The ongoing mission of the St. Charles Park District is to enrich the quality of life of Park District residents through excellence in programs, parks, facilities, and services. The Administration Department administers the overall operations of the Park District including business affairs. The Director is primarily responsible for administering the day-to-day operations and functions of the Park District within the policies and guidelines, as established by the Park Board. The Parks Department is charged with the maintenance, operations and enhancement of all parks and natural areas and the provision of environmental education programs and related services. Together, the Park District owns and manages more than 1,400 acres. The Recreation Department manages the Park District's recreational facilities and provides programs and activities designed to meet the physical, social, and cultural recreational needs of residents. The extensive programs offered by the Recreation Department are intended to serve all segments of the residential population from preschool children to older adults. The Golf Department operates the historic Pottawatomie Golf Course, designed by the renowned golf architect, Robert Trent Jones. On October 3, 1997, Audubon International designated Pottawatomie Golf Course as a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. It was the first nine-hole golf course, internationally, to become certified in all six Audubon categories to include: Environmental Planning; Water Conservation; Integrated Pest Management; Outreach and Education; Water Quality Management; and Wildlife and Habitat Management. Out of 2,000+ member golf courses seeking certification worldwide, there are only a few golf courses that get certified each year by Audubon International.
