Our Vision Park Board and Meetings
To be the leader for environmental preservation, recreation
activities and unique facilities for those we serve. Mundelein Park & Recreation District is a governmental
agency established for the purpose of providing parks,
facilities and recreation programs for the community. The
Park District is responsible for maintenance, operation and
administration of these entities under its jurisdiction. The
Park District is governed by five elected commissioners
who set policy for the District's operation. Park District
Board meetings are held the second and fourth Monday of
each month, 7:30 pm, at the Mundelein Community Center
(1401 N. Midlothian Road, 3rd Floor). The public is welcome
to attend.
