Riverdale Park District to Buy 20 Acre Recreation Land
The Riverdale Park District Board on June 1 decided to acquire a 20 acre tract west of the Illinois Central railroad at 187th and 138th streets to create a village recreation ground. An ordinance authorized $38,000 in bonds for 20 years, totaling $64,400 with interest. The move uses the district authority to issue bonds without a vote. Riverdale aims to become a park center amid nearby Forest Preserve expansion and new Branigar Bros. developments nearby.
