Commemorative Brick Sales For Apollo Park Reconstruction End Soon

ALSIP, IL -- Good things are happening at Alsip's Apollo Park. The Alsip Park District has created a commemorative brick program with sales going toward much needed repairs at Apollo Park. The deadline to purchase bricks is April 1.

This spring, the park will be receiving new rocket-themed play equipment. The driveways entering the recreation center will also undergo some much-needed work. And, the park district will be creating a new seating area between the electronic marquee and the flagpole.

To complement new seating area, park district has created a brick program. Purchase a brick to help support the renovation of Apollo Park. Have your name, family's name or promote your business, memorialize a loved one or honor a soldier or service person. It's a great way for Alsipians to show their community support. The brick donations will become permanent part of the Alsip Park District's Apollo Park renovation. Three sizes are being offered:

• $75.00 for a 4x7
• $150.00 for 7x8
• $250.00 for 8.5x14

Special characters can be added for an additional $5 (two per brick). The Alsip Park District reserves the right to edit text. Bricks will be installed in the coming months between the electronic marquee and flagpole on front of the Apollo Recreation Center. Checks should be made payable to the Alsip Park District and sent to the attention of Jeanette Huber, Director of Parks and Recreation, 12521 S. Kostner, Alsip, IL.
