General Information
Community Input Photography
The success of any governmental agency can only be accomplished
with ongoing conversations and input with the community it serves.
The Park District of Highland Park utilizes a number or means to give
you, our residents, a voice in your Park District, including:
• Long-standing resident volunteer committees headed by Park Board
members such as the Athletics and Golf Committees
• Ad hoc resident volunteer advisory committees for large special
projects such as the Rosewood Beach renovation
• Monthly facility open houses held throughout the year at each
facility for participants and interested residents to share their
thoughts and ideas about our facilities and programming
• Adhoc special project open houses for neighborhoods and
interested residents to share their thoughts and ideas on projects
such as new park playgrounds and other improvements
• Customer satisfaction surveys distributed to program and camp
participant families on an on-going basis
• Attitude and Interest surveys and focus groups conducted
throughout the community for special projects
The feedback we receive from you in these conversations along
with personal conversations, phone calls, and emails we receive
each day are invaluable to ensure the Park District of Highland Park
continues to meet the needs of our community today and for future
generations. Photos and video footage are periodically taken of people
participating in District programs and activities. All persons registering
for District programs/activities, participants in District events, or
using District property thereby agree that any photograph or video
taken by the District may be used in District publications, advertising,
marketing materials, brochures, event flyers, social media (including
Facebook, YouTube, and other social media sites operated by the
District), and the District’s website without additional prior notice
or permission and without any compensation to you. All photos and
videos are property of the District.

Pesticide Application Notification
The Park District of Highland Park uses the Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) system. By using IPM, we meet our objectives of
maximizing cultural, biological and environmental controls while
minimizing chemical use. Occasionally, chemical means are necessary.
When these are used on Park District grounds, notification is made
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
Director of Parks at 847.579.3130.
The Park District of Highland Park is pleased to provide our residents
with seasonal and specialty brochures. We rely on the postal service
for the distribution of our brochures in a timely manner. The Park
