On March 1, 2023, the State of Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) notified the Village of award of a $469,000 OSLAD grant for the Butler Lake Park Project. The project includes a new recreation space within Butler Lake Park adjacent to the lake, south of the parking lot that connects to the former bandshell area. The current site is a passive portion of the park that gets little to minimal use. The project will include a playground, plant tunnels, a shelter, permanent game tables (chess, checkers), climbing nets, connected walking path, fitness station and a pollinator garden. Additional parking will also be included.
Construction began in the fall of 2024 and is anticipated to be completed during the spring of 2025, weather permitting.
