Developer to Donate Land, Playground for New Park in Tinley Park
A new park is coming to a Tinley Park development thanks to a land and equipment donation from a local home builder.
Frank Bradley, owner of Crana Homes, is donating land and purchasing playground equipment to construct a small park in the new Brookside Glen Villas development, located at 191st Street and 80th Avenue. Park District Executive Director Audrey Marcquenski met with Bradley to discuss the project and announced the plan at the June 12 board meeting. The playground is expected to be installed next year.
Marcquenski praised the developer’s long history of generosity toward the community.
“Ms. Marcquenski noted that Frank Bradley and Eamon Malone of Malone and Moloney, have far exceeded the Park District’s land donation ordinance requirements throughout Brookside Glen over the years,” the meeting minutes stated.
The donation allows the park district to add a new amenity for residents in the growing area without incurring the primary costs of land acquisition and equipment.
In other financial news, Marcquenski reported the district received a Will County tax distribution of $1,315,111.30 on June 12.
