Read the in-depth details on the Village Park redevelopment, including possible construction costs and a timeline. The multmillion dollar reconstruction project has been nearly finalized, but actual construction will take years, officials say.
From an enormous baseball diamond complex to a splash-pad water feature, the Sussex Parks and Recreation Department is getting close to finalizing what Village Park could potentially look like after a major reconstruction project. Parks officials have been hard at work since January reviewing and revising 3-D designs of the park, and, according to Parks and Recreation Director Amy Flaherty, there are just a few more steps, including additional public input, before the plan could be come a reality. “The Park Board gave conditional approval of this plan, so now we’re going to get a cost estimate,” Flaherty said. “In August, we’d like to get this approved by the Park Board and the Village Board, so that way, as we finalize our capital budget …

This week campers went "Around the World in Five Days," and next few weeks they will have fun learning about the ocean and having a carnival.
Youngsters in the "Around the World in Five Days" summer day camp, hosted by the Sussex Park and Recreation Department, spent this week learning all about the continents of the world.

We’re glad to have them help, too.” Parks officials are searching for volunteers to build improvements to community parks in order to save money on construction costs. The idea was first floated at …
