Peace Pavilion at Rotary River Park (Steamboat)

Stacked rocks near the pavilion show just how serene this area has quickly become. Community members often stop to reflect and enjoy this natural setting along the Core Trail.

When the builders heard about our 40th Anniversary Celebration scheduled for August 12th they kicked things into high gear to get the main structure pieced together. They are wasting no time at all in getting this thing built. Many of the timbers have already been placed and set. Roofing should begin later this week.

Progress at the Pavilion site is taking shape on an almost daily basis. The concrete foundation got poured last week and this week we begin erecting the timber frames. This site was beautiful to begin with but is going to be a prize location in Steamboat once construction is done.

We are planning a formal dedication ceremony at the pavilion site on August 12th at 6:30pm. We'll have s'mores for the kids and a glow lantern send-off. All are welcome.

Master wood craftsman, Jo Bond, has started work on sculpting the wood beams that will be used to frame the pavilion. Using old-world techniques and mostly by hand, the trusses will be linked by a series of grooved notches.

This project will be by no means a pre-fabricated, modular endeavor. The skill, precision, and careful thought that's being put into pre-construction planning demonstrates the team's commitment to quality and uniqueness.
