Heritage Park<br />

Providing recreational opportunities to residents remains a top<br />

priority for the Village of Homer Glen. Over the past year, the<br />

primary focus has been on developing the jewel of the park<br />

system, Heritage Park.<br />

Heritage Park is a 103 acre park located behind Village Hall<br />

at 14240 W. 151st Street. Heritage Park will host a variety of<br />

recreational opportunities, act as a central gathering space for the<br />

community, and provide interactive access to a beautiful natural<br />

environment.<br />

The park is now open to the public, although many sections<br />

are currently under construction. The available features include<br />

Heritage Circle, a 1.5 mile walking and biking trail and open space<br />

enhanced with the planting of 136 new trees. On the east side<br />

of the park, work continues on constructing wetlands, bioswales,<br />

rain gardens and improving the fishing pond. These beautiful<br />

additions will offer educational opportunities and improve<br />

drainage in the Woodbine subdivision.<br />

Heritage Park is the new home for the annual community festival.<br />

Homer Fest will offer food, fun, and entertainment Thursday, June<br />

thousands of attendees from the Homer Glen area. Parking and<br />

admission are free to the public. Homer Fest includes four days of<br />

carnival rides and games.<br />

Active Core, Heritage Park<br />

The Active Core will open to the public this summer. This sevenacre<br />

area in the center of the park will provide active recreation<br />

opportunities for all ages, including a nature-themed play area, a<br />

pavilion, bocce ball courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, sand<br />

volleyball courts, a fitness area and a challenge course. The next<br />

addition to Heritage Park will be a certified 18-hole disc golf<br />

course. The Heritage Park sled hill will be open to the public and<br />

known as one of the best sledding hills in the area!<br />

Future phases of the park are being designed. Stay tuned for<br />

updates!<br />
