Park District of Highland Park recently issued the following announcement.
Kennedy Park playground is scheduled for replacement in Spring 2018.
The project has been in a holding pattern over the past several years due to potential interest in the property from other local Highland Park governments.
The park was considered by the City of Highland Park for a potential new fire station site and was an option for the NSSD 112 Reconfiguration discussion.
NSSD 112 owns the north portion of the park.
Since that time, both the City and NSSD ruled out Kennedy for future building, clearing the way for the Park District to move forward with its intended plan and investment for replacing the playground.
Project Schedule:
April 3, 2017 – neighborhood open house to solicit input for future new general park amenities
July 10, 2017 – neighborhood playground planning meeting
November 13, 2017 – neighborhood final playground plan review
Early June 2018 – playground installation
