Over the next two months, the City will be contracting fencing repairs at the Robert Crown Athletic Fields. The project will involve replacing the existing fence fabrics with heavier-gauge materials to better withstand the high level of use at these fields.

Work is expected to begin in mid-September and be completed by October 2025. During construction, crews will make every effort to minimize disturbances, and all athletic fields will remain open for public use. While some inconveniences may occur, the City will work to reduce their impact on residents and visitors.

To accommodate construction activities, limited parking restrictions may be required at the northeast corner of the Crown parking lot. If needed, temporary “NO PARKING” signs will be posted at least 48 hours in advance.

The project’s general contractor is National Sports Nets, LLC., 1244 State St., STE 312, Lemont, IL.

Over the next four months, the City of Evanston will begin playground renovations at Twiggs Park. The project includes reconstruction of both the ages 2–5 and ages 5–12 playgrounds, along with paving upgrades, new amenities, and ADA accessibility improvements.

Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-September and is expected to be completed in January 2026. During this time, both playgrounds and portions of the asphalt paths will be closed to the public. While construction activities may cause some inconveniences for nearby residents, the City will work to minimize disruptions as much as possible.

Limited parking restrictions may also be required on adjacent roadways to accommodate construction. Temporary “NO PARKING” signs will be posted at least 48 hours in advance to notify residents of these restrictions.
