WE EXIST TO GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY!
As a registered charity, the Lily Lake Pavilion and Lily's Lakeside Casual Dining are more than a business. The profits generated from the rental of the Pavilion's banquet/meeting rooms and Lily's Lakeside Casual Dining operate and maintain this beautiful public building and along with funds raised, through community fundraisers, provide community programs in Rockwood Park.
- SENIORS in the PARK - a special themed luncheon for 220 seniors filled with live music, singing and dancing. This much anticipated afternoon activity is also sponsored by the City of Saint John.
- AWESOME Adventures in the PARK - an enrichment to summer camps offered by the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Multicultural New Comers Association and Saint John Community Centres. Hundreds of children enjoy a 1 hour recreational and 1 hour educational activity in Rockwood Park. The educational component is sponsored by City of Saint John Rockwood Park Naturalist.
- RECREATION Your Way - a day filled with recreational activities tailored to individuals with visible and invisible disabilities in Rockwood Park. This program is also sponsored by the City of Saint John.
