Renwick-Shade

The event will mark the final celebration of the park district’s $25,000 grand prize victory in the second annual Staples Dream Park Challenge with the Bears, a local parks improvement initiative.

During the Challenge, 15 parks throughout the Chicagoland area, including Plainfield’s Renwick Community Park, competed for a $25,000 grand prize. The voting took place online Sept. 16 through Nov. 17, 2008, and Chicagoland residents were able to vote once a day everyday for the park of their choice. Renwick Community Park received the most votes during the online contest, 251,544, just ahead of the Bolingbrook Park District’s Century Park, which received 235,639.

The Plainfield Park District was able to match Staples’ $25,000 grand prize and use the money to plant trees and construct shade structures in various locations throughout the park.

Renwick Community Park is located on Renwick Road just west of Route 59. The 48-acre community park also contains a playground, a picnic pavilion, a skate park, two basketball courts, three baseball fields, three soccer/football fields, and a .4-mile asphalt walking trail.

The ribbon-cutting event is free and open to the public, and will take place rain or shine.
