The Park District of Highland Park is a public recreational agency serving Highland Park, Illinois, and nearby communities, with a mission to enrich community life through healthy leisure activities and an appreciation of nature. It operates more than 650 acres of land across 44 park areas, including a stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline, and offers a broad program of recreational activities and facilities such as a fitness center, an indoor ice arena, an aquatic park, indoor tennis courts, and a golf course. The district supports a wide range of programs—more than 2,800 annually—for residents of Highland Park, nearby King’s Cove residents attending District 112 schools, and portions of Fort Sheridan, aiming to provide accessible opportunities for people of all ages and interests to engage with parks and natural spaces. Established in 1909 and headquartered in Highland Park, the organization emphasizes maintaining parks and natural areas while delivering diverse recreational offerings to improve quality of life in the community. In recent developments, the district announced the launch of GreenPrint as part of its long-term planning for open spaces, facilities, and programs, reflecting ongoing efforts to guide future park and recreation growth.
