Recreation District Board
of Commissioners
Message from Ron Salski,
Executive Director
The Mundelein Park and Recreation District continues to
focus on our patrons’ safety with all our programs, facilities,
and services. As we navigate the future, the District is ready
to adapt and adjust while providing a quality park system.
We delayed some key administrative projects such as a
community-wide survey and the strategic plan and specific
Jesus (Jesse) Ortega capital maintenance expenses while looking for opportunities
President
to strengthen our park system.
Some high points include:
• Golf rounds have been steady despite challenging guidelines.
• Dance participation remains strong through innovative virtual programs and a
planned virtual dance recital.
• Diamond Lake Beach and Spray Park have renewed popularity.
• Tennis courts were full daily.
We will continue to follow the Governor’s Restore Illinois guidelines, so please visit our
Wallace Frasier website to view the most recent updates. We’ve noticed more people experiencing our
Vice President many beautiful parks. We encourage our residents to walk our paths, enjoy our new
Asbury Park playground or resurfaced tennis/basketball courts.
We decided to print and deliver the fall brochure since residents continually value the
physical copy. Look for the fall brochure in your mailbox in early August.
Highlights include:
• An expanded youth basketball program for boys and girls (page 30–31)
• A continuation of the extremely popular Porch Parties (page 13)
Pat McGrath • Restructured Fall Special events to ensure your safety (page 14–15)
Treasurer • Spanish programs for children (page 21–22)
• Virtual cooking classes and cake camps (page 24)
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we thank you for your patience during this
challenging time. Your virtual and on-site participation plays a crucial role in moving
the Mundelein Park & Recreation District forward.
