Chicago Park District Superintendent Michael P. Kelly and Alderman Ariel Reboyras (30th) announced plans for significant improvements to the tennis courts and track at Riis Park, 6100 West Fullerton Avenue. Upgrades will include a rehabilitation of the tennis courts and replacing the current cinder track with a new asphalt running track. In addition to summer tennis camp, the ten tennis courts at Riis Park are also home to Special Olympics Tennis that serves more than 200 participants citywide in competitive matches. Construction is slated to begin by year’s end and is expected to be complete in summer 2018. “I am pleased that these improvements are coming to Riis Park and the 30th ward,” Alderman Reboyras said. “The Riis Park Striders, Special Olympic Tennis athletes and members of the community will make great use of the updated facilities.” Riis Park is a notable green space in the Belmont Cragin community that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
