Dear Residents,

It has been quite an active Winter here at the Lemont Park District. Our CORE Fitness and Aquatic Complex officially opened on December 19th and what a smashing success we had! At our 36-hour family open-house event that marked our inaugural weekend, close to 1,000 people experienced The CORE for free. Since then the CORE has been buzzing with Open Gyms & Swims, recreational basketball leagues, pool rentals, daycare, fitness classes, routine workouts and the registration of over 2,300 CORE Members!

Without the leadership of Executive Director, Brian Sullivan, the Lemont Park Board would not have been able to navigate the challenges of a multi-project referendum that brought The CORE to realization, as successfully as we did. This past March, we were saddened to learn that our Executive Director was leaving the district to accept the Director's position at the Morton Grove Park District. So we thank Brian for his service and wish him well in his new endeavor. We are proud to announce the appointment of Louise Egofske as our Executive Director. Louise brings 20 years of leadership experience from the operational finance/accounting sector. As many municipal forms of government are experiencing tremendous financial challenges, the Lemont Park Board is confident that this experience will pay dividends as we continue our journey with one eye on the future and the other on the bottom line.

Now Spring is in the air it’s time to get outside and enjoy the parks! From our new and improved tennis courts to our recently renovated ball fields, from Centennial Park to Covington North, from the hundreds of programs that are offered in this Memory Maker...we have something for everyone! So grab the family and take time for fun…making everlasting memories!

On Behalf of the Lemont Park Board,

Patrick Sexton, President
At the CORE of the Community
since 1966
