Shiloh Park Renovation

The Zion Park District was honored to be awarded a grant from the Illinois Association of Parks & Recreation (IPRA).  IPRA’s Statewide Funding Initiative provided the District a savings of $141,417 on the playground equipment that will be installed this Summer in Shiloh Park.  The existing equipment will be donated to Kids Around the World, an agency that builds playgrounds and brings hope to children in underdeveloped countries.

The overall renovation of Shiloh Park includes a combination of grants totaling almost one million dollars!  In addition to IPRA’s initiative, the Park District also secured a $400,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and a $400,000 grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (thanks to the help of State Representative Joyce Mason).  The Zion Park District is excited for this renovation of Shiloh Park for the community to enjoy.  Construction will begin this Spring!
