Paulus Park Amphitheater - Thoughts?

   

Amphitheater Concept - Feedback Encouraged

 

The Village is working with the Hitchcock Design Group to prepare a grant application for improvements to Paulus Park. 

 

A long-talked about project that was identified in the 2011 Open Space Master Plan was an open-air amphitheater with a band-shell and stage for Paulus Park.  Staff has identified a Open Space and Land Acquisition (OSALD) grant that would help fund this park improvement project if the Village receives it.  This grant is a reimbursement program for up to 50% of project costs. 

 

The Village of Lake Zurich is interested in obtaining public input in regards to the improvements.  Please click below to give your feedback on this project.
