Will the tot lot’s footprint change?

The tot lot will remain within the current footprint, but the playground will be laid out differently and a gathering space will be added within the footprint.

The playground will be closed during construction. Construction is expected to begin April 2025.

 

The proposed playground surface will be a mix of poured-in-place (soft surface) and woodchips.

No trees are expected to be removed as part of this project and the Park District is considering planting additional trees.
