originally routed ascent cables to each arm of the tower.
