King Park – Waukegan, IL

The Waukegan Park District consists of 50 properties and 737 acres of land. The Park District, together with Romtec, has completed several building projects including the recent King Park project. At King Park, Romtec had the opportunity to supply multiple structures to the Waukegan Park District.

Eugene P. King was an African American Surgeon who moved to Waukegan in 1929 and was “known for his dedication to the city’s African-American youth” (Sanchez Olson, 2019). This Park, dedicated to Dr. Eugene King, serves the surrounding community, and provides a place for youth and families to enjoy the outdoors.

Matching Restroom and Pavilion

At King Park, the Romtec restroom building and the Romtec pavilion serve the softball field, picnic areas, and play equipment that guests enjoy. The restroom building is a single, unisex bathroom structure with an attached mechanical room off to the side. Access to the bathroom is located on the face of the building, under a truss roof extension that provides a covered breezeway over the public amenities of the structure, including two wall-mounted drinking fountains for guests to access safe and clean drinking water on days out at the park.

The restroom is composed of split face gray block with black powder-coated doors and gable vents. The truss extension on the face of the building is supported by wood pillars with aesthetically pleasing column footings that feature a stone veneer. The roof on the restroom is an Evergreen metal roofing with IKO Stormshield for protection against water and ice.

Inside the restroom is a white, high efficiency toilet, a sink with a push button faucet, and a tankless water heater. The tankless water heater is mounted below the sink, and gives guests warm water to wash their hands, a feature that is often overlooked but sure to be appreciated by park guests.

The pavilion has matching pillars and footings to the restroom, and a matching Evergreen metal roofing. With similar design features, these two very different structures are linked and add a uniform appearance to the park.

The successful installation of the King Park Restroom and Pavilion structures by Great Lake Landscape continues to improve Waukegan Parks and provides new improvements for the community to enjoy. This project is just one of many that Romtec has worked on with both the Waukegan Park District and the Hitchcock Design Group, including the Rose Park project, the Clearview Park project, and the upcoming Victory Park project.

We had an awesome experience with Romtec and were very pleased (especially) about the communication that was given to us. The project went by very smoothly and we are now off to our next adventures. The finished product was everything and more that was promised by Romtec.

That Memorial Park Project is one of our favorites too – it truly made a positive impact for our visitors, and we will continue to keep Romtec in mind as opportunities to collaborate come up!

I have to mention that aside from the products Romtec supplies and the workmanship of the subcontractors (Ken and crew), I’m also very impressed with your responsiveness to issues – you’re a far cry from the usual taillight warranty.

You get what you pay for. Romtec provided the most perfect, seamless, flawless project I could have imagined. I would use Romtec 100 times over and will not consider any other options moving forward. You were able to beat my original budget and expectations. Everyone involved was great from sales to construction management, to the construction team themselves.

I was actually out today looking at the baseball park and your building is absolutely awesome.  Our buddy and all star baseball families are going to love it!

We were very impressed with Romtec on this project. The entire team was professional, forward thinking, wiling to collaborate and compromise, and the structure turned out beautiful. We definitely got what we paid for (and then some!).

Ken Perry’s crew who installed it did a fantastic job, very organized and professional, and efficient install.

If I were to do this again, I would no doubt hire Romtec and its subcontractors to do the installation. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I learned a valuable lesson that I will hire Romtec’s certified installers to do the construction.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Dan Keagy (Romtec’s assistant construction manager). He in my opinion went above and beyond to solve our problems and problems that were not necessarily his or Romtec’s to solve. He is a great guy and great resource for Romtec. Overall, the biggest thing to me was the service after the sale. Romtec didn’t just make the sale and move on, but they supported us through a very long and arduous construction process.

Romtec was phenomenal when it came to service after the sale. They were available anytime there were questions. In addition, there were some issues with missing materials. Even though it was not Romtec’s fault for the missing materials, the were more than willing to send us the missing materials to get the project done. Romtec even sent out a representative to tour the site to give firsthand recommendations on how to proceed.
