From Mayor Trilla:
Exciting news – Midway Park is ready to reopen!
I’d like to invite you to the official ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m. Please join the Village Trustees. me, and other local dignitaries, as we rededicate the park and take the opportunity to visit and sample the new features at Midway.
The park includes the following amenities:
- Wiffle ball field
- Permeable paver parking lot (51 spaces)
- Restroom facility
- State-of-the-art outdoor Fitness Court®
- Multi-sport court area
- Arborvitaes and native tree planting
To encourage active, healthy, outdoor activities, in addition to the sports areas, Midway will feature the Fitness Court®, a free, 7-movement bodyweight circuit training system designed for adults aged 14 and up of all abilities and fitness levels, developed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, the Village of Willowbrook, and National Fitness Campaign, to expand free access to high quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise in our Village.
Lastly, a paved walking path surrounds the entire park, and almost 100 new, native trees provide shade and shelter for wildlife. At the south end we’ve added a butterfly garden and additional landscape features. Solar LED lighting will be used throughout Midway Park.
Join us Thursday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m. (weather permitting) at beautiful Midway Park! Please follow us on Facebook or reach out to me or Dustin Kleefisch, dkleefisch@willowbrook.il.us, for additional information.
