Children’s Sensory Garden
We are working to raise funds to install a children’s sensory garden in honor of long time Park District employee, Melissa Medeiros. This sensory garden is for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy.

The Plans
Who was Melissa?
Melissa was an irreplaceable member of our community. She worked for over 18 years for the West Chicago Park District holding many different titles with her most recent being a Facilities Supervisor at the ARC Center. She took great pride in her work and especially enjoyed running the Senior’s Luncheon with the fire department. She will leave an everlasting mark at the West Chicago Park District and was able to make a huge impact through the work that she did there. Melissa was a Trustee with the West Chicago Fire Protection District and a pillar in the West Chicago community. She loved traveling, camping, music, helping at community events, and especially loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. Melissa was considered a mom to many and was cherished by many others.
Our Goal
In order to turn our dream of the Sensory Garden into a reality, we need to raise $100,000. To achieve this goal, we will be applying for grants, holding fundraisers and accepting donations. If you are able to donate towards this project, click the link below.
