Wapato Park Pavilion

Wapato Park lies in a beautiful setting of lake and forest and is one of the most urban parks in the city. Your special wedding celebration can take place in this charming location! You and your guests can enjoy display gardens, a walking trail around the lake and an impressive, historic pergola. The historic pergola, a crescent-shaped arbor with an open roof and tall columns, has lent a hint of Italian garden to this South End park's main entryway since 1938. The structure was restored in 2001 and serves as the backdrop for year-round seasonal color. Flower baskets hang from beams encircled by rows of blooms. Imagine exchanging your vows in this romantic setting, surrounded by lush greenery and calm beauty. After your breathtaking ceremony, you may want to host a lovely reception in the park as well. The Kiwanis and Main picnic shelters are reservable for the months between April and September if you would like to host your wedding reception here.
