Prairie Meadow Community Park consisted of
a large natural wetland area along with flood plain and previously
farmed land, that has been improved with park amenities. The
natural wetland is preserved with only a nature path system encroaching
into it. A picnic shelter with concession/restroom facilities
serves the passive portion of the park.
The active recreation space includes a basketball
court, ball fields, soccer fields, and a multi-purpose rink with
dasher boards used for in-line skating and ice hockey. This project
was largely made possible by funding through the Open Space Lands
Acquisition & Development Grant Program with the State of
Illinois Department of Natural Resources. BCA assisted with this
grant application. |
