Project Background
Katherine Legge Memorial Park is a large community park that is located on the southwest side in the Village of Hinsdale. It is approximately 52 acres and currently includes the following: lacrosse fields, paddle tennis courts, playground, two large shelters with fireplaces, walking trails, dog area. There are several buildings within the site including the Zook House, The Lodge, an Administration Building, The Annex, Arts Center and a barn used for storage.
The OSLAD Grant application for Katherine Legge Memorial Park seeks to focus on the existing picnic shelters and playground area. Possible grant items could include a large picnic shelter, decorative shelter for weddings, nature explore playground, splash pad, skate spot, dog park, Frisbee golf, sled hill, lacrosse fields/multi-purpose fields, paddle courts and fitness loop.
Design Perspectives, Inc. of Naperville, is currently working on conceptual designs for the park and will present these designs at the first series of public meetings on Wednesday, May 19th and Monday, June 7th. Resident input is highly desired and we look forward to hearing your ideas.
