Update: New Picnic Pavilion

Construction on the Pavilion Activity Center will be moving along this fall. A concrete foundation for the building should be done by mid-September and the building construction will start soon afterward. We look forward to making the pavilion ready for community events in 2020 and using the space for our summer camps, classes and programs!
