In early 2022,\u00a0From the Roots<\/strong>, a real estate development and venue management company headed by John M. Oakes, acquired 200+ acres of land (including the 40 million-dollar development formerly known as Mt. Laurel Performing Arts Center and Tom Ridge Pavilion) and began to revitalize and renovate the complex into a state-of-the-art facility called\u00a0POCONOS PARKTM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0that will play host to not only local and private events, but world-class tour productions, multi-day festivals, and other special events.<\/p>\n

The complex includes two sizable venues:\u00a0Amphitheater at Poconos ParkTM<\/sup>,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0a 10,000+ capacity, open-air amphitheater with thousands of seats near the stage and a beautiful grass lawn for thousands more to enjoy entertainment in the great outdoors, that can be converted to a 2,600 seat, fully-enclosed venue for year-round performances; and\u00a0Lakeside Theater at Poconos ParkTM<\/sup>,\u00a0<\/strong>a 10,000 square-foot banquet hall located on a 90-acre scenic lake that can seat up to 400 people for private events such as banquets, corporate retreats, weddings, etc., and serve as a facility for first-class VIP experiences for concerts, festivals and other large events.<\/p>\n
