Nature Center Grant
The Frankfort Square Park District will seek grant funds to develop the proposed Island Prairie Park Nature Center. The 2008 grant project reflects the wishes of its residents as exemplified in three separate surveys, spanning the past 12 years. Feature elements will include a botanic display area/classroom, interpretive gardens and signage, a boardwalk through the wetland area, canoe and kayak launch, an osprey platform, and a gazebo. These improvements will not only enhance the existing natural area, but also allow easy access to the site, enabling added recreational and educational opportunities.
