This will be the first new park built in Northfield in decades.
 

The Northfield Park District and Village have adopted an intergovernmental agreement allowing the Park District to develop a “pocket park” in the Tower Road right-of-way just south of Temple Jeremiah.  The proposed park will include a small playground, benches, drinking fountain, bike rack, landscape enhancements, as well as connections to the nature walking trail and future Skokie Valley Bike Trail.
 

Fundraising Goal: $500K + $375K for lifetime maintenance

The typical lifetime for a playground is 15 years with annual maintenance costs of $25K.
