Skokie’s future looks greener and more active—if voters say yes to a $53 million bond referendum this November. The plan turns a forgotten asphalt lot into Channelside Park South, while upgrading Skokie Sports Park and Sports Park East with a recreation center, trails, a splash pad, multi-sport courts, and more. A slim 54% majority in a survey backs the project, but critics warn voters need clearer language on the ballot and argue the land could better serve the community through affordable housing. If approved, property taxes will rise starting in 2027—with a $1 million home paying an extra $37.90 annually—and construction could begin as early as spring 2027, wrapping up in two years.
