Crystal Lake Playgrounds Development Meeting September 5

The Crystal Lake Park District will hold an open, public meeting on Thursday, September 5 at 7:00 PM at the Administrative Office (lower level), One E. Crystal Lake Avenue.  The purpose of the meeting is to get feedback from park users on a variety of proposed playground layouts and equipment types.

A master redevelopment plan for the 20 year old park was approved by the Park District Board of Commissioners in 2011 and a grant from the Illinois Department of Resources was awarded to partially fund the project.  In addition to a new playground, the redevelopment project will include a splash pad, second tennis court, second fishing pier, bocce courts, baggo courts and a new parking lot.  Construction is expected to begin in May of 2014.

Questions can be directed to Ann Viger, Director of Planning and Development, at (815) 459-0680 x 205 or aviger@crystallakeparks.org
