Aurora Sixth Ward alderman Mike Saville, center, presents a check to the Fox Valley Park District (FVPD) at the Monday, March 11 Board meeting in the amount of $20,744, from the 6th Ward fund.
Board president Chuck Anderson, left, and executive director, Jim Pilmer, accept the check for the purchase of the new picnic shelter at the Palace Street Park. The FVPD will spend the money to install the new shelter.
The 6th Ward fund already had paid $94,000 to purchase the former Carson’s parking lots last Summer. The city government gave the deed for the land to the FVPD. Soon thereafter the FVPD broke ground on a new park and completed the construction last Fall.
