LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Residents, Friends, and Neighbors:
While 2020 definitely hasn’t been the easiest year on record, it seems as though we are
all coming out the other side stronger and more aware. We have faced challenges and fears
that no one could have predicted, and we have done so together. We are so very thankful for
the enthusiastic support from our residents, the Village of La Grange Park, La Grange Park
Chamber, and local businesses.
Committed to protecting our community’s physical, emotional, and fiscal health, our
board and staff have worked diligently this past year to provide safe and innovative new pro-
gramming, improve our internal systems, enhance our safety practices, and increase outreach
to our residents. As we enter the new year, we have a lot of exciting work ahead.
In 2021, the Community Park District will ramp up our long-term strategic planning ef-
forts to address capital improvements across the entire district. This process will include en-
gaging our community in focus groups, planning sessions, surveys, and more. If you’d like to be
involved, please email jcannaday@communityparkdistrict.org.
This spring, we are breaking ground on an exciting project in Memorial Park. Thanks to
a grant from the National Fitness Campaign and a generous $25,000 donation from La Grange
Park’s own Strive 4 Fitness, the park district will be making significant improvements to the
multi-purpose court area in Memorial Park. Designed to increase outdoor physical activity
opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, improvements include the installation of three
pickleball courts, tetherball, a ga-ga ball pit, and a state-of-the-art outdoor fitness court.
We are proud to present the following Winter/Spring programs for you and your families
to enjoy. Again, the opportunities contained herein have been carefully created to keep our
residents active and connected in safe and fun ways. Please continue to visit www.communi-
typarkdistrict.org and follow us on www.facebook.com/communityparkdistrict for the most
up-to-date information.
GENERAL INFORMATION 6 Support Fitness For Everyone In La Grange Park! This spring, the Community Park District will break ground on an exciting project designed to bring expanded FREE fitness and recreational opportunities to the residents of La Grange Park. The Memo- rial Park Multi-Use Court Renovation project will include the installation of a state-of-the-art outdoor fitness court, three pickleball courts, Ga-Ga Ball Pit, Tether Ball, mini racetrack and more. Download the full plan here. Funding This project has been made possible in part due to a generous $25,000 donation from Strive 4 Fitness, a $30,000 grant from the National Fitness Campaign, and capital funding from a $325,000 non-refer- endum general obligation bond. The Park District would like to raise an additional $50,000 to support this project! Donations will help fund tennis court resurfacing, pickleball fencing, fence repairs, and landscaping improvements. How You Can Help: 1. Make an easy, anonymous donation by clicking here and support this project today! 2. Have your family’s name or business featured on the fitness court!
