Covered Pavilion for Events & Community
We’re building a covered pavilion where families can celebrate birthdays, reunions, and milestones — and where neighbors can gather for community dinners, small events, and outdoor memories. Sponsorship is how we’ll fund most of this outdoor build-out at Sparks Lake Activity Center.
A Place To Gather — Not Just A Place To Play
Outdoor amenities are important, but what makes a community strong is having places to sit, eat, talk, celebrate, and spend time together. The covered pavilion is planned to become that home base for families, teams, groups, and guests across the SLAC outdoor campus.
Future pavilion events, reservations, community gatherings, calendar updates, and activity announcements will be available through the official SLACNAC.com event portal. You can also explore the property vision through the Virtual Walking Tour.
Family Celebrations
Birthday parties, reunions, graduations, family meals, and weekend get-togethers with shade, seating, and gathering space.
Community Events
Small gatherings, youth nights, team dinners, church groups, local meetups, and community programming.
Comfort & Safety
A clean, visible, family-friendly gathering area designed to support comfort, supervision, and organized community use.
