A new gazebo for all to enjoy! We are pleased to share that work to replace the Sunshine Lake gazebo started this week with demolition of the old structure. Work will continue through December. If

weather cooperates the new gazebo will be

completed in time for Christmas and winter

festivities! The new gazebo will be a timber frame structure similar in size to the existing gazebo. Please note will be a trail closure adjacent to the worksite in place until the project is completed. Thank you for your patience during the construction of the new gazebo.
