Construction of the new Charles R. Wood Park Festival Commons Pavilion in Lake George Village.
I recently received some pictures of the new Charles R. Wood Park Festival Commons being constructed on the former Gaslight Village property from the Lake George Association. The area was purchased by a consortium of non-profits (including the Lake George Association) and local governments in order to solve some long-term storm-water and pollution problems for Lake George and increase recreational space in Lake George Village.
The state-of-the-art environmental park is up and working and the festival commons area is being completed.
The park was built to treat millions of gallons of storm-water (by removing nutrients and sediment before the water gets to the Lake) and protect Lake George water. The festival commons area was designed for recreational and group events. Here are some pictures of where the work presently stands.
