Riverview Pavilion & History Walk
Pateros was relocated in the 1960s to make way for the Wells Hydroelectric Project. Most of old Pateros is buried. Historical signage and exhibits are throughout city parks, along walking trails, and in the downtown shopping area. The Riverview Pavilion is a multi-functional building housing city wells and water source, historical exhibits, and a stage for community events. Join us at the pavilion in winter for hot chocolate, chili, and Santa or this summer for popcorn and an outdoor movie.
The Riverview Pavilion is a multi-use building between Memorial Park and the Pateros Mall. Its primary function is a pumpstation and source of community drinking water. The pavilion stage is used for community events like Movies in the Park, Arbor Day Celebration, and Christmas in the City. The pavilion stage area is useable as a patio and is a great place to bring a cup of coffee or sandwich for an enjoyable view of Lake Pateros and Memorial Park. The pavilion is the center for food vendors during the Apple Pie Jamboree and is the pedestrian connection between Memorial Park and the pedestrian mall accessing the downtown business district.
