Our Parks Maintenance Department is dedicated to maintaining your parks and athletic sites, ensuring they are clean, safe, and accessible to everyone. They are constantly upgrading older shelters, replacing site furniture, and seal coating walking paths and parking lots.
July has been officially designated as Parks and Recreation Month by the U.S. House of Representatives. To honor this, we are hosting the Grand Opening of Hibernia Park Phase II on July 25. Celebrate the month by visiting our parks and joining us at our various events!
Exciting Update – Construction for Water Chase Park will begin this summer. This project, with a budget of over $1.2 million, will be supported by an OSLAD grant and the New Lenox Community Park District. The development of Water Chase Park will include a pavilion, innovative play area, wiffle ball field, pickleball courts, and walking/running paths. We are delighted to enhance recreational options for people of all ages.
In conclusion, we are delighted to see our upcoming park projects come to life. We are eager to continue to improve the parks and recreation facilities for the New Lenox Community!
Warm regards,
Ted Schulz
Park Board President
