Improvements to Kosciuszko Park in Logan Square will be made possible through $1.85 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance approved by City Council today.

The funding will be used by the Chicago Park District to complete window and door renovations and other upgrades to the park’s field house at 2732 N. Avers Ave. Other work will include the reconstruction of ball fields and enhancements to the park’s playground. TIF will finance the entire cost of the project.

The park dates back to 1916 and is named for the Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish army officer and military engineer who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
