The Nicholas Dowden North project included the addition of a new playground with a zip line, basketball court, six pickleball courts, baseball field removal, native swale, linear skate park and a walking loop. The existing tennis courts will remain and be resurfaced and the existing hockey rink will also remain as part of the project, according to an update on the park project website.
The village received an Illinois Department of Natural Resources OSLAD grant in the amount of $400,000, which has helped pay for the project.

The contractor working on the project will complete “punch list items over the next one to two weeks,” according to an update from village officials in recent days. Once those items are complete there will be a soft opening at the park.
Village officials said the soft opening will provide access to many new features and the full opening of the park is planned for spring. During the soft opening, those who stop out to the park are asked to stay off the grass, which is currently growing.
