Winnemac Park Advisory Council
Our Story
Established as a 501(c)(3) and operating for public benefit, improved conditions, and promotion of nature spaces and recreational activities, the Winnemac Park Advisory Council was reactivated in the spring of 2023. A new board has been elected, and by-laws have been established.
During Q1 of 2025 board elections have occurred and a new leadership team has formed.
Our Mission
We are volunteers dedicated to building community and making Winnemac Park a wonderful place to be.
WPAC has identified the following priorities
• The pressing need for easily-accessible bathroom facilities for all park patrons in order to maintain adequate levels of sanitation throughout the park
• A desire to maintain and protect the park
