Adopt-A-Park Program welcomes new groupLate in the fall of 2008 the park district was contacted by the Commonsof Surrey Woods HOA, Landscape Committee Volunteers to adopt SurreyWoods Park. Lead by Miegan Wegrzyn, this group has completed thefollowing projects at Surrey Woods Park; Spring Annual Flower plantingsand routine maintenance of the flower bed, plantings of shrubs and atree, Creating and mulching tree rings, painting of park benches, regularlitter pick up, and fall plantings of bulbs and perennials. Some of thebenefits seen at Surrey Woods Park due to the efforts of this group arereduced graffiti and reduced abuse of the play equipment.

For being the first year of adopting a park the Landscape CommitteeVolunteers, Commons of Surrey Woods has come together to encourage

“PRIDE IN OUR PARKS.”

Vandalism Hotline: Public playgrounds have become the targets of arsonists andwhen a loss occurs, an entire playground worth tens of thousands of dollars can be

lost to the children of the community within a matter of minutes. Other parkamenities such as shelters have also been damaged or destroyed. Park staff also

spends hours removing graffiti on park structures and playgrounds. As much as staffand local law enforcement officers try to prevent these incidents, sometimes local

residents and park users are the best source of information about who may beinvolved in these acts.

Help protect your Parks. Call the confidential Streamwood Park District VandalismHotline at (630) 483-3134 or e-mail [email protected].

What is “Hoosier Grove?”Before there was a Streamwood, this area was known as Hoosier Grove. The community of German-American farmers, who settled here, were from Indiana. Hence why they referred to their communityas Hoosier Grove. Now that this area is Streamwood, we remember the name Hoosier Grove to honorthe roots of the community.

Vandalism Hotline Public playgrounds have become the targets of arsonists and when a loss occurs, an entire playground worth tens of thousands of dollars can be lost to the childrenof the community within a matter of minutes. Other park amenities such as shelters have also been damaged or destroyed. Park staff also spends hours removing graffition park structures and playgrounds. As much as staff and local law enforcement officers try to prevent these incidents, sometimes local residents and park users arethe best source of information about who may be involved in these acts.

Help protect your Parks. Call the confidential Streamwood Park District Vandalism Hotline at (630) 483-3134 or e-mail [email protected] You for Making Park Pride a Priority!
