Child's remains found near Garfield Park, police say

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Police have closed Garfield Park after a child's remains were discovered in a lagoon there.

Police say someone made an initial discovery late Saturday afternoon on the 200-block of McCrea Drive.

Officers then conducted a search, which lead to the discovery of more remains.

"I'm just still overwhelmed to hear that, kids are supposed to come into a park and play - not be found dead. That's terrible," said Lovia Hoyt, who lives near the park.

Police have closed the park as marine unit investigators continue to search the area.
