Kewanee Park Board discusses expansions


By The Kewanee Voice    July 28, 2026

The Kewanee Park District earlier this month approved an alternate-revenue bond issue for the planned expansion of the 19th Hole clubhouse at Baker Park.

Parks Supt. Andrew Dwyer said park officials plan for construction of the addition to begin this fall, and be completed next year.

The expansion includes construction of a meeting room addition which can accommodate hundreds of diners and could be rented for special events. The existing clubhouse facilities will also be expanded, and a new parking lot along 11th Street is part of the plan.

Dwyer said also said a problem with the water valve at the new Liberty Park splash pad has been resolved. The original valve was broken, he said, and now has been replaced.
