COMMUNITY PRIDE

The Village of Orland Park is proud to partner with the Kendall and Michael Schofield Family Foundation in the improvement and redevelopment of the Village’s Schussler Park. Michael Schofield III and Kendall Coyne Schofield were in attendance at the May 15th Village of Orland Park Board Meeting where the sponsorship was announced, and unanimously approved. The primary features of this redevelopment will include a Phase I installation of two full-size artificial turf fields on the east side of Schussler park for football/soccer/ lacrosse use, including a scoreboard, coaches’ box, bleachers, storage buildings and parking lot improvements. As well as a sledding hill in the northwest corner of the park.

Additional park amenities, include an inclusive playground, open pavilion, restroom facilities and half basketball court which will be provided in phase II. The Kendall and Michael Schofield Family Foundation will be recognized with signage on the athletic field’s scoreboard recognizing the venue as the Michael Schofield III Sports Complex; and a sign near the inclusive playground including life-size cutouts of Michael Schofield III and Kendall Coyne Schofield from youth through adulthood to inspire Orland Park youth to dream big.

The Orland Crossing mural designed by Orland Park resident Melanie Vazquez was unveiled on May 18. She was the winner of a contest with over 60 submissions. Visit the mural at Orland Crossing (14225 95th Avenue, Orland Park)
