The Glenview Park Foundation continues its tradition of working in partnership with other organizations to maximize its positive impact on the community. Through a partnership with the North Suburban Special Recreation Foundation (NSSRF) the North Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA), the Glenview Park District and 12 North Shore communities, the Foundation is moving closer to its goal of providing recreational space to serve children and adults with special needs.
Architects are currently completing designs that will transform the Willow Park Fieldhouse into a fully accessible program space for NSSRA to use to program for its participants. This facility will serve as a model for similar spaces in other NSSRA communities.
This project would not be possible without the $100,000 the Foundation has committed to these renovations. The Foundation’s practice of partnering with other organizations has generated a matching $100,000 donation from NSSRF. Further support from NSSRA and the Glenview Park District will combine to make this goal a reality by the summer of 2011.
For the second year in a row, the Foundation has also contributed to the Glenview Park District’s “Leisureship” program which funds participation in park programs for children whose parents are unable to pay some or all of program costs. The Glenview State Bank and Glenview Youth Services are valued partners in this effort. Thanks to this partnership, more families than ever before have been assisted in enrolling their children in wholesome recreational programs and activities.
