Big changes are coming to Proksa Park this summer as the Berwyn Park District continues investing in the future of one of the community’s most beloved parks. Through funding support from an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) matching grant, several exciting improvements will soon begin taking shape throughout the park. 

These enhancements are designed to improve accessibility, recreation opportunities, and the overall visitor experience while preserving the natural beauty and community atmosphere that make Proksa Park such a special place. 

Planned improvements include: 

  • A brand-new playground designed with modern play features and improved accessibility 
  • New picnic shelters for family gatherings, celebrations, and community events 
  • Game tables to encourage social and interactive recreation 
  • An improved walking path to enhance accessibility and enjoyment throughout the park 
  • Additional park amenities aimed at creating a welcoming experience for visitors of all ages 

As construction progresses throughout the summer, visitors may experience temporary closures, detours, or limited access to certain areas of the park. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as these important improvements are completed. The Berwyn Park District is excited to continue enhancing Proksa Park and creating spaces where residents can gather, play, connect, and enjoy the outdoors for years to come. We look forward to welcoming the community back to an even more vibrant and accessible Proksa Park once construction is complete. 

Stay tuned for additional updates and project timelines as work progresses this summer.
