Information on North Side Recreation Center
The Westmont Park District will receive a grant award of $2,476,012.50, which is approximately 75% of the total project cost. This proposed, 10,000SF building will have multiple uses, including early childhood to senior programming, cultural and performing arts programs and performances, fitness and dance classes, a banquet room for rentals and conferences and a home for our PVPN group and provide space for our SEASPAR participants. The conceptual plans for this facility are below. The addition of this north side center was included in the original Ty Warner Park Master Plan that was created in 1999. It will allow the Westmont Park District the opportunity to expand our programming and services in one of the most beautiful parks in the western suburbs.
