Lastly, it will be important to keep in mind that the thoughtful use of the Park District’s resources (including financial resources and professional staff time) is key to achieving good results. The District has a long-standing reputation for high standards in its services and facilities. High standards and strong expectations require staff, time, expertise and resources. In the end, thoughtful policies and quality implementation equate to tough choices in advancing priorities and allocating resources. In the Park District’s ever-changing operating environment, adapting to new interests, emerging demographics, community trends and technology advancements will be vital to success. The strategic plan is meant to serve as a road map for the Park District with the flexibility to adapt to those changes. Therefore, it is recommended that the Park District undertake a regular review (quarterly or semi-annually) of the strategic plan, its goals and implementation schedule to identify the need for updates. Keeping the plan in the forefront will help mark progress, make room for modifications, and ensure that the Park District consistently adapts to the changes in community needs and the environment it operates within. The Park District remains fortunate to have progressive leadership and a management team that keeps looking ahead and remains committed to strategic thinking and planning.
We wish you well with the ambitious years that lie ahead.
