Green Trails Improvement Association

Park District Committee

GTIA Parks Committee

The GTIA Parks Committee serves as a liaison between Lisle Park District and GTIA Board.  With 18 of its parks within Green Trails, Lisle Park District (LPD) shares in the responsibility of making Green Trails a desirable place to live.   Park District property includes neighborhood parks, all of our ponds, plus the Surrey Ridge and Woodglenn athletic complexes. 

Lisle Park District Board meetings

The Parks Committee schedules GTIA Board members to attend the regular monthly Park Board meetings.  If the situation warrants, the GTIA rep is available to transmit a Green Trails perspective on some issue under discussion, or bring an item back to GTIA for feedback.  The GTIA rep reports on each Park Board meeting at the following GTIA meeting, either orally or in writing.

Park Surveys

The Parks Committee coordinates an annual inspection of Lisle Park District parks within Green Trails—distributing forms to Board members, and collecting them.  This is one means of assessing maintenance or other issues for specific parks.  A Parks Committee representative meets with Park District staff to discuss the results, usually prior to LPD budget time. 

Meetings

The Committee meets infrequently, on an as needed basis.
