SCHILDT PARK PROJECT

Schildt Park to Undergo Improvement Project in 2026

We are excited to share that funding was approved in the 2026 Village of Fox Crossing Budget and Schildt Park will soon undergo a series of improvements, designed to enhance its recreational offerings and accessibility.  These planned upgrades will ultimately create a more enjoyable experience for all park users.

In conjunction with this project, the Village’s Public Works Department will be constructing a stormwater pond within the park area.  This infrastructure improvement will allow the Village to meet DNR requirements, help manage water runoff more effectively, and support local drainage needs.

Planned park updates include:

    • Pickleball Courts
    • Full-Size Basketball Court
    • Playground Replacement 
    • Walking Trails
    • Sledding Hill
    • Pavilion Improvements
    • Remove Granary Building
    • Re-pave Parking Lot and Trails

While we do not have a project timeline quite yet, work is expected to begin in spring and take much of the year to complete. To ensure the project moves as quickly as possible, the majority of Schildt Park will be unavailable for use in 2026.

New Playground

As part of the Schildt Park project, the current playground will be removed and replaced.  The new playground will have a surfacing that is 100% poured-in-place rubber (no wood chips).
