Encroaching Property #1, which was one of the most blatant encroachment upon Park District property.
Encroaching Property #1is still in the permit review process. The property owner will be removing whatever objects are encroaching on Park District property.
Encroaching Property #1closed and the previous owners vacated the property.
Encroaching Property #1has been removed from Park District property. The result is that a 25 x 115 foot swath of land has been returned to the public after almost 50 years of being squandered by an adjacent residential property.
Encroaching Property #1.
Friends of the Winston Park Greenway
Starting in the early 1970s, the Palatine residents who live on the west side of David Drive in the Winston Park neighborhood began laying claim upon publicly-owned Park District property by constructing fences, building play structures & gardens, and mowing the natural vegetation that had been growing along the North Branch of the Salt Creek.
The amount of land encroached upon varies between each property, but a 40 foot wide encroachment is typical. One parcel is encroaching a full 150 feet into Palatine Park District property.
To put it bluntly, these adjacent property owners want a part of our beloved Maple Park for themselves, at the expense of the enjoyment of the greenway by others. (I do acknowlege that in most cases, the fences were built by the original owners, who have long since sold the properties to unsuspecting newer owners.)
This unauthorized use of publicly owned land by private land owners must stop. I am asking that the adjacent property owners immediately remove all manmade objects from the Palatine Park District property, as well as to stop mowing down the vegetation.

Please submit a message on the Contact form if the status of these encroachments have changed. Nothing would please me more than to remove parcels from this page which are no longer encroaching on the Winston Park greenway.
