FY2024 OSLAD Grant Program

The Frankfort Square Park District is applying for an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Over the years, the District has successfully applied for and received over $4 million in grant funding that has made facility improvements possible, that most recently included the development of Brookside Bayou Park and the redevelopment of Community Park.

The FSPD hired a full-service landscape architecture firm, Planning Resources, Inc. (PRI), to design a full restoration of Hunter Prairie Park, located at 7420 W. North Avenue, adjacent to Summit Hill Junior High.  PRI staff also assisted with the OSLAD grant application that will be submitted on or before the August 31, 2023 deadline.

Resident involvement is a driving force behind all we do at the FSPD, and community support is an important component of this proposed park redevelopment.

Two public meetings were held, one on June 28 and another on July 12, where the public was invited to learn about the OSLAD grant program, the planned upgrades to Hunter Prairie Park, and all were invited to provide input on the various components. The ideas shared by residents were incorporated into a final plan, and thanks to the support we have received from PRI, local agencies, FSPD partners, and most importantly, our residents, we are excited about the concept and are hoping the IDNR will approve our request for $600,000 in state-financed grant funding.

We also welcome comments about this proposed Hunter Prairie Park Redevelopment project by phone, in-person, or via email at hunterprairiepark@fspd.org.
