When you install eight new pickleball courts, you can expect the people to show. That’s exactly what happened at Central Park in Channahon, Illinois. But the Channahon Park District didn’t stop at courts. As part of the park’s upgrades, it added two new SaveHeart by HeartNation outdoor AED cabinets at Arrowhead Community Center, including a freestanding SaveHeart Tower between the basketball court and the new pickleball courts.
In sharing the news, the Park District put safety right alongside its core value of fun: “As you enjoy all of the exciting new upgrades at Central Park, you can feel confident knowing potentially life-saving support is always close by.”
“Our new SaveHeart stations are designed to provide immediate assistance in an emergency, because when it comes to saving lives, every second matters.” - Channahon Park District
About the SaveHeart by HeartNation Tower
The SaveHeart Tower is a freestanding outdoor AED cabinet, made in the USA by SaveHeart by HeartNation from durable aluminum with a weather-resistant powder-coat finish. It is alarmed and lighted, and its back-lit “AED Public Access” top makes it easy to find from across the park.
The front of each Tower has space for sponsorship or a dedication, and Channahon’s proudly carries the Park District’s own name and logo. SaveHeart by HeartNation cabinets are available with heating, ventilation and smart monitoring.
Supporting Park Districts Across Illinois
Park districts play a big role in keeping communities safe, and SaveHeart by HeartNation is working to support them. Earlier this year, SaveHeart by HeartNation exhibited at the IAPD/IPRA Conference in Chicago, the annual gathering of Illinois park and recreation professionals, and announced a new partnership with Mike Clark and Plan4Action.
A 36-year veteran with executive experience in the Illinois park district system, Clark helps park districts put programs in place that increase health and safety, reduce risk, and build stronger community bonds. Channahon’s Central Park is a great example of what that looks like in action.
At SaveHeart by HeartNation, we’re proud to be part of Central Park’s upgrades. Here’s to building parks that are fun, inviting, and equipped to handle emergencies when necessary. That’s how it’s done. Well done, Channahon Park District!
