Wabeno

Wabeno Bandshell Park
The curved Wabeno bandshell boldly announces itself along Highway 32 which passes through the center of the community.  A Memorial Walkway with a flagpole sits in front of it with engraved brick pavers commemorating community members while benches surround the Walkway; Larry the Log Roller is next to it.  Artistic wrought iron fencing styled with evergreen trees and deer decorate the side stage areas of the shell.  In May 2011, the band shell was destroyed by a storm, however with much community effort in May 2012, it was restored.
