France-Merrick Pavilion (Photo: Christine Buckley/SERC)
The France-Merrick Pavilion is located just a few steps from our beautiful waterfront and scenic trails. The covered outdoor area has six large picnic tables, three benches, and room for additional tables if needed. Parking is directly in front of the pavilion, and restrooms are inside the Reed Education Center. The pavilion is also used for education programs, so prior approval from SERC Education Program Director Karen McDonald is required before renting this space.
You may rent the pavilion for special events, with prior approval from SERC Director Anson "Tuck" Hines.
