Park opening set, again

It's take two on the grand opening of the renovated College Green Park. A few weeks ago, a ceremony for the site on College Green Drive near Muirfield Circle and west of McLean Boulevard was delayed because of wet conditions. But neighbors and others are welcome between noon and 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, to view the improvements, eat hot dogs, drink soda and play games. For details, call (847) 931-6788.
