The issue of whether it is necessary to spray weed-killing and insecticide chemicals on the turf in parks is being raised again by those who want to see the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District reduce or eliminate such chemical usage.
A contractor’s error has brought the issue back to the forefront after Irwin Park in Homewood was sprayed in July. The park district’s day camp program uses the park. The crew placed only a few small flags as notice to the public that the lawn had been treated.
