Your Parks
Lake Forest is home to 17 of the most beautiful parks in the county. Take an afternoon or evening walk or bike
ride to a one of our nearby parks and enjoy the scenery!
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.
OUT IN THE PARKS
The Parks 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.
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 reservation by permit when not in conflict with public activities. All
events need to be approved by the Recreation staff. Larger 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 November 1. 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 Recreation
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.
