Hunt Club Park Community Playground
Coming Fall 2025:
This project will include the removal of the current Hunt Club Park Community playground, which has been in use for over 25 years. Construction of the new playground will begin in August 2025, and will include new features such as a first of its kind “Tot Playland” designed for ages 6 months-2 years old, an “Early Childhood” play area for ages 2-5, and a main play area for ages 5-12, all enhanced with a protective layer of synthetic grass, or turf.
New equipment will feature a total of six slides with enclosed and open options, climbing apparatuses, shade structures, swings, teeter-totters, two new spinner features, and a 100ft zip line.
In addition, ADA accessible elements will be added and improved, such as a transfer slide for wheelchair bound visitors, an ADA accessible swing, a swinging saucer pad, and the widening of the blacktop path encircling the park from 2ft to 5ft.
The construction of the new playground is made possible thanks to state line-item grants received from Illinois State Representative, Joyce Mason, and Illinois State Senator, Adriane Johnson.
Anticipated completion date: late fall 2025.
