Exciting improvements are coming to Cerny Park! In 2023, the City of Warrenville, in partnership with the Warrenville Park District, submitted a planning initiative to complete park improvements at Cerny Park and apply for funding assistance through an OSLAD (Open Space and Land Acquisition Development) grant from the IDNR (IL Department of Natural Resources). In January 2024, this project was awarded $600,000 to complete Phase 1 of this project and in December 2024, this project was awarded an additional $600,000 to complete Phase 2. Comments or questions regarding this project can be sent to Executive Director, Tim Reinbold at timr@warrenvilleparks.org.
Thank You, Warrenville!
We’re incredibly grateful for your input and feedback!
Your voices have been heard, and we are excited to announce the winning theme for the new splashpad at Cerny Park will be Nature!
Thank you for being part of this journey and for making a difference! #theplacetobe
We’re excited to share an update on Phase 2 of the Cerny Park Improvement Project, which includes the addition of a new splash pad for the community to enjoy! In addition to this, improvements will include ballfield fencing, an outdoor gaming area, relocation of a rotunda, and wetland restoration. This phase has successfully completed the bid process, and a contractor has been chose for the construction. Due to our annual 4th of July festivities taking place at Cerny Park, construction is scheduled to begin shortly after the holiday to ensure minimal disruption to this beloved community event.
Construction is anticipated to be completed in August. As with many projects of this scope, final steps such as system startup, inspections, and seasonal considerations will follow completion.
While the splash pad will not open for use this season, we’re looking forward to welcoming families to enjoy this exciting new amenity beginning with the 2027 season. We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to bring this vibrant, family-friendly feature to Cerny Park!
