Algonquin Officials Seek Input On Presidential Park

ALGONQUIN, IL — Village officials in Algonquin are looking for the public's input on how to approve Presidential Park.

A public open house will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the park, 700 Highland Avenue in Algonquin. The purpose of the open house is to inform the community about the process of developing the park master plan and seek community input on how the amenities can be improved and what the priorities should be for future improvements.

Residents are encouraged to stop by during the open house to tour the park and provide input. All members of the public are invited to attend. An RSVP is not required but is encouraged. Residents planning to stop out can contact Katie Gock, Recreation Superintendent with any questions at 847-658-5719 or at recreation@algonquin.org.

In April, the Algonquin Village Board adopted a parks and recreation master plan to prioritize improvements the village's parks and recreation department plans to accomplish over the next ten years. The village maintains over 22 miles of trails, 554 acres of natural areas, 21 developed park sites totaling 174 acres, an aquatic facility, and hundreds of recreation programs.
