History
In 1963, The Lemont Township Park District originated as an idea which was formed by Township Supervisor, Lewis N. Ruppert during his first year in office.
In his first year, he received many inquiries from township residents regarding recreational facilities. He realized as Township Supervisor he could not legally do anything to satisfy the recreational needs and requirements of the citizens. So, he proactively suggested to them that the Township needed a Park District.
