Glenview Park District Meeting at Avoca West 
The Glenview Park District will hold a meeting at Avoca West Elementary on Wednesday, April 12 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. to get resident input on proposed concepts for a park. Last summer, the park district purchased a 1-acre parcel of land from Avoca West in the southwest corner of the property for a future park. With your help, the park district can better enhance the park design to meet the needs of the community. If you're unable to attend, you may email your comments to [email protected] or visit https://glenviewparks.org/avoca-park/ to provide comments on the project. The website for the project will be open for comments from April 12-19. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you at the meeting. Click here for the full flyer.
