Finken Helps Bring New Life to Millstream Park Pavilion in St. Joseph

Our team at Finken had the incredible opportunity to partner with the City of St. Joseph on the new Millstream Park Pavilion project. The city needed expertise in plumbing and HVAC installation, and we were honored to be chosen to help bring this project to life.

A Much-Needed Update for Millstream Park

Millstream Park is a beloved recreation area located on the northwestern edge of St. Joseph. The park offers a variety of outdoor activities, including disc golf, walking trails along the Watab River, and picnic areas.

The previous park shelter had served the community for many years but was in need of a serious update. Originally built and partially maintained through donations from the St. Joseph Lions Club, the structure no longer met the needs of the growing community.

The new pavilion is more centrally located within the park, providing a modern and accessible space for visitors.

Finken’s Role in the Project

Located just three miles from Finken’s St. Joseph headquarters, Millstream Park Pavilion was an exciting project to take on. Finken partnered with R.A. Morton Construction Managers to ensure the successful completion of the build.

Plumbing & HVAC Installations

Our team performed a full plumbing and HVAC workup, including:

• Plumbing: Installation of two new bathrooms, a kitchen, a drinking fountain, and a bottle filler
• HVAC: Installation of new ductwork, a furnace, and an air conditioning system

Trusted Equipment Partners

For this project, we worked with top-quality manufacturers to ensure the best results:

• Furnace & Air Conditioner: Bryant
• Toilets: Gerber
• Faucets: American Standard
• Water Cooler: Elkay

Challenges and Solutions

One of the biggest challenges during this project was working within a limited space.

“We had quite large equipment to fit into a smaller footprint than we would’ve preferred,” said a Finken team member. “But we were able to handle it and meet all code requirements.”

Despite these challenges, our team was able to successfully install the system while maintaining quality and efficiency.

A Successful Partnership

The City of St. Joseph was pleased with the final results, highlighting both Finken’s expertise and commitment to excellence.

“Finken really did their homework,” said a city representative. “Yes, they came in as the low bidder, and they’re a local business, which we always prefer, but they are in general great to work with as well, and the system as a whole is working great.”
