Bolingbrook Park District is in the
second year of the five-year referendum project plan. Residents of Bolingbrook
will see the largest projects completed this year. Tentatively starting the
first week of April, work will begin on the Bolingbrook Recreation &
Aquatic Complex Renovation Project. This project includes exciting new things that
include:
- Five
new family changing rooms
- New
program space
- Renovated
fitness and aquatic locker rooms
- Renovated
entrance to the facility
“We have been assured that crews can
work efficiently while maintaining proper social distancing,” said Ron Oestriech,
executive director. “We’re excited to bring these projects to our residents and
look forward to seeing everyone having fun while they utilize them.”
Other referendum projects include the
center of the Lazy River Island at Pelican Harbor Outdoor Aquatic Park, which is
getting a new look and adding more deck space for customers. The new island
will feature a shelter and four shaded areas with tables and benches for
additional seating within the park. A bridge will connect the island to the
rest of the park. This feature will be ready for use this summer. A significant amount of progress has been made
on the pathway connection project. This project involves numerous parties and
takes quite a bit of coordination to complete.
Five new playgrounds are set to open
this summer at the following parks:
- Central
Park (201 Recreation Dr.)
- Indian
Boundary Park (990 W. Boughton Rd.)
- Indian
Chase Meadows (525 Pheasant Chase Dr.)
- Remington
Lakes (811 W. Remington Blvd.)
- River
Bend (1940 Danube Way)
