Doug Carlson Appointed as New Commissioner

Zion Park District Commissioner Bill Hartmann resigned in May after 13 years of service on the park board. He relocated out of state. We thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best.

At the May Park Board meeting, the Zion Park District Board appointed Doug Carlson to fill the vacant position. Park Board Commissioners serve six-year terms. Carlson is completing the remaining one year on Hartmann’s existing term, which concludes in April 2025.
Doug Carlson, a Zion resident for over 20 years, has a heart for the City. He is passionate about making a lasting difference in the Zion community where famililes live, work and raise their children. Doug is excited to serve on the Park Board to learn about the park district’s operations and services and help support the district’s mission and the community.

Park Board meetings are held at the Zion Park District Leisure Center on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm.
