Section Foreman House

1.) The Sandvold Lakeshore Learning Center

Formerly known as the Section Forman House, the Sandvold Lakeshore Learning Center is situated just a few yards from the lake. This historic home is one of the last of its kind still standing in Minnesota. Built by the Great Northern Railroad in 1902 as a residence for railroad foremen and their families, this historic home will be restored and repurposed into a new lakefront learning center, providing indoor and outdoor classroom and community space.

Eco Park

2.) Shoreline Restoration

The growth of Wayzata and the popularity of the lakefront has taken a toll over the years, impacting water quality, plant and animal life, and the health and well-being of Lake Minnetonka. Shoreline restoration projects will reverse the contamination of Wayzata’s holding ponds by reintroducing native plants, trees and pollinator habitat and by restoring 1,600 lineal feet of lake edge.

Eco Park

3.) Eco Park

A new park next to the Sandvold Lakeshore Learning Center house will restore shoreline marsh and improve water quality. The park includes a pier extension like the Lakewalk and opportunities to create “Living Eco-Classrooms” along the lakeshore for STEM based learning.

 

 

Eco Park

4.) Depot Park

The expanded and remodeled park surrounding the historic Wayzata Depot will feature expanded gardens and a new restroom facility. Visitors will enjoy new lawns, decks, and terraces with seating, picnic tables and a community hearth.

Help us create a more connected, clean and welcoming Lakeshore in Wayzata.

All of our kind donors are challenging you to help raise the 8 million dollars needed to complete the Panoway Vision.
