The Village of Homewood and park district representatives have been in discussions for months about a sale of the property. Residents will hear from both Homewood village representatives and park district officials about future plans for the half-acre space that currently has swings and two other pieces of playground equipment.

The park is next to a village water tower. The village is hoping to convert the space for a  gardening use, according to Mayor Rich Hofeld.

For additional information, contact the park district staff at 708-957-0300.
