DEERFIELD PARK DISTRICT: Kenny Rudin Playground Dedication Update

Deerfield Park District issued the following announcement on June 23.

Since the Fall of 2019, the Deerfield Park District has been working in partnership with the Rudin family on the plans and renovation of Brickyards Playground. The generous donations from the Rudin’s and their family and friends will culminate in the Summer of 2020 as Brickyards Playground is renamed the Kenny Rudin Playground. Through this project partnership, the Rudin’s hope is to share Kenny’s love of the parks with other families, while focusing on inclusive options including sensory integration and adaptive equipment that support play for individuals with and without disabilities. To date, many features have already been installed at the playground and we anxiously await final construction and preparation for the dedication of the playground. The dedication originally planned for June has been postponed until August to allow for a larger group gathering to attend the dedication. More information will be posted once a date is secured.

Renovation began: Spring 2020

Kenny Rudin Playground dedication date: August 2020 (day tbd)
