Thank you for visiting the village’s Virtual Town Hall and for your question.
We shared your concerns with the village’s parks director and were told that Schussler Park playground was installed in 1996 and will be updated in the next few years. Upon receiving your question, the director sent a certified playground safety inspector back to the site (playgrounds are inspected monthly) to review your concerns. While there is some wear on the playground equipment decks, they are safe to use and will be continually monitored. Regarding the requested improvements to the park site, plans are underway to have the roof replaced and upgraded on the pavilion area.
Additionally, funds are budgeted to make tennis court improvements/repairs caused by flooding issues. The Parks Dept. anticipates the repairs being completed this year. They will also be adding striping to the court areas to include pickle ball.
If you would like more information, feel free to contact our Park Department directly at (708) 403-6219.
