The Wesley Township Board and a corps of volunteers have done more to develop the riverfront park that was gifted to the township than could be accomplished with any grant award. A to-do list will see even more improvements this year, which will help secure Rivals Lookout Park’s place as a destination for recreation.
Merlin Karlock, of Bourbonnais, donated the former Rivals Club site to the township in 2009. Karlock had purchased the property and cleaned it up — he removed dilapidated buildings, rusted out campers, garbage, old brush piles and dead trees.
