Just announced Daily Herald -

As part of a Open Land Redevelopment Grant, the DuPage County Forest Preserve District will receive $252,000 to redevelop a former 12-acre swimming beach at Blackwell Forest Preserve near Warrenville. Planned improvements include a public archery range, a shelter, fishing pier, trail head access to a regional bike trail system and parking lot upgrades.

Anybody understand this? Was the old beach really 12 acres? Are they improving what is already there or building new?

I thought they closed it due to the land fill effecting the water? I remember just starting to fish there when they closed the beach.
