Plainfield Park District honored at Best of the Best Awards Gala
The Best of the Best Award, for partnership, was awarded to four park districts in the state of Illinois.
On October 21 the Plainfield Park District was honored at the Illinois Association of Park District’s (IAPD) Best of the Best Awards Gala for their partnership with Louis Joliet Mall and for their 50th Anniversary.
The Best of the Best Award, for partnership, was awarded to four park districts in the state of Illinois. According to Corinne Vargas, senior graphic designer at the Park District who secured the partnership with the Louis Joliet Mall “This is a great honor to be recognized for our efforts in finding creative ways to bring parks and recreation to the community; I am very proud and humbled to be honored for doing something I love doing.”
In early 2016, Plainfield Park District began conversations to work with Louis Joliet Mall and it was through these discussions that a partnership was born. In this agreement, the Plainfield Park District provides free family events to the community, once a month, along with staff and supplies and Louis Joliet Mall provides space, tables and advertising in return. Both entities accomplished a significant feat with this new partnership.
