The Greendale Lions Club proposed to the Village of Greendale to construct a 33’x60’ foot - Pavilion in Gazebo Park. With approval of Milwaukee County (Property Owner) and the Village of Greendale, the Greendale Lions are proposing to split the cost of construction 50% each with the Village of Greendale.

It is envisioned that the pavilion would be approximately 33 feet by 60 feet (minimum), have a covered roof, cement slab, and contain the following:
1. Men’s and Women's ADA publicly accessible bathrooms.
2. Covered seating area for approximately 60-80 with tables and chairs.
3. See thru garage type doors that could be closed in the case of inclement weather.
4. Overhead heater to heat enclosed seating area.
5. Food serving area for rentals or special events.
6. Small work room to be used for cash counting during special events or other uses as determined by the Village

The pavilion could provide publicly accessible ADA restrooms that can be utilized by the general public visiting downtown Greendale and also used for special events on Broad Street or at Gazebo Park.

The pavilion can be rented by the park and recreation department for picnics,
family gatherings, or to enhance rentals of the gazebo, weddings etc.

The Pavilion would be used by the Greendale Lions for the Family 4th of July and Village Day's events.

The Pavilion could be made available to Greendale non-profit organizations to use as fund-raising opportunities during concerts at the Gazebo or other downtown events.

The Greendale Village Board at their last board meeting on May 17, 2017 in a unanimous vote committed to working with Milwaukee County to obtain permission to build the pavilion at Gazebo Park. The village also committed up to $25,000 matching a contribution of up to $25,000 from the Greendale Lions for an engineering and design study for the proposed pavilion contingent upon receiving permission from the county and a public listening session.

The Greendale Lions are very appreciative of the pledge received from Grandhaven LLC and the support exhibited by the Village of Greendale Trustees.
