History:
The property was originally purchased in 1963 and named after its previous occupant, Crestview School. The original purchase was for 7.47 acres; additional acreage was purchased from the School District through OSLAD funds in 1971 and 1980. In a combined effort by the Park District, the homeowners' association, and community clubs, the Crestview recreational building was built and dedicated in 1970, with an addition to the building in 1975. A playground was built in 1989 and two tennis courts were converted to two roller hockey courts in the late 1990s. The playground was renovated in 2005.
