Parks & Golf Operations Center Building
Parks & Golf
Operations Center Building
Projected End Date
March 2018
Location
1240 Fredrickson

The new centralized Parks and Golf Operations Center is located at the site of the District’s old Golf Maintenance building (1240 Fredrickson) on the west side of the Sunset Valley Golf Course.  The new facility replaced both the 88-year-old Golf Maintenance Facility and the District’s +70-year-old Parks Maintenance Facility located south of the Sunset Valley clubhouse.  Both facilities were inefficient and inadequate for the current and future needs of the Park District and Sunset Valley.
