One of the key objectives the Park District is to incorporate sustainable practices to maintain and improve our infrastructure. Energy costs increase year after year and adding solar is helping our agency become more financially stable by lowering our annual operating costs. As the agency adds more sustainable energy production to its community centers, you can see the overall savings the additions are having and how they compare to other locations over time. For example, in 2019, the Park District saw a 7% decrease in electricity used.
