The Lombard Board of Park Commissioners made history by approving a $9.5 million project to build an athletic center on the former Fairwood School site at the southwest corner of Madison Meadow.

- Two large multi-purpose rooms
- A babysitting room
- A 4,800-square-foot fitness center and locker rooms
