Village Park Gazebo
PictureA weather vane with a musical motif decorates the top of the Gazebo; the weather vane was added a few years after the Gazebo was built; it was designed by Larry Endres and Bob Ziegler

The Waunakee Village Park Gazebo was built in 1988.  The original idea began with Phil Willems (a Rotary member) and Bob Ziegler (a Jaycee member).  The designer was Mark Wohlferd.  Funding and support was provided by Waunakee Businesses, the Village of Waunakee, Centennial Corporation, and the Lions, Jaycees, Rotarians, and Optimists Clubs.  Approximately $2,000 was raised along with the donation of some materials for the structure.  All labor was donated by community members.  In 1992 restrooms were added in a nearby building.

​The Gazebo is well used and loved in the community.  Since 1988, the Waunakee Community Band, led by Director Jan Tweed, has performed in weekly summer concerts.  Other Live from the Park musical programs are held on Tuesday evenings in June and July.
