PRESIDENT LETTER<br />
ROSELLE PARK DISTRICT (P) 630.894-4200 (F) 630.894.5610<br />
Dear Neighbors,<br />
It is going to be a great summer in Roselle’s parks! We hope you will enjoy one of our many<br />
program activities in our parks, a dip in Kemmerling pool, or just a quiet stroll along one of<br />
our many paths.<br />
We have been working diligently on a strategic plan for the Roselle Park District. Th ank you<br />
to all who participated in our focus groups and to the almost 700 folks who responded to<br />
our survey. Your response rate tells us you are interested in your park district and that you<br />
want to make your views known. It will be several months yet before the strategic plan is<br />
fi nalized. If you have additional thoughts as to the future direction of the District’s facilities<br />
and programs, please contact us by sending an email to our Director at rward@rparks.org,<br />
call our Director at (630)894-4200, or stop by one of the Park Board meetings.<br />
Although we have been enjoying an early and fabulous spring, many of our residents missed<br />
skating on turner Pond this winter, because the pond never froze well. Oh, well, there is<br />
always next year. And we are ready! Did you notice the new lights at Turner Pond and the<br />
seating/shelter area located on the east side of the pond? We are VERY thankful to the late<br />
Frank Kehoe of Fulton Contracting, a Roselle business that donated the poles and lights.<br />
Frank and his late wife Corrine were long time friends of the Roselle community and the<br />
Roselle Park District. Th ey donated the big-league lights at the Miracle Field at Parkside Park<br />
a number of years ago. Th ey were a part of what makes Roselle a great community.<br />
On behalf of the Roselle Park District and elected offi cials, a heart-felt thank you is extended<br />
to BMO Harris Bank and Itasca Bank & Trust, who helped make the Bounce Back to School<br />
and Daddy|Daughter Night, a resounding success. You touched over 300 children and their<br />
families.<br />
Th e Roselle Park District has been awarded a DCEO grant in the amount of $50,000. We will<br />
use this grant money toward the replacement and expansion of the playground adjacent<br />
to the Clauss Recreation Center. Th e new play equipment will not only provide new play<br />
opportunities for all park users but some of it will be sized to benefi t the many preschoolers<br />
who participate in the District’s pre-school programs. Th e plans are complete. We are<br />
awaiting fi nal approval by the State of Illinois. Installation of the new equipment is expected<br />
early this summer.<br />
Do you know about our new on-line registration system? Check out our programs and<br />
