GPGC is gearing up for a makeover for its maintenance building that was built in the 1960s. An all-new Turf Care Center will break ground in the fall, with an anticipated completion date of Fall 2025. The new Turf Care Center is part of the golf course master plan and will be located in the same location as the current golf maintenance facility, located at 800 Rolling Pass.

UPDATE 10/3/24: Hurricane Helene has impacted the bridge fabrication, delivery date and construction schedule. The existing bridge will remain open until further notice. Thank you for your patience!

The pedestrian bridge that spans from Central Parkway (Raleigh Road) over the West Fork North Branch of the Chicago River is maintained by the Glenview Park District. The Park District will be replacing the bridge this fall with support from a $225,000 “Invest in Cook” grant from the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Construction on the bridge will begin on October 1, 2024. The existing bridge is being removed and new concrete footings will be installed. Then the new pre-fabricated bridge can be installed and the bridge concrete decking and approach sidewalks will be poured. This work is expected to take approximately three months, with anticipated opening of the bridge in mid-December 2024.

As part of the 2018 bond proposal, the state-of-the-art Community Ice Center renovations completed in September 2020.

A 29-member Citizen Task Force made up of community leaders and business owners were tasked with presenting a recommendation to the park district board of commissioners.
