Prospect Heights Park District residents have been clear about the needs they see in their community – including the replacement of the Gary Morava Recreation Center, and updates to Lions Pool, tennis courts, ballfields and other outdoor recreational spaces, as well as a need to continuing providing safe and welcoming recreational spaces for families, children, teens, adults and seniors.

Residents continuously indicated they preferred to replace rather than renovate the facilities, which requires significant capital funding.

A referendum would provide funds to improve recreation opportunities for a variety of users and patrons, address infrastructure needs in a timely manner and improve our ability to generate additional revenue with more appropriate and accessible facilities.
