Dear Fargoans: I will be retiring at the end of this year as the Executive Director of the Fargo Park District.

It is the mission of the Fargo Park District to provide

I was appointed Executive Director in the Spring of 1996 and started in the fall of 1996 when my predecessor Bob “Goose” Johnson retired.

quality recreational and leisure services at an affordable price to improve the quality of life

Much has been accomplished by our management team in the last 20 years. Many new parks, programs, buildings, trails, etc., the list seems to be endless.

for all residents of Fargo.

On one hand it will be very difficult to say goodbye, but on the other hand we have a management team in place and very committed Park Commissioners that will continue with the mission. Under the new leadership of incoming Executive Director Joel Vettel, the Fargo Park District staff will continue to serve the community’s best interests. You will always be in good hands! It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve as your Executive Director. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,

Roger G. Gress

Coupled with ensuring proper racquet length and using different types of tennis balls based on age and ability, our goal is to get your child playing tennis as soon as possible. This system gives your child a visible progression to maximize their improvement.
