6 welcome u PARK DISTRICT NEWS u THE PARK BOARD ear Neighbors, KaBOOM! was the word this fall at the Round Lake Area Park District. Thanks to Discover Marketing Team, the Round Lake Community and hundreds of volunteers we were able to build a 5,000 square foot playground at the Sports Center located at 2004 Municipal Way Round Lake Beach. This playground will serve more than 300 area children throughout the year. Refer to page 84 for a listing of our community partners which helped this playground become a reality. Mission Statement The Mission of the Round Lake Area Park District is to promote healthy lifestyles through recreational programs, facilities and open spaces. Distinguished Agency The Round Lake Area Park District recently became the first ever state accredited agency with the Illinois Joint Distinguished Parks and Recreation Agency Program. This program utilizes a total of 157 standards with 372 evidences of compliances in six sections of agency operation and management. In the past, only 36 of 350 park districts, parks and recreational departments and forest preserves held that distinction. Speaking of thanks, thank you to all of you who supported our Corn Maze at Richardson s Adventure farm. Hope all of you have found yourselves out of the maze by now. Richardson s Adventure Farm and your Round Lake Area Park District received the Best Friend of Illinois Parks Award through the Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD). It is always nice when the state recognizes how strong our community support is in making these partnerships possible. Meteorologists predict a cold snowy winter this year. Although I am not an expert, I can predict a few things here at the Round Lake Area Park District. For starters, we have indoor soccer, basketball, volleyball, indoor climbing wall, batting cages and adult leagues to keep everyone active this winter. And of course, it would not be winter if I did not mention our sled hill located off of Hart Road. See page 6 for more information. Whatever it is that you choose to do this winter please be safe and stay active. I encourage you to read our fitness tips on page 23 and take advantage of our Value Menu of Opportunities on page 1 where nothing is over $15. Take care and we will see you soon at our Holiday Fest on December 4th! Bob Newport Executive Director Round Lake Area Park District The Park Board Barbara Daudelin President Jennifer Blum Vice President Paul Hollingsworth Treasurer Tim Pasternak Commissioner Christine Gentes Commissioner Board Meetings - The Park District Board of Commissioners typically meet the second Thursday of each month; occasionally the fourth Thursday as well.
