Today, the Village of Grant Park held a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony at Hilgert Memorial Park. Named in honor of former Grant Park Mayor, Russell Hilgert. Mayor Hilgert's family were in attendance to honor his legacy. The park has been vastly improved and updated, with new playground equipment, pickleball courts, a paved parking area and more. The village has been working with Piggush Engineering, Inc, who along with a previous administration, designed the new elements of the park and secured a state grant loan that helps offset the cost of improvements for the village. R&R Construction of Bradley, was the main contractor. Please plan on visiting the park and enjoy your time spent there. Located at 618 S. Main Street, All the way at the south end of town. Hope to see you there! ☺️
