Last year, the Roanoke Park Board agreed on three goals they wanted to see accomplished in the next few years.

The first was to clean up the ball diamonds and fields to get them back in shape. That project was completed in 2020.

The second was to build a new pavilion.

Roanoke Park Board President Dave Meitzler said that the old pavilion was small and needed repairs, so the board decided to build a new one entirely to facilitate the park’s needs. Construction on the pavilion started at the end of March and will hopefully finish by the end of April.
