THE LODGE 
​Rustic Rental Ready for 2021

One of the many goals of the park board is to make Richfield Heritage Preserve safe and user friendly for the  public. In response to feedback by potential renters, RHP Park Services and RHP Park Operations led an initiative to address and resolve those concerns. With careful planning, several important and vital updates were made so that we are able to offer The Lodge (formerly known as Gund Hall) as never before in 2021.  
The budget was modest to update the 50-year-old building, so park volunteers stepped up to do as much work as possible and ultimately saved the park and community thousands of dollars. The 4,500 square foot space now offers running water, brand new ADA compliant restroom facilities, and the heated floor is once again functional. The addition of NEW banquet tables and chairs that are easily stacked and stored away make it possible to set up only what is needed. Having this versatility makes the space much more versatile, which is key for potential renters.  

If you haven’t been in The Lodge, pictures don’t do it justice. Its simple, understated exterior is in complete contrast to it’s grand interior. Inside, a two-story vaulted ceiling is complemented by curved trusses, and beautiful knotty pine is featured throughout. The handsome stone fireplace anchors the large space, creating a focal point that adds a rustic warmth to the large, open 40’ x 90’ main space. Two outdoor covered patios expand the space and allow for more flexibility of use and flow of entertainment.
