Gurnee Park District is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael “Mike” Szpylman as its new Executive Director, effective May 1, 2025. Mike will succeed Susie Kuruvilla, who will be retiring after 27 years of service with Gurnee Park District on April 30, 2025. 

Mike has been an integral part of the Gurnee Park District since October 2010, serving as the Director of Business Services and Treasurer. His leadership in developing long-term financial strategies has supported critical capital improvement projects and helped the District achieve recognition through GFOA awards for financial reporting and budget presentation. Beyond financial management, Mike has played a pivotal role in many of the District’s most significant projects, including the acquisition and operational planning of FitNation as well as being the co-lead on the development and implementation of the current Comprehensive Strategic Master Plan.

With over 20 years of leadership, financial management, and strategic planning experience, Mike brings a wealth of expertise to the Executive Director position. "I am truly honored to be given the opportunity to serve as Executive Director of Gurnee Park District and continue the legacy of excellence established at the District,” said Mike. "I am committed to fostering collaboration, innovation, and community engagement while honoring the District's mission of ‘enriching community through fun and nature' and upholding its core values."

Mike, his wife Vicki, and their three daughters, Emily, Natalie, and Audrey all share a passion for Gurnee Park District. For many years, Mike’s family has been actively involved in various programs and events, fostering a deep connection to the community.

Gurnee Park District’s Board of Commissioners expresses confidence in Mike's ability to lead the organization into this next chapter of success. "We are excited to work with Mike as we continue to enrich the lives of our community members through exceptional recreational experiences," said James Goshorn, Board President.
