4 genevaparks.org | 630-232-4542President’s Message President’s Message 2021 Who would have known a year ago that COVID-19 would have such an impact on our world? Our staff performed amazing feats throughout the unprecedented year of lockdowns and ever-changing government and health guidelines. Knowing recreational opportunities are essential, staff worked creatively to meet the ever-evolving needs of the community despite the multitude of challenges. Some of those creative opportunities included: • Curating a collection of over 150 games, activities and resources through the virtual platform “Live Your BestLife at Home” • Providing a variety of virtual programs including Esport Leagues and Playhouse 38 Radio Productions • Re-designing special events including Concerts, Movies, 5K Races, Autumn Fair, Halloween Events, and Christmas Celebrations which collectively reached thousands of participants • Opening both aquatic facilities while introducing a collection of mandatory safety guidelines • Creatively implementing safety strategies to open both BestLife Fitness locations immediately upon permission • Holding a successful, and safe, summer camp program without deviating from the schedule Even through the pandemic, we were able to make exciting improvements to our parks and facilities, including: • Acquired funds from ‘Rebuild Illinois’ for drainage work at Island Park to help water recede faster from flooding • Lions Park tennis courts were renovated with Pickleball lines added • North Peck Farm was completed, and 50 trees were planted in the Oak Savanna in celebration of Arbor Day, 2021 • Sunset Community Center received renovations and redesign of its parking and front entry, with a special focus on ADA compliancy • New signage placed throughout the district including a more modern design at Sunset Community Center, as well as, updated neighborhood park signs The Geneva Park District is continuously guided by our Core Values; these values have been the keystone to all accomplishments throughout the COVID-19 pandemic: Customer Commitment Responsible Leadership Fiscal Responsibility Safety Community Collaboration Innovation Stewardship & Sustainability It has been an honor and a blessing to serve this wonderful community. Words cannot express my gratitude for and pride of the outstanding staff and volunteers, including my fellow commissioners. Sincerely, Susan VanderVeen Park Board President Fall 2021 5
