Public Input Meeting: Panning for Indian Ridge Park

The Glenview Park District continues to advance park improvements and planning goals defined in our Comprehensive Master Plan to maintain the high quality of park and recreation services for our community.

Parks master plans are essential to provide a road map for the Park District on future improvements to the parks. We would like your input on determining a plan to maintain and improve our parks!

Several parks have been identified for planning including Indian Ridge, Swenson, and Willow Parks. All three parks will be planned concurrently including staff design collaboration meetings, community input sessions, and Park Board review. The timeline and funding for these parks has not been determined yet and the Park District is just seeking input for the preliminary planning.

You can also provide input by completing our online survey.
