Core of Lakewood Forest Preserve near Wauconda to close for $5.1 million upgrade lcfpd lakecountyil wauconda60084 waucondachamofc
The core of the largest forest preserve in Lake County will close soon for the start of $5.1 million in work to improve public access and reduce operating costs.
The work outlined in a comprehensive master plan approved in January 2020 focuses on the area south of Route 176 and west of Fairfield Road. That's part of the original Lakewood Farms purchase in 1968 and remains the heart of the 2,835-acre preserve. And that's scaled back from what originally was being sought because bids were significantly higher than expected. Two new shelters, including a three-season shelter on Taylor Lake, and several other elements were deferred.
"A lot of commodities are higher," explained Kevin Kleinjan, the district's planning manager."We knew it would go up but didn't know how much."
