The Thomas Lake pavilion, avail- able by mid- summer, features similar openness and the room to spread out. The feeling of seclusion is surprising in our suburban setting. The pavilions will accommodate groups as large as 150 people. Picnic necessities such as water and electricity are available in the pavilion. Restroom facilities are nearby.
