BEST VENUE FOR A PARTY OR EVENT

Erin’s Pavilion

4965 S. Second St., 585-2941 Named after Erin Elzea, who passed away from an enzyme deficiency at age 17, this multiuse facility at Southwind Park is maintained by the Park District and was built with the needs of those with disabilities in mind. It also has the distinction of being Springfield’s first LEED-certified green building. It is picturesque and a heck of a place for a party, hosting many weddings, banquets and social galas since opening in 2010. Runner-up: Firefighter’s Lake Club
