Welcome to the Recreation Center of Highland Park
We invite you to take time out to energize, socialize and revitalize every day. The Park District of Highland Park offers you a fully handicapped-accessible, state-of-the-art facility that includes a fitness center, aquatic center, gymnasiums, locker rooms, an indoor café, multi-purpose and meeting rooms, and group fitness studios. This is a facility where we know you’ll want to spend time with family and friends. So take time to revitalize with yoga while your kids take swimming lessons. Or energize with a game of basketball while your spouse works out in a spin class. Then, slow down and socialize with friends over juice or coffee at The Club Café. At the Recreation Center of Highland Park, we invite you to enjoy an outstanding recreational and fitness experience with park district service and tradition.
