LOCK 27

As we go into this holiday season we wanted to share with you a photo from November 24, 2019 compared to one taken this evening. What a difference a year makes. A slight visual change, and yet two completely different worlds we were experiencing when they were taken. Last year we were so hopeful that you could be enjoying tonight's picture in person with your selfies on Instagram from The Deck @ LOCK 27, but things happen. Our plans are moving forward, as should yours, and we... will be announcing an update this spring. Rest assured for now that we are, oh so grateful to all of you for your continued support and inquires for your upcoming meetings and events and your interest in allowing us to host them. THANK YOU! In the meantime, stay well, stay healthy, care for yourselves and care for others in our community that rely on us to do so. That has never changed. You will hear from us this spring, but please keep forwarding your inquiries for meetings and events to us here and on the inquiry form at www.lock27events.com. See more

AUGUST UPDATE: Our original plan was to move forward with a "slow opening" beginning in April or May of this year to accommodate some events in the spring and summer. Well, that changed. So we are continuing to use this time we have wisely and we will look at opening in the Spring of 2021! We are seeing a great deal of enthusiasm with our meeting and event partners for that time and we are actively pursuing many options and ideas for the future! You should be as well. Please ...do not hesitate to reach out to us now when considering your future meetings and events. You can call, text or simply fill out a simple request form on our website at www.lock27events.com. Our meeting room rates and packages are available there as well for The Conservatory @ LOCK27 and we are extending those now for future bookings. We still have a great deal of work ahead of us and will keep you posted with updates both here and on our Announcements & Media section of our website as well. So, ....moving forward.... !!!

For those of you that have not been down to see it yet, here's a view from The Deck @ LOCK 27 across the Canalway. LOCK 27 would like to take this opportunity to thank and commend all those involved in refurbishing the dock on the South Bank. It really may not seem like much, but every effort, every detail matters so much in making the right first impression for our community and our visitors. We are always discussing ways to expand those efforts, increase our "curb appeal" and showcase our "Lyons Pride". Every little bit helps, and in this case, a major effort in showcasing our community to those seeing us from our historic Erie Canal gateway. Great job! We thank you!

JULY UPDATE: Twenty-five. Aside from twenty-seven, that’s an important number we would like you to remember. As a child riding with my mother and seeing large homes along the lake we would comment on how big and beautiful they were and my mother would always have that one comment that would bring us back down to reality, Imagine trying to clean all that....Continue reading

That would certainly make clearing weeds along the canal bank easier, ...and more fun!

We have.... water! And it's been steadily rising all afternoon as we've been stepping out back and checking. Check out www.canals.ny.gov for more information. How many of you have stopped to read the historical markers along the Canalway? We haven't either. We're doing it now with this nice weather. That's your official invitation to The Deck @ LOCK 27 to check them out. Even though most events have been postponed or cancelled in the coming weeks you can still sign up for the Canalway Challenge and enjoy the outdoors at your own pace. Find more information at https://eriecanalway.org/explore/challenge/signup. Also be sure to follow us on Instagram, and at our website www.lock27events.com. Please respect social distancing and remember to leave our trails and parks as you found them for the next visitors to enjoy!

Even though we are temporarily closed due to COVID-19 concerns, we are constantly updating our profiles online including Google Maps, by adding photos and information about our facility. Find us on your Google searches and check us out on the maps. We're adding new event booking tools constantly.
