The Lincolnway Special Recreation Center (LWSRC) is a first of its kind facility to be built by a special recreation association from the ground up. Thanks to the $2.5 million from the Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) grant from the Illinois DNR, the dream of an accessible recreation center for our community became a reality. The total cost of the building is $4.5 Million. Thanks to capital funds, grant money and donations construction was completed in March of 2014. The LWSRC Grand Opening Celebration was held June 21, 2014.
The LWSRC is located on Heatherglen Dr. (near Laraway Rd. and Schoolhouse Rd.) in New Lenox, inside the Heatherglen Subdivision. Amenities include four multi-purpose rooms, a learning kitchen, gymnasium with wheelchair-friendly floor, a therapeutic garden, a wheelchair softball field and office space for the Association.
