Champaign Park Board OKs buying playground for Henry Michael Park
The newest park on Champaign's south side is getting a playground.Some more details from the meeting here.
Work begins this summer on a $22,758 basketball court on the southwest side of Henry Michael Park, located south of Curtis Road and east of Mattis Avenue, according to Champaign Park District Director of Planning Andrew Weiss.
On Wednesday night, the Champaign Park Board voted 5-0 to accept a bid from Downers Grove-based Play Illinois LLC to buy some playground equipment for the park for $37,378.
Park District Executive Director Joe DeLuce said the district will save money by having park staff install the equipment.
The new playground, which will be constructed on the park's east side, will include two separate play areas: one for children ages 2 to 5 and one for children ages 5 to 12.
