Congratulations to our Director of Parks and Planning, Kraig Owens, on earning the 2026 Western Illinois University Jim Berousek Distinguished Alumnus Award at this year’s Illinois Association of Park Districts / Illinois Park & Recreation Association (IAPD/IPRA) Soaring to New Heights Conference!

Each year, this award is given to Western Illinois Alumni in the field of Parks and Recreation for their impact and commitment to the field, as nominated and voted on by their peers.

Through his leadership of park renovation initiatives, development of high-performing teams, and transparent reporting to the Board of Commissioners, Kraig has made a lasting impact on the Gurnee Park District and the community it serves, reflecting the values and distinction honored by this award.

We are proud to recognize the continued commitment and positive influence Kraig has made in both the field of Parks and Recreation and the Gurnee community. His passion for excellence in all areas is an inspiration to many, including staff, partners, and residents alike.

Way to go, KO!
