Beautiful weather welcomed approximately 40 friends and neighbors at
our annual picnic at Schiller Woods on Saturday, July 29th. Competitive
games for both adults and children were part of the festivities, liquid
refreshments were provided free of charge, and the SVIA grill was
available for those cooking their own food. 

It was so a pleasure to see
how a new generation, once themselves children at the picnic, now are
bringing their own children to the same annual picnic. A lot of the older
children were also interacting with and watching over the younger
children as well.

It makes us all feel that we are part of a great organization!
Pictures can be viewed to the right.

It has been announced that the second installment property tax bills for
Tax year 2022 are expected to be available to property owners by
November 1, 2023. Nearly 1.8 million tax bills are expected to be
released online and by mail by early November with a due date of
December 1, 2023.

Property tax bills are mailed to owners twice a year in two installments
and involve several processes and system stakeholders to ensure they
are delivered efficiently and accurately. The COVID-19 pandemic,
coupled with a critical overhaul of the technological backbone of the
system, has had a dramatic impact on the County’s property tax
processes and timelines. County officials will continue to work
closely with taxing bodies and property owners to keep them informed
of key dates.

Two parks in the 38th Ward are set to get pickleball courts and have
their tennis courts redone. Shabbona Park, 6935 W. Addison St., and
Portage Park, 4100 N. Long Ave., will soon have pickleball courts and
fresh tennis courts, Ald. Nick Sposato (38th) announced earlier this year.
Shabbona Park’s courts could be installed in early summer, and Portage Park’s courts should be installed after that, Sposato said.

Shabbona will have three tennis courts and four pickleball courts after
the changes, according to the design of the project shared with Block
Club. The park has five tennis courts, but they have missing nets, holes
in the turf and crumbling infrastructure. The project will upgrade three of the courts and replace two of them with the pickleball courts. The pickleball design for Portage Park, which has six tennis courts that each have nets, is still being planned, and a proposed design should be unveiled to the community in early summer, Tostado said.

The improvements are funded by the Chicago Recovery Program and are
part of the Park District’s capital planning plan, which lists park improvements citywide. The projects were set to be concluded by last
year, but delays caused in part by worker strikes, financial woes and
other projects pushed them to this year, Sposato said. “The parks are pretty beat up and need a major face lift all over the 50 wards and in the 38th Ward,” Sposato said. The courts at both parks will need a one-month curing period once asphalt is poured, Sposato said. The improvements will be an added benefit to Far Northwest Siders, he said. “Everybody is into pickleball these days,” Sposato said.

As pickleball sees a boom in popularity, the Park District announced a
plan last fall to build 50 pickleball courts by 2025, bringing the city’s
pickleball court count to more than 100.

The Chicago Park District site currently lists “Pickleball at Shabbona”
with a September 11, 2023 date.
