HELP US MAINTAIN YOUR PARKS
Although crews inspect park sites on
a regular basis, litter or vandalism may
occur, or additional maintenance may be
necessary between visits. The next time you
visit one of the parks and notice anything
that needs attention, please report to the
Parks section at 847.810.3567.
The Park and Forestry Section is committed
to offering the best maintained parks and
urban forest in the area. We consider it
a privilege to serve this community and
will strive to make your parks the best
they can be. If you have any questions or
suggestions, please contact Chuck Myers,
Superintendent of Parks and Forestry at
847.810.3565.
PARK RESERVATION PERMITS
The park pavilions and playing fields of Lake Forest are available to Lake Forest
residents, not-for-profit community organizations, and schools located within the
City boundaries for permit when not in conflict with public activities. All permitted
events need to be approved by the Recreation staff. Larger permitted events may
need to apply for a special use permit through City Hall. Commercial profit-generating
events are not allowed. The permitting season runs from February 1 to October 31.
A permit does not allow for private use of the entire park since the parks are intended
for the enjoyment of all residents; however, it does reserve a pavilion or playing field
for private use. For further information on reserving a pavilion or playing field
please call the Rec Center at 847.234.6700 or visit our website at
www.LFParksandRec.com.
ADOPT-A-PARK
The Adopt-A-Park program provides
opportunities for donors to lend assistance
in a variety of ways to help maintain or
improve public properties. The program
is designed to allow residents, corporate
business, neighborhood groups, schools,
and other community organizations the
opportunity to become partners in
preserving and enhancing the parks in Lake
Forest. It is a fun and rewarding
way to give back to the community and
help support your city parks.
