OSLAD Grant Projects

Park Development Made Possible Through Grant Awards

The New Lenox Community Park District continues to seek other resources to continue park and facility improvements and upgrades. Sponsored by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Park District has received over 2.4 million dollars through OSLAD grants to develop/improve numerous park sites. The success of grant awards allows for park improvements as well as facility upgrades. Additional grants have also been successfully applied for and resulted in updates at Park District facilities including energy-efficient lighting for Park District buildings as well as a safety grant that allowed for the purchase of life saving Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) at all Park District facilities and outdoor bleacher inspections.
