Central
Park, located in the center of Grayslake serves the community of
Grayslake and surrounding area. With extensive enhancements under
construction this summer and fall, Central Park will provide a new open
space experience and focal point for young and old residents of
Grayslake and the surrounding communities.
You
can be part of the ongoing development of Central Park by leaving your
personalized imprint on our customized brick walkway.

This pathway is
located between the softball and football fields on the south end of
Central Park.
Be a part of Central
Park by leaving a lasting donation to help further develop other parts
of the park.
Funds
raised from the Buy-A-Brick Fundraiser will go back into a Central Park
fund for the continued support of the newly designated
Reflection Pond &
Walkway located on the west side of Central Park. The Memorial
Living Forest
is being established to remember those in the
Grayslake Community who have lost their lives .
The Grayslake Park Foundation is a not for profit 501 (c)
(3) organization. Donations may be tax deductible.

REFLECTION
POND & WALKWAY |
|
The Grayslake Community
Park District and the Grayslake Park Foundation joined in response to the
community by designating a walkway and pond area in Central Park where family
and friends can honor their loved ones and significant life events with the
donation of trees and landscaping. The newly designated “Reflection Pond and
Walk-way” provides an opportunity for community members to enhance Central Park
with the lasting and living gift of trees. Birthdays, anniversaries, or the loss
of a loved one can be commemorated with the donation of a tree that will be
planted to eventually form a canopy over the Reflection Walkway. The result will
be a beautiful and serene area for reflection and remembrance in the heart of
Grayslake. Each tree or other landscaping will be marked with a 6” x 8” brass
plate that the purchaser can have 4-6lines imprinted with the name and phrase of
their choosing. Trees and landscaping can be purchased at any time but plantings
will be done in the spring and the fall. For more information please call the
Grayslake Park District office at 847-223-7529. |
