What’s Happening at the Alsip Park District
Congratulations to Commissioners Jackie Becker, Kathy Perretta and Jairo Gutierrez!
Commissioner Jackie Becker Commissioner Kathy Perretta Commissioner Jairo Gutierrez
Re-elected for a 4-year term Re-elected for a 4-year term Elected for a 2-year term
On April 6, 2021, two Board Members were re-elected for a four-year term and one Board Member was elected
for a two-year term. Congratulations! We thank you four time and dedication to the Alsip Park District.
The Park Board of Commissioners are dedicated to serving our community!
Did you know that by purchasing a youth license plate through the State of Illinois
that a portion of your fee goes to youth before and after school programming?
The Alsip Park District offers a Before and After School Program for our community.
We are excited to announce that we have been awarded a $1,000.00 grant
through the Illinois Association of Park Districts to continue to support
our Before and After School Program.
We are excited to share that a new rest area is being added along the Cal-Sag
Trail at 127th and Route 83 thanks to the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, Toni
Grimes, CarMarc Realty. Thanks to a $5,000.00 grant we are able to add a nice
resting area along the Cal-Sag Trail that includes a game style picnic table to play
a game of chess/checkers, a bike rack, a trash can, a pet waste station and a
community sign board. Additional landscape is also being added to beautify the
area. We hope that you will enjoy this area as you explore the Cal-Sag Trail.
We are proud to partner with the Village of Alsip’s Public Works
Department to offer an Alsip Tree Walk along the walking path
behind the Aquatic Park. In cooperation with Great Lakes Urban
Forestry Management, an additional twenty trees will be planted in
this area and include an interpretive feature that will allow users to
scan from their mobile devices to learn about each tree including its
size, species, and Scientific name. A link will also be available to
obtain additional information. This will be a great educational
opportunity for our community.
The Apollo Recreation Center will soon be under redevelopment. Through the Park and
Recreational Facility Construction Act (PARC) grant program, part of the Governor’s Rebuild
Illinois capital program, the Alsip Park District was awarded a $2,500,000.00 grant for the
redevelopment of this facility. This project will expand the existing facility to include an indoor
walking track, an additional multi-purpose gymnasium, an expanded fitness center, an indoor
playground, additional program spaces including senior/teen areas, and seating in the
existing gymnasium. Additional information is expected to be available later this summer. We
are proud to offer this opportunity to our community!
The Alsip Park District is a proud member of South West Special Recreation Association (SWSRA).
SWSRA’s main offices are located in the Apollo Recreation Center.

We Love Parents BUT...
Parents are encouraged to attend their child s first day
of class. Please do not remain in the gym after you have
dropped your child off. This is in the best interest of
your child. nterruptions tend to affect the participant s
attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer
relationships. It’s also important to arrive on time so
participants can participate in a proper warm up and
stretching. Please do not use class time to speak to your
child s instructor. nstructors are available before and
after class if you wish to speak with them. Thank you for
your cooperation
