Welcome to Avon
A Word From Nestled among the rolling hills and sparkling lakes of Central Minnesota
is Avon, an enterprising, progressive community.
The Mayor Avon sprung up with the arrival of the railroad in 1863 and was
incorporated in 1900. People seeking a simpler life in a beautiful location
of timberland and lakes discovered Avon. Since 1990, the population of
our community has increased nearly 20 percent about 350 percent and
the citys area almost 100 percent Over half of the current residents are
newcomers to the area, choosing Avon over other locations.
Initially, the eight lakes and the wooded hills surrounding the community
drew new residents to our city. Looking further, however, they discovered
Avons ideal location in relationship to St. Cloud, just 15 minutes to the
west of what Money magazine called one of the most livable urban
centers in the country. Minneapolis and St. Paul are just 90 minutes to
the southeast. Here, residents and businesses enjoy easy access to all the
amenities of big city living - cultural and art activities, major league sports
and shopping, national and international air service - without all of the
hassles. Indeed, Avon is cosmopolitan living in the country!
Mayor Hugh Knox Avon has achieved what few communities of any size have been able to
accomplish: to create a vibrant economic environment

Avon Lakers
About the Park...

We hope you enjoy the games as well as the facilities
at our baseball park. Improvements at the baseball park are
accomplished largely through the generosity and efforts of
the Avon Lions Club. Maintenance of the ball park is shared
between the City of Avon and the Avon Lakers Baseball
team. The concession stand is run by former ball players
and other volunteers from the community. Much of the
remaining expenses are paid from the advertising revenue
generated by the programs and other fundraising efforts
undertaken by the Avon Lakers Baseball Club, Inc. The team
would like to thank the Avon Lions, the City of Avon and
our program sponsors for the generosity and continuing
support of amateur baseball in Central Minnesota.
For more information about the Lakers, including the
2016 schedule, go to www.avonlakers.com/lakers/.
