The Barrington Hills Park District will be hosting a special meeting tonight with the Cook County Forest Preserve District to discuss the Master Plan for the Horizon Farm property. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM at the Riding Center located at 361 Bateman Rd, and will also be available for participation via Webex remotely.
The meeting agenda for the Forest Preserve District portion of the discussion includes:
- Open trails
- Ongoing improvements
Then, the 2023 Horizon Farm master planning priorities follows including:
- Track
- Barn 11
- Other amenities (parking lots, comfort stations, signage, etc.)
- Maintenance of future Horizon trail system
- Spring Creek trail system
Conspicuously absent from the agenda are topics such as hiking and walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing and birding.
After this portion of the meeting, Park District Commissioners will vote on the proposed (and clearly confidential), “Combined Budget & Appropriations Ordinance 2-08-2023-01.”
