Proesel Park South End Improvements 

Exciting improvements are coming to the south end of Henry A. Proesel Park! Construction is set to begin in March as part of a significant renovation project funded by an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).

Planned enhancements include:

• A universally accessible playground
• Upgraded tennis and sand volleyball courts
• Two dedicated pickleball courts
• A renovated inline skate court
• Improved basketball courts
• Enhanced pedestrian pathways

Please Note: The entire south end of the park will be closed from March 2026 through mid-November 2026 for construction. This includes the shelter, restrooms, playground, courts, and Madeleine’s Garden. An updated map of the construction zone is provided below.
