The Pines At Windermere

The Pines at Windermere is a property that is owned by OUC, but is available to the public for rental. The property is located on Lake Down. There are two main buildings, restrooms, a covered grill area, picnic tables, a playground, basketball court, and baseball field. There is also a dock where you can launch a boat. There isn’t actually a swimming area like their website states, most of the shoreline is pretty grassy.
It’s a nice spot with lovely views. I have been there for several meetings and workshops. I have one friend who had a graduation party there, and another had a wedding, so the space is extremely versatile. The buildings are a bit plain, and don’t look like much from the outside, but they can be decorated however you want.
The best thing about this location (other than the scenery) is the capacity. There is a large area for parking, and you can accommodate a couple hundred people easily. If you are looking for a venue in the Windermere area the Pines is definitely worth checking out.
