Our follow-up survey will help inform the development of preliminary concepts for the Community Recreation Center\, Centennial Recreation Complex and Big Tree Lane. \n\nCLICK HERE to take the survey\, now through 11/8! \n\nLet’s Dig a Little Deeper!\nCommunity input continues to guide The Future of Rec in Wilmette as the Park District moves into the next phase of its Comprehensive Recreation Facility Feasibility Study. \nWe have received strong community engagement so far. Over 1\,100 residents completed our initial Community Engagement Questionnaire\, providing feedback on recreation\, facilities\, programs and priorities. Additionally\, more than 500 people participated in an interactive activity at the Wilmette Block Party\, identifying preferred spaces\, amenities and activities for an ideal recreation center. \nThat feedback helped give us the big picture. Now\, we’re ready to dig a little deeper. \nThe next step is a comprehensive Recreation Feasibility Study Survey. It will focus on current facility use\, areas of success\, opportunities for improvement and future recreation needs. \nThe survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. Please consider the needs and perspectives of your entire household when responding. \nThis round of feedback is especially important\, as it will inform the development of preliminary concepts for the Community Recreation Center\, Centennial Recreation Complex and Big Tree Lane. \nThere are no predetermined plans or outcomes. Your input is essential to ensure the process reflects the needs of those who use our parks\, facilities and programs. \nWe are incredibly grateful to everyone who has already taken part in this process\, and we hope you’ll continue the conversation with us by completing this next survey. \nPlease complete the survey by NOVEMBER 8. All responses are confidential and will be combined with others. A summary of the results will be available on the Wilmette Park District project webpage this winter. \nYour voice is helping shape The Future of Rec in Wilmette. \n\n \n Download PDF\n \n \n \n Save This Page as a PDF URL:https://wilmettepark.org/event-list/survey-deadline-the-future-of-rec/ LOCATION:Online\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://d11ixze0kvt635.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/30153032/RFS26-DLD-Fi.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261106T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261106T210000 DTSTAMP:20260922T215810Z CREATED:20260916T162806Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T215810Z UID:91415-1793993400-1793998800@wilmettepark.org SUMMARY:TGIF Skate NOVEMBER DESCRIPTION:T.G.I.F.
