Under a mission statement of “providing opportunities for the preservation of open space and the development of recreational opportunities within the Channahon Park District”, PFCP is an important asset to expanding the quality of life the area enjoys.

The Foundation Board of Trustees includes President Michael F. Rittof; Vice President Scott Slocum; Secretary Charles Anfield; and Trustees DeWitt Buchanan, Joanne Carnagio, John Cotter, Erin Kotowski, David Landahl, Ronald D.
