Lebanon, Ohio —Warren County Park District Chief Operating Officer Larry Easterly will retire at the end of March after 25 years of dedicated service to the residents of Warren County.

Easterly began his career with the Park District in 2001 and has been a steady, committed presence throughout a quarter century of growth and community service. During his tenure, he helped guide daily operations, support park improvements, and ensure high quality experiences for the thousands of visitors who enjoy Warren County Parks each year.

“We are deeply grateful for Larry’s long-standing dedication to our mission and to the residents of Warren County,” said Matt Latham, Chief Executive Officer. “Larry’s commitment to keeping our parks running smoothly has been invaluable, and we offer our heartfelt thanks for his 25 years of dedicated service to Warren County residents and visitors.”

Easterly commented, “I’ve always admired this quote from Theodore Roosevelt: ‘Do what you can, with what you have, with who you are.’ That idea has shaped my time with the Park District.”
