Orland Park breaks ground on huge ‘downtown' with new restaurants, shops, parks to come
A giant new business and entertainment district is coming to downtown Orland Park, with more than 140,000 square feet of new restaurants and bars, retail, fitness and daycare centers and more.
Officials broke ground Thursday morning on the $120 million development in the southwest suburbs, according to a release. In addition to retail, it's set to include the expansion and renaming of local park Crescent Park to Heroes Park, which will serve as the "central hub" for the new downtown district with farmers markets, summer concerts, winter ice skating and a pedestrian walkway to come, according to organizers.
