Parks and Recreation Park Projects

The Yorkville Parks and Recreation department is committed to keeping its residents informed. As a part of our service to you, we will try to keep you up-to-date on all projects that are currently under construction in the city. If you have any questions, or would like more information on a project, contact Laura Schraw, City Park Designer, at 630.553.8574.

Raintree Park B
The subdivision at Raintree Village has a second park located off of Prairie Crossing Drive next to the school site and the water tower. The age 5-12 playground is a castle theme complete with an imaginary moat! A walking path winds around the park, allowing pedestrians to access the four lighted tennis courts that will be complete later this year. Other elements to the park include a challenge or exercise hill, a small parking area for tennis users, and a shelter at the playground. The conceptual design shows the preliminary plan for the park site. Click here to see the new castle themed playstructure! CONGRATULATIONS! Raintree Park B received an OSLAD grant in 2008!

Bicentennial Riverfront Park

Bicentennial Riverfront Park, located between Hydraulic Street and the Fox River, is a favorite of visitors and residents year-round. The Marge Cline Whitewater Course allows river travelers to bypass the Glen Palmer Dam while also providing a place for people who are new to Whitewater to learn or for experienced paddlers to play. Yorkville has been working on acquiring grant money to improve the park once the dam is finished by applying for an OSLAD Grant. The remainder of the park improvements included in the conceptual design are a new playground, trail, fishing pier, boat launch, shelters, civic lawn, and memorial area.
