Message from the
Executive Director

Dear Friends of Wood Dale Park District;                        We’d like to know you by name.
A 2019 survey by Cigna uncovered a startling statistic,         Also, if you have an idea for a
that 61% of those surveyed are lonely. This is up from          passive or active program,
54% in 2018. Research says that this is due to not enough       activity or trip, no matter how
social support, poor physical and mental health, and not        obscure, talk to us. Let’s work
enough balance in our lives (doing too much or too little       together to combat loneliness
of any given thing such as sleep or work). The isolation        and have some fun!
during the pandemic perpetuated this problem.
One way to combat loneliness is to find community. Finding      All the Best,
“your people” through activities, clubs, and informal get-
togethers is not only enjoyable, but it can also provide
measurable health benefits such as lower rates of anxiety,
higher self-esteem, empathy, and trust, decreased blood
pressure, cortisol and inflammation, reduced risk of heart      Matthew L. Ellmann
disease and cognitive decline, and improved immune              Executive DIrector
function and sleep.
If you are of a certain age, you probably remember
the sitcom, Cheers, also known as the place “where
everybody knows your name”. Whenever Norm Peterson
entered Cheers, he was enthusiastically greeted by name,
and he immediately felt a sense of belonging that erased
the strife of the day. The theme song touts “making it in the
world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break
from all your worries sure would help a lot”. We believe
that to be true and we hope you find something in this
brochure to help you do just that.
When you come to our facilities, please introduce yourself!

                                                                                     www.wdparks.org   5
