For nearly 120 years the Winter Sports Park has been a landmark community space for families to enjoy a northern Michigan winter.
30 years ago, a collaboration with the City of Petoskey and the Rotary Club of Petoskey raised the funds for building the lodge at the Winter Sports Park.
Even then, there was a vision for the next steps in creating an all-season space that could be a destination for generations to come.
PROJECT VISION
- Covered Open-Air Space
- Resurfacing the rink
- Addition of new boards
- Other Amenities: Basketball Hoops, Lacrosse/Soccer Goals, Mulit-use Courts, Community Events
- Private Rentals
- And More!
HELP US REACH THAT GOAL
Fundraising has already begun to bring this project into reality. We have a great start on reaching that goal of over $1,000,000 to fund the necessary improvements to create the All-Season Pavilion.
The Noon Rotary Club, for its 100th Anniversary project donated $277,000 and along with a private donor we have $302,000.
The City of Petoskey has been recommended for a Natural Resources Trust Fund State grant for $298,000.
We are over halfway there! We only need another $500,000. Learn how you can help.
