Commissioner Don Rosedale HONORED FOR 25 years of Service
Commissioner Rosedale became a member of the Park Board of Commissioner back in May of 1999 and has served this community faithfully over these past 25 years. His ancestors were early settlers of Des Plaines helping to create his deep-rooted love for this area.
In addition to the Park Board, Rosedale served on many community boards and organizations. His service to the community was well known and admired by many. But of all the commitments he made, his favorite service was being involved with the Des Plaines Park District. Don would always say, “he wants to make sure the children of Des Plaines have the best options available” and his tenure on the Park Board was instrumental with providing quality services, facilities, and open space for Des Plaines residents. Throughout the years Rosedale was committed to avoiding additional tax referendums to complete projects, he was instrumental in guiding the Park District’s Policies, and making sound decisions for the betterment of the Des Plaines Park District.
Rosedale stepped down from the Park Board of Commissioners on January 17, 2025. He will be missed and is honored by many for all he did for his community and the Des Plaines Park District. The Park District thanks him for his many years of service!
