The fitness attraction — “exercise equipment and an uneven bars obstacle course” — was installed on some unused tennis courts without a permit or the Park District’s authorization. It was positioned by O’Neill as a preview of a proposed $3 million “fitness park” for which the conservancy solicited donations and corporate sponsorships, also without approval from the Park District. O’Neill presented the sponsorship campaign at a joint meeting of the conservancy and advisory council, “which raised the risk of misleading the public that the Park District was behind (the) fundraising efforts,” according to the report.
