Parks named for two youths discussed by Richton Park residents
At a Richton Park Meadow Lake Estates village board meeting residents favored naming two parks after recent youths deaths.

Residents debated including future names and whether to grant permanent memorial status. the idea of a Children’s Memorial Park was floated with concerns about opening doors to many future honorees.
