         With the Master Plan now adopted, it is time to move forward setting our sights on the next five years! Recently, the board approved
    a debt restructuring allowing the Park District to secure $1,100,000 for capital improvements with no direct financial impact to our
    residents. The goal with this money is to complete three major projects: Century East Park Updates, Hanover Estates Park Development
    and an update to the Hansen Community Center.

    All three of these items have been identified as top project priorities and the order in which they are accomplished will depend heavily on
    grant funding. In total, all three projects combined are estimated at approximately $3,100,000. In order to accomplish all three projects
    with the limited funds secured, staff will be working diligently to receive grants over the next few years through the State of Illinois and
    other possible opportunities.

    With these major capital projects potentially on the horizon, our number one overall operational priority continues to be programming
    and improved services to the community. As you have seen over the past couple of years, specifically the last six months, staff has done a
    tremendous job in offering creative and quality programs. Our guides continue to be our primary source of marketing and communication
    for programs, along with several other methods of communication as periodic reminders of upcoming programs and events.

    As we heard from the community, program cancellations are a concern of ours as well. Staff realize that a lack of confidence in programs
    due to cancellations causes a tremendous uphill battle to get programs up and running! We want nothing more than to see a thriving
    program base for our residents. We are asking for your help and support in assisting us with this goal in three ways:

     1   Seek the Manhattan Park District seasonal guide first!
     2   Sign up early and encourage others to do the same!
     3   Assist in spreading the word about programs that you are interested in!

    Your continued support and assistance will help us achieve our goal which is to provide you, the residents of Manhattan Park District, the
    highest quality programs, facilities and services possible.

    Please, take the time to look inside this guide and see all the wonderful offerings including a variety of
    options for full day and half day Summer Camps!

    We are proud to represent you and continue to be very excited about the future of Your Park District!
