Dr. Mitchell L. Slotnick, a member of the NSSRA community for nearly 40 years and a founding member of NSSRA Foundation, passed away on May 10, 2018. Together we mourn the loss of both a great man and a great friend to NSSRA.
“Mitchell Slotnick had an unwavering belief in the benefits of recreation, and the connection between an active body and a fulfilling life. His compassion and commitment to others were reflected in his contributions to NSSRA and the partnership he helped forge with Northwestern. There are so many who have felt the impact of his generosity, and so many who are grateful for his leadership.” – Coach Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern Wildcats

Takiff Center Parking Lot Construction
On August 13, the Takiff Center will begin Phase II of their parking lot project. This phase will involve re-orienting the parking lot to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, pedestrians and adults dropping off children. It also includes adding more bike racks and sidewalks, as well as solar-powered lights and a designated drop-off lane to lessen traffic back-ups on Green Bay Road.
Construction will be a disruption to normal Takiff Center operations and NSSRA programming during the fall.
During construction, the main entrance will be closed sporadically.
Please use the West Entrance (the blue awning near the Early Childhood Entrance) to enter and exit the Takiff Center or drop your child off at program.
Parking may be limited, so we encourage you to park behind the gym or in the Early Childhood lot.
