In May of 1934, a Village ordinance was passed creating a Recreation Board that would develop a plan for activities and playground sites, establish a budget and employ a Supervisor to manage the operation.
Shortly there after, Village Hall was constructed which included a gymnasium for recreational activities.
In 1947, land was purchased for the purpose of Park and Recreation facilities and a softball diamond was constructed.
In 1952, the Park District was incorporated followed by the addition of a public swimming pool in 1957. Adjacent to the pool was a recreation area which included trampolines, miniature golf and donkey cart rides.
In 1959, additional land was purchased and a house was acquired from Shell Oil Company and moved to the property. This was the original meeting place of many community groups. When the house became too small to accommodate the needs of the people, the Rox-Arena was constructed in 1969.
In the years following, picnic shelters were added along with additional ball fields, concession stand, soccer field, playgrounds and bike/walking paths. In 1993 Burbank Park was purchased from the school district. It now contains a ball field, playground, picnic shelter, soccer field, basketball court and is the site of the annual Roxana Homecoming Festival.
To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Park District, a new pool house was constructed in 2002. The Park District is continuing to make improvements to better serve our community.
