2015-16 Winter - Mt. Prospect Park District
Welcome to WINTER As President of the Park District Board of Commissioners I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my fellow board members and share with you the role of the board within the Park District. The seven members of your Board of Commissioners are all long time residents of the Park District. Speaking for myself, I have lived in the district for 54 years. At one time or another, I believe, I have used almost every facility in the Park District. My fellow Commissioners are also very active within the District utilizing many facilities and programs themselves and with their families. We are all passionate about the role of the Park District in the lives of our residents. The Board of Commissioners is elected by the residents and oversees the general finances and operations of the Park District. We hire the Executive Director, the CEO if you wish, who is then responsible for staffing and the day to day operations of the district. One of our most important functions is budget approval and oversight. The board works with the Executive Director and staff members to ensure that projects such as new parks and facilities, new equipment and major repairs and renovations are completed after being thoroughly evaluated and competitively bid. We want to make sure we get the most bang for our buck and provide you and your family with quality parks and programs. Steve Kurka Board of Commissioners President I encourage you to attend a meeting or two throughout the year to become acquainted with how your Park District operates and what lies ahead for 2016. We value resident input and would welcome your thoughts.

Join the pickleball craze! Pickleball, a game that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, is sweeping the country. Pickleball players use wooden paddles and whiffle balls to play on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. This low-impact sport is easier on the knees and shoulders than tennis as it does not involve as much running or arm strength. Pickleball is a recreational game that is designed to encourage an active lifestyle. We are offering two levels of beginner classes for interested seniors who want to play this easy-to-learn game.
