Fireman's Park Update

🚧 Fireman’s Park Improvements Project Update 6-4-26 🌳
Exciting progress is being made at Fireman’s Park! Thanks to a Recreation Passport Grant awarded to the Village in late 2024, along with a local match investment, Phase I improvements are moving forward and are expected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2026!

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Fireman’s Park is NOT OPEN for recreation while construction activities are underway. For the safety of residents, visitors, and construction crews, please do not enter the active construction zone until the project is complete and the park has officially reopened.

Phase I improvements include:
✅ Renovated paved parking lot with ADA/van-accessible parking spaces
✅ ADA-accessible walking paths connecting all park amenities
✅ Renovated sport courts, including new pickleball courts
✅ New fencing and ADA-compliant gates
✅ ADA-accessible drinking fountain with bottle filler and pet bowl
✅ ADA-accessible benches with companion seating
✅ Native plantings and landscaping enhancements
✅ Pavilion painting

These improvements will create a more accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable community park for residents and visitors of all ages.

We look forward to celebrating the completion of this exciting project with a Grand Opening Event, additional details will be announced soon!
