You are invited to attend a community meeting to review the Lindberg Park master plan on Wednesday, September 12 at Cheney Mansion, 220 N. Euclid Avenue and provide your input regarding future park improvements. A major renovation of Lindberg Park was completed in spring 2015 based on the master plan created in 2010. It is the policy of the Park Board to review each park site plan within 10 years to plan appropriately in the Park District's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan for future park maintenance needs. is plan is updated annually and available to view at pdop.org. e current Lindberg Park plan is also available on the District's website. Energy Savings through Grant Dollars e Park District is replacing interior lighting at all 7 recreation centers, the Oak Park Conservatory and Rehm Pool to LED bulbs due to the receipt of a ComEd grant. As a result of this bulb replacement opportunity, the Park District will reduce energy usage at these facilities by 43% resulting in an annual savings of $12,250. A similar ComEd grant was received in 2017 allowing the Park District to replace exterior lighting in most parks. Energy and water conservation is a priority for the District. e pursuit of grant monies is an ongoing process which helps us to be responsible stewards of our environment.
