I work for the Park District and they thrive to become the leading provider of recreation and leisure opportunities to Chicago residents and visitors. They also thrive to have safe, inviting and beautifully maintained parks within a ten minute walk of every Chicago resident. In order for them to thrive they had to come up with new goals to improve, expand and update their parks throughout Chicago. Their goals were to replant degrading park landscapes, rehabilitate dozens of park structures, elevate the level of maintenance of park facilities, construct new field houses and most importantly completely revamp its programming.

Their plan was to work with other agencies and non profit organizations to achieve their goals of revamping its programming. They also are also planning for some outside resources to help educate and train programs for park district staff members.
