General Information
Advisory Committees Good Time Guarantee
In an ongoing effort to involve community residents in the decision-
making process that affects the facilities and programs that they use,
the Park District has established the following advisory committees:
Athletics, Centennial Ice Arena, Hidden Creek AquaPark, Lakefront,
Recreation, Recreation Center of Highland Park, Active Adults,
Sunset Valley Golf Course, Sustainability, Tennis, and Youth Program.
The committees are chaired by members of the Park Board and
comprised of volunteer members who represent the users of the
various facilities/programs. Current committee members are listed
on the Park District website, pdhp.org under the "About Us" tab. For
information on how you can serve on an advisory committee, call
847.831.3810 or email:
[email protected]. We are committed to providing the public with high quality recreation
programs. Our residents are important to us, and we feel they deserve
quality at all times. Our promise and policy are as follows: If requested
by the beginning of the third class, the Park District of Highland Park
will give you a full refund if you are unsatisfied with the quality of
instruction, your child’s inability to adapt emotionally in the class, or
the skill level is not appropriate for the participant.

through posting of signs in the area, as well as contacting residents,
by phone or email, listed on our “turf care notification registry.” If
you would like to be added to the notification registry, please call the
