Pavilion Plans

The Vergennes Parks & Recreation Committee together with the Vergennes Partnership need your help! Phase one of our Push to the Pavilion Project is very close to meeting our goal of raising $95,000! When we do, we will be awarded another $195,000 from the Hoehl Family Foundation for our Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park. Outdoor spaces have never been more prized, and this space offers something for everyone in our community year round! Imagine basketball games even on a rainy summer afternoon, clean ice to skate on in the winter, outdoor movie nights, an outdoor classroom space free from rain and snow, and a whole host of uses of which we have yet to dream! Opportunities abound!
