Raising Awareness and Philanthropic Funds for Panoway

Improving Wayzata's Lakefront

About Panoway

Since the discovery of Lake Minnetonka, its northern shore on Wayzata Bay has become a lakeside playground and gathering place where its wonders were enjoyed by all. Over time, it attracted residents and curious visitors whose experiences developed unique and cherished memories of grand views, a boardwalk, a Depot Park, a bandstand, quaint shops, unparalleled fishing and a boater's paradise on the foundation of its rich history.

Completed

After years of public input, professional studies and creative design possibilities, the City moved forward with a $12M plan to repair infrastructure and improve its Lake Street walkways and bikeways, build safer RR crossings, create a lakeside park including a playful children's fountain, all of which was completed in 2020.

In Progress

Thanks to $1M in lead gifts from two Wayzata donors completing the $11M plan for the 100-year dream for a boardwalk, now called the Lakewalk, can now be completed together with the renovation of deteriorating public docks and the restoration of lakefront ecology.

On the Horizon
