Lake County Forest Preserves District officials are connecting the necessary loose ends to reopen the 77-acre preserve along Lake Michigan in Highland Park and Highwood for the Labor Day weekend.
Originally part of Fort Sheridan — the then-headquarters United States 5th Army until the base was decommissioned in 1993 — the preserve was closed in April, 2021 when three military explosive devices were found.
While the forest preserves district dealt with the legal end of the transaction and preparing to take control, Kovach said Openlands completed the maintenance necessary to get the largely untreated land ready for visitors. Forest preserves district Board of Commissioners President Angelo Kyle, D-Waukegan, said he is happy the deal will soon close. The district and Openlands have worked together in the past on a shared mission of preserving natural habitat.
Commissioner Paul Frank, D-Highland Park, is also thrilled the preserve will soon reopen. His district includes the area in Highland Park and Highwood where it is located. People have waited for a long time to use it again, he said.
