Channahon is a rapidly growing community and places a high value on parks and recreation services.

The Board and Staff knew we needed a leader in the industry who could bring years of experience and knowledge from communities around the country, hence the selection of this team. 

The team, led by Principal Neelay Bhatt, has a proven track record that affirms their ability to guide Park & Recreation Districts of all sizes through a rigourous assesment and development of strategic actions needed to meet the needs of our growing community.
