We are proud to announce that O`Plaine Park has officially been renamed "Vicki Paddock Park" in honor of Commissioner Vicki Paddock’s 30+ years of dedicated service to Gurnee Park District.

This past Saturday, we celebrated the renaming with a beautiful ceremony and luncheon recognizing Vicki’s decades of commitment to parks and recreation in Gurnee. The event was attended by GPD staff, friends, and family—all gathered to honor the incredible impact Vicki has made on our community.

"Vicki Paddock Park" now stands as a lasting tribute to Vicki`s commitment, passion, and unwavering dedication to Gurnee Park District.

Make sure to stop by and play!
