Lemont Park District Develops Next Steps Of Master Plan

LEMONT, IL — The Lemont Park District continues to develop its comprehensive master plan, and has now received the results of a community survey taken by residents in 2019.

In October, the park district launched a program called "Make Your Park District!" and gathered feedback and information from residents. The district said it received over 500 replies to the surveys sent to random homes in Lemont, and received nearly 300 replies from residents via the park district website and paper copies.

All of the results can be seen online at the park district website's transparency portal.

“The Lemont Park District would like to thank all Lemont residents for their contribution in this process. This feedback is greatly informative and will assist us in creating an updated and successful roadmap for the future of the park district,” Board President Brian Pepich said in a release.

“Furthermore, staff is already working on any operational and/or program suggestions that
were communicated during this process and will take immediate action where possible and
appropriate,” he added.

The park district board and staff will participate in master plan workshops over the next few months and start formulating an updated schedule consisting of future projects and improvements, the district said.

The community can expect the next update regarding the master plan process in the spring.
