North Lake Park was made possible by the purchase of the land at Lee Street and Howard Avenue from Good Shepherd Church in 2007. 

The purchase was funded in part by a OSLAD grant. (Open Space Land Acquisition and Development. Read more.) The decision to sell the 

property to the Park District was a significant contribution by the church congregation to the recreational and green space in Des Plaines, and 

made it possible to connect the new north park area with the whole of Lake Park.  Plans for development of the area were created by the Park District, and then reviewed by the public throughout 2009 and 2010. Construction was started in the spring of 2011 and most of the work was 

completed in late fall. The north park area will be dedicated in a ceremony on June 2, 2012, at 10:00am.

The area features a fishing pier, picnic shelter, gazebo, native plantings and sensory garden, open space, family play area with 

bocce ball and bags courts, interpretive signage, walking/bicycling path, water fountains, and a cooling spray.
