Our 40 acre park complex is designed to support a variety of sports and community activities.

The Eagle River Lions Clubhouse at Mile 1.5 Eagle River Road is owned by the Club, on land leased from the State of Alaska.  The buildings primary purpose is to support the functions of The Eagle River Lions, the Sleeping Lady Mountain Lions, and Scout Troop 230; when not in use, it is available to the public for private events.  We have tried to keep the costs down as much as possible; however as all maintenance, utilities, insurance and improvements are paid for by the Club, it is necessary to charge for these events.  We have found that most facilities suitable for weddings and banquets in the area, including Anchorage, are far more expensive and have very strict time limits.  We do our best to make the Lions Clubhouse a user-friendly facility.
