Park Project Updates

Nicholas Dowden North Project Update
The Nicholas Dowden north project is nearing completion. The contractor will be working to complete punch list items over the next 1-2 weeks, weather permitting. Once those items are complete a soft opening of the park will occur while grass and other landscaping elements are growing and becoming established. The soft opening will provide access to many of the new features. Full opening of the park will occur in spring, once all landscaping is established. During the soft opening we ask that users of the park remain off the areas where grass is currently growing.

Butler Park Project Update
On March 1, 2023, the State of Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) notified the Village of award of a $469,000 OSLAD grant for the Butler Lake Park Project. The project includes a new recreation space within Butler Lake Park adjacent to the lake, south of the parking lot that connects to the former bandshell area. The site is a passive portion of the park. The project will include a playground, plant tunnels, a shelter, permanent game tables (chess, checkers), climbing nets, connected walking path, fitness station and a pollinator garden. Additional parking will also be included.

Construction began the week of September 30th with completion estimated in Spring 2025, weather permitting. To view updates and additional information for these projects click here.
