In 2023, the City of Warrenville, in partnership with the Warrenville Park District, submitted a planning initiative to complete park improvements at Cerny Park and apply for funding assistance through an OSLAD (Open Space and Land Acquisition Development) grant from the IDNR (IL Department of Natural Resources). In January 2024, this project was awarded $600,000 to complete Phase 1 of this project. In December 2024, the IDNR awarded an additional $600,000 to complete Phase 2.
