Leslie Park
In 2024, Leslie Park improvements were completed with a ribbon cutting ceremony in the summer with more than 250 in attendance. The new improvements included:
• A new playground divided into two separate areas specific to the 2-5 and 5-12 age groups, both featuring modern surfacing.
• Bag game, frisbee golf, and climbing rock features.
• Shaded outdoor gazebo.
• Decorative safety fencing between the play area and the street.
• An accessible fishing station.
• Path improvements with exercise stations.
• Native vegetation with interpretive signs for outdoor learning opportunities.
History:
Leslie Park was acquired in 1987 when Giainni Development Co. donated the land. In 1993 a lease agreement with the Village of Bloomingdale was approved, adding an additional six acres.
