Woodland Waterfall Ribbon
Cutting
Sun, May 19, 12-1pm
Join us as we cut the ribbon for the beautifully
restored Woodland Waterfall feature. On June 29,
long- time Oak Park resident Dr. Audrey L. Kouvel
presented a generous $54,000 donation to the Parks
Foundation of Oak Park to restore the historic
Woodland Waterfall Garden located in the southeast
corner of the two acre grounds of Cheney Mansion.
This significant landscape element is more than 100
years old, and has not been in working order for more
than 30 years. Once completed, this restored element
will enhance the already stunning grounds of Cheney
Mansion.
Happy Birthday Cheney
