The nearly 21 acre park was purchased by the Village in two stages with the last coming in 2012. Many improvements have been completed since that time including a berm to shield the lights and noise from the adjacent Tollway’s Lake Forest Oasis, removal of buckthorn and dead trees, eradication of invasive species such as teasel, and the seeding of native grasses and other plantings. A grant from the Lake County Storm Water Management Agency was received in 2017 and the northern area of the park was improved with native vegetation and swales to control stormwater. The nearby Mettawa Trail adjacent to Bradley Road was moved away from the road through the park in 2018.

It is located as property #3 on the Parks, Trails and Open Space map.
