The bricks and pavers program is now closed. Thank you for your interest in supporting the restoration of Mirror Lake.
Restoring Mirror Lake Brick Program
Mirror Lake has re-opened to the public!
We welcome you to stop by the lake and find your donated brick or paver. A brick locator* website has been created to help you find your purchased brick or paver. Enter your name or the inscription into the search box, click “search” and then click on the eye icon to identify the section location for your brick or paver.
*The brick locator site shows the location of all bricks and pavers purchased in 2017. If you purchased a brick or paver in 2018, your brick will be visible on this site once it is installed in 2019.
