The Park District intends to apply for an OSLAD grant this year for Waiola Park that will be announced the following year, if it is awarded.

Managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant program is a state-financed, matching grant program that provides funding assistance to local government agencies for acquisition and/or development of land for public outdoor recreation areas.  To learn more about OSLAD grants, click HERE.
