Candler Park has two bookable pavilions that host a variety of community events from birthday parties to cookouts. Over time the ground cover around the upper pavilion had washed away, leading to muddy surroundings during any kind of rain events.
The Candler Park Conservancy projects committee spent a Saturday afternoon beautifying the space, and making it more usable for park visitors. They weeded and pruned the area around the retaining walls, spread slate chips around the entire pavilion, and also cleaned the built in grill.
Thanks to their efforts the pavilion is in great shape to continue hosting our friends and neighbors for years to come.
