From the Park Board President
Dear fellow Lake Bluff Residents:
This November, over 70 percent of you voted in favor of a referendum supporting much-
needed repairs and improvements in our parks. I am incredibly thankful for your support
and proud to live in a community that recognizes the vital role parks and recreation play. The
referendum funds will allow us to provide you with the highest quality of services that Lake
Bluff deserves.
Once again, I want to thank the hundreds of residents who joined our citizen committees and
task forces to help make this happen. In addition, the Board of Commissioners would like to
thank the Friends of Lake Bluff Parks for coordinating fundraising efforts towards the Beach
bathrooms and stairs. Thank you to all generous businesses and donors.
Since November, we haven’t skipped a beat. The Park District retained FGM Architects for
the Aquatic Facility and Beach House, Upland Design for the Beach Stairs and Landscape,
ACG, Inc. for the Recreation Roof, and W.B. Olson as the Construction Manager. The Park
District will apply for an OSLAD grant specifically for Artesian Park parking lot, tennis
courts, paths and playground so construction will not take place until 2017.
As we will work to develop an efficient, considerate plan outlining our next steps, we will be
sure to update the Park District website so residents can learn more about the status of each
project. As always, feel free to get in touch with me or any other member of your Board with
questions.
I look forward to what's to come in 2015!
Best regards,
Kevin Considine, Board President
