Parks & Recreation

Pavilions
The Village owns two pavilions: one on the North Bank of the Erie Canal and a second within the Fairport Junction Parking Lot.  Use of the facility is managed by the Village Clerk at the direction of the Board of Trustees.  The pavilion is open to the public, however it may be rented for private events such as weddings, 5K runs, etc.  Rental of the gazebo does not restrict access to other areas within the canal walkway.  To reserve the pavilion contact the Village Clerk's Office.
