Evergreen Park Seeks Residents' Feedback For Proposed Yukich Fields Master Plan

EVERGREEN PARK, IL—The Village of Evergreen Park is collecting community feedback on the proposed master plan for Yukich Fields, 89th Street and Kedzie Avenue.

The village is applying for a state Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant that provides up to 50 percent funding to local government agencies for the acquisition and/or development of land for public parks and open space.

Yukich Fields at 89th Street and Kedzie Avenue is one of the village’s most cherished parks. It boasts baseball and softball diamonds, football fields, ice rink, soccer field and walking trail. The facility is also home to the Evergreen Park.

Proposed improvements call for a new playground, pickleball courts, benches, soccer fields, screening and fencing, parking lot improvements, infrastructure improvements, and habitat improvements/removing invasive species, to name a few.

Residents are encouraged to take a quick community survey after viewing the master plan. Resident feedback will be used to make revisions to the proposed amenities, if any, before the grant is submitted.
