Construction Started on Duke Park
Tuesday, August 18, 2020
On August 18, construction of the new Duke Park began. Located at the corner of Lincoln and Crescent Drive, the new playground will feature an interactive water feature, a hand-crank train, and a 2-12 year old play area with a poured-in place safety surface. Duke Playground is part of the Connect Glencoe project, a half-mile walking path that will link five parks between Maple Hill and Park Avenue. Along the path, new social spaces, drinking fountains, picnic tables, and new landscaping will be added. In addition to the new playground at Duke Park, the project also includes improvements to the Maple Hill pedestrian crossing and a revitalized Veteran’s Park plaza.
