North Center's Revere Park would receive $1.5 million in field house improvements through a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) proposal introduced to City Council today by Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

The funds would be used by the Chicago Park District to implement heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades to ongoing improvements at the fieldhouse, which anchors the park at 2509 W. Irving Park Road.

Revere Park, located at Rockwell Avenue and Irving Park Road, dates to 1921. Its recreational amenities include four ball fields, walking paths, tennis courts and a playground. Nearly 4,000 visitors utilize the field house on a regular basis for various park programs.

The TIF assistance would be allocated from the Western Avenue South TIF district.
