Set in the Elysian Park (the city's oldest, dating back to 1889), Grace Simons Lodge is named after the journalist who fought so hard to keep a park as commercial needs pushed for the open space.

Grace E. Simons Lodge is named in her honor and offers a tranquil and beautiful location set within a larger park for corporate, social, and wedding events. The setting offers a lodge, a picturesque bridge with a babbling brook, and a small pond with BBQ, picnic tables, and an outdoor entertaining patio. It is a wonderful place to have a wedding reception, outdoor ceremony, business meeting, or even a birthday party.
