Last week, Executive Director Andy Biesterfeld and Administrative Assistant Jamie Healy spent three days at the State Capitol in Springfield advocating on behalf of Crete Park District and park districts across Illinois as part of IAPD Parks Day at the Capitol. During their visit, they met with legislators, shared the importance of the Power of Play, and participated in the legislative conference featuring bill updates, a panel discussion with state legislators, and an update on e-bikes from Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias.

A key focus of the trip was speaking out against proposed SB3907, which could significantly impact park district programming and services if passed. Crete Park District remains committed to protecting access to quality recreation opportunities and ensuring our community continues to benefit from strong parks and recreation services.
