Countdown to 2025 #3 - Centennial Park renovation funding secured
Christmas came early for the Village in December when it received a $600,000 matching grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) program. The funding will be used to provide updates and renovations to Centennial Park located off Anita Avenue.
Centennial Park holds a special place in the heart of the Village. Built in 1992, the 7.93-acre park was a true community effort—designed and constructed with the help of the families and children. More than 30 years later, the renovation will ensure Centennial Park remains a cherished gathering place for generations to come.
“These improvements intend to provide updated, full accessible, and expanded offerings to Antioch residents based off community feedback,” Assistant Village Administrator Jim Moran said. “As the Village of Antioch looks ahead to the park’s transformation, this grant serves as a testament to the community’s dedication to creating spaces that foster connection, recreation, and pride.”
