Crystal Lake Park District Board Forgoes Negotiations on Ackman Road Property

At this time, The Crystal Lake Park District Board of Commissioners has decided forgo continued contract negotiations in regards to 27 acres of property at 8917 Ackman Road, Lake in the Hills.

The Crystal Lake Park District had been in negotiations to purchase this property for future development of a Community Recreation Center and an outdoor aquatic facility.  The purchase was to be made without the need of additional tax dollars from Park District residents.  Negotiations on the property broke down due to one condition in the contract that the property owner was unable to meet, due to an existing lease with a current tenant on the property. 

While the Park Board felt the location was ideal for the residents of the Park District, the Board of Commissioners has directed Park District staff to continue to review other potential locations.
