The process kicked off in early 2025 with a community survey to solicit input about how customers use the park district’s website, including preferred features and missing elements. Input was also gathered from park district staff members across departments, including frontline customer service staff.

Based on the feedback received, the website redesign centered around three main areas — content, navigation and design — all with improving user experience as the main goal of the project.

“The redesign was a complex operation that took place over the last few months,” Scovic said. “I would like to especially thank Michael Noens, our extremely talented marketing and communications manager, who served as project lead and closely and carefully supervised this process from start to finish.”
