EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville Township Supervisor Frank Miles announced the appointment of the Township’s Park Development Commission to guide the future development of Edwardsville Township Community Park, located at 6368 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville.
“Over the past four years, we have worked extremely hard to update the existing infrastructure at Township Park,” said Supervisor Miles, addressing the Township Board at the September 26, 2017, meeting of the Edwardsville Township Board of Trustees. “We have resurfaced the tennis courts, renovated the two existing restrooms to be energy efficient and to be ADA accessible, and installed the All Seasons Restroom to provide year-round access to restroom facilities in the park. We increased our use of renewable energy sources with the addition of our Solar Panel, PEV Charger, and Solar Powered Water Heater. Finally, the restoration of the US Navy A7 Corsair on display in the park is nearly complete.”
