attended the meeting. The residents requested a number of
elements including soccer practice fields, baseball area, tennis

units, fitness trail and a skate path. Parks developed a plan
from this meeting and presented the plan to the public at the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting on May 27, 2003 .
The OSLAD Grant is a 50/50 funding program managed by the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) . The total cost
of the development is estimated at $446, 490 . The Parks and
rw Recreation Department is requesting City Council approval to
