About Park District of Highland Park

. The Park District understands the need to bridge the gap between public resources and the funds necessary to maintain and enhance its world-class facilities. With 44 parks, beaches, and 11 sports and nature facilities spread over 700 acres of land, the Park District is a valuable part of the community. Property taxes are the main source of funding for the Park District, making up around 50% of its operating costs. However, only 6% of resident property taxes are paid directly to the Park District. This is why the Park District needs to look for other sources of funding to ensure the continued success of its facilities. The Park District is committed to finding new sources of funding to keep its parks and nature facilities running at the highest level. Community support is essential to maintaining these invaluable resources and to ensure that generations to come can enjoy them.

Our campers spend time every day in the great outdoors, are part of a team & have a sense of belonging. Most importantly, they have a chance to be just kids, getting the most out of summer!
