Walter E. Sundquist Community Pavilion and Riley Park Groundbreaking

There was a great turnout for this community event that celebrated our future park and pavilion. The crowd learned all about the construction schedule and what’s in store once the project is completed in October 2005.

This endeavor is the result of much hard work and financial contributions. All those involved were honored and the project was recognized as a historic milestone for Downtown Farmington, Michigan.

The Downtown Farmington Center is located east of Farmington Road and south of Grand River Avenue in Farmington, Michigan.

Plan now for the park and pavilion Grand Opening Celebration, October 21-35, 2005.
