The parks keep coming

Morris Memorial Park finally received its proper dedication, Feb. 24, after several weather delays, resetting focus onto Elgin’s other upcoming open-space renovations.

The third attempt at celebrating the new playground saw city officials, park representatives and plenty of Elgin’s youth come out to enjoy the grounds and recognize all of the hard work that goes into bettering the city.

“We are excited to provide a new play experience for kids of all ages. This is the second new playground in Elgin since 2020, and we continue to prioritize making accessibility and creative play a priority for our community,” said Mayor Theresa McShan.
