Vogelei Park reopens in Hoffman Estates with ADA upgrades funded in part by OSLAD grant
Summary
Hoffman Estates Park District marked the reopening of Vogelei Park, an ADA‑inclusive renovation supported in part by a $600,000 OSLAD grant; features include an inclusive playground, splash pad, bocce courts and a six‑hole disc golf course.
The Hoffman Estates Park District celebrated the reopening of Vogelei Park with a ribbon cutting and a proclamation recognizing Kids to Parks Day.
Officials said the rehab was a multi‑million‑dollar project made more affordable by a $600,000 OSLAD grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The renovated site is described as fully ADA‑inclusive and includes a playground, splash pad, bocce courts and a six‑hole disc golf course with half the course ADA‑capable.
William D. McLeod read a proclamation declaring Saturday, May 16, 2026, as Kids to Parks Day in the Village of Hoffman Estates, urging residents and families to use local parks and public lands. The segment emphasized the park district's long history and its commitment to inclusive recreation.
The broadcast did not provide specific budget line items beyond the OSLAD grant amount or a detailed construction timeline; those details were not specified in the segment.
