Wayzata cares about its history and the future of its environment. That's why we're excited to make the completion of the Panoway Project our 2025 GTTM MN focus.
The Panoway Plaza and Lakewalk have become a vibrant space where people can come together, relax by the water and experience the best of downtown Wayzata. But this is just the beginning. Our final phase is all about preserving Wayzata’s environment and history, creating something truly special for the future.
As a generation that values sustainability and community, your support can help make this vision a reality. By donating, you’re not just contributing to a project—you’re investing in a future where our community thrives, our environment is protected and people of all ages can come together to learn and grow. Completing our shared waterfront vision will include these 2 key components:
1.) The Sandvold Lakeshore Learning Center
The old Section Forman House, now named the Sandvold Lakeshore Learning Center, will be restored and repurposed with indoor and outdoor classrooms and community space. Curriculum will be curated by our local partners, Wayzata Community Ed, the Sailing Center, the YMCA of the North and the Minnesota Children's Museum.
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 will reintroduce native plants, trees and pollinator habitat restoring 1,600 lineal feet of lake edge.
So, why wait? 2025 is coming to an end and your tax deduction is there for the taking! Whether you can give a little or a lot, your support makes a huge impact. Let’s come together and create something amazing for Wayzata’s future!
Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We appreciate your support and commitment to making Wayzata a better place for everyone.
