We`re honored to welcome our newest Board Member, Sarah Beckmann, to Gurnee Park District!

As a resident of Gurnee for the past 9 years, Sarah has seen firsthand how meaningful the Gurnee Park District`s programs are, not just for kids but for entire families and neighborhoods. It’s where she found her purpose, developed as a leader, and began her path as an educator. Now, she wants to help shape and support those same opportunities for others. Serving on the Gurnee Park District Board is her way of continuing that cycle—giving back to the community that is helping raise her two children.
