ON THE COVER
Our thanks to the Byron Park District for sending us this issue's cover image - a beautiful vista from the PrairieView Golf Course. The 18-hole, par 72 has been given four stars by Golf Digest. It is just one of many great public golf courses owned by IAPD member agencies and/or operated by IPRA member professionals. Our annual golf guide starts on page 28.
