Saranac Lake Civic Center

The Saranac Lake Civic Center is a multi-purpose facility that serves residents and visitors year-round. It is a non-profit organization and is locally owned by the Saranac Lake Pee Wee Hockey Association. This is a unique situation where the youth actually own the rink. They have games that bring in teams from the entire North Country every weekend and Can-Am tournaments that bring in people from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and around the Northeast. The Civic Center’s versatile and ample space allows it to host a variety of ice events during the winter, along with summer shows and programs, at an affordable price to participants.

A grant request was submitted to Cloudsplitter in April 2016 to seek support for a number of upgrades to the building.  The civic center has completed many renovations and improvements in recent years to make the space safer and more enjoyable for users.

Given the unknowns of the current funding environment, we wanted to be clear with our grant applicants that we may be less likely to fund capital projects, events, projects far outside the Adirondack park, and very large grant requests. If you feel something in those categories deserves our attention, please contact us to discuss further.
