History
As commercial development increased along Lake Cook Road, the Williamsburg Square Homeowners Association lobbied to have land donated as a buffer and used as a park for the community. The Homart Development Corporation purchased the commercial property, built Northbrook Court and agreed to donate and develop the park land, spending approximately $750,000. The land was turned over to the Park District and made available for recreation on September 16, 1974. In 1999, the Park District received $125,000 from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for playground renovations and equipment, and a dedication was held on October 30, 1999.
The playground was replaced in 2024 thanks in part to an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development opens in new tab (OSLAD) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources opens in new tab that staff applied for in 2022.
