The Village of Romeoville has purchased 30 acres of land and is leasing an additional 30 acres across from the post office along 135th Street. The property will be used as open space for sports like soccer and baseball. The plans also call for a dog park on the property.

“Residents have been requesting a dog park for some time now and we are very happy to announce plans for one,” stated Mayor John Noak. “This will also add more park space to our ever growing offerings.”

A portion of this space will be donated to the American Legion so they can build a new hall and associated parking lot.
