Have KC sites, preschool classes, OPD staff, & general public collect used crayons. We can also partner with local restaurants to collect their "used" crayons. Crayons are then donated to one these recycled crayons programs.

Visual communication boards at the local parks to help non-verbal children communicate. These are also called PECS and are often used with special needs kids. 

At the kiosks (3) at Saw Wee Kee or even on the trails, create a sign with a QR code for the SWK map. (Can even have "You are here" on it)

Could post these smaller signs on the posts of the kiosks, so we don't even have to waste space inside.

Since the shelter in place has been in effect, I happened to notice (on FB) many children being bummed about not being able to celebrate their birthdays with friends due to Covid-19. Perhaps the Oswegoland Park District could hold a community birthday party to recognize all those children who weren’t really able to have a party during shelter in place. Clearly this would take place once deemed safe for larger gatherings.

Buy pcp pipes to put in hockey boards so they move less (athletic department) 

Consider adding the Rainout Line and Team Sideline to the OPD Website page that displays in Google (desktop and mobile access) so participants can easily get to these pages if they don't have them saved.  See Rainout line example on the Naperville Park District search.  Also consider adding the Skating Rink to the Rainout line so customers know when it is open (rather than having to drive by to see the flags).  

It would be helpful if the new hire paperwork folder in the pdrive could be organized differently. It's great that it's all in one place, but it would be easier to sort through if it was labeled or numbered in order, or separated into certain folders. Maybe even adding some short guidelines or reminders for certain forms as well. 

I have had a lot of luck using Google Forms for streamlining volunteer sign up and data collection for different areas that are not programming or Active related. I use them for PrairieFest Volunteers, Limelight Audition Sign up, and more. The form allows us to ensure that we are getting all of the information that we need (contact info, experience, availability, etc), as well as adjust and edit the fields on the form to be up to date. For example, when I PrairieFest shift is filled, we can take that option off of the form in real time and it is no longer an option for people looking at it. There is also the option to add an automatic response to the individual filling out the form, so they have confirmation that you got their info. It makes it easier on the user end and on the staff side. Win win!

I am happy to share any more info or answer questions, if anyone has any :)

During the warmer months, we could host catalog and department meetings outdoors to give us the opportunity to get some fresh air/out of the office!
