The Pavilion at School Yard Park
The Pavilion at School Yard Park was constructed in 2020, and was made possible by a cultural and community services grant from Racine County and contributions from local organizations and businesses. The Pavilion was designed to bring community members together by holding family-friendly events, library programs, private ceremonies and school functions – all in a central, walkable location near neighborhoods and downtown Union Grove. Due to COVID-19, public events were on hold until 2021.
