Residency Policy
Recreation program residency rates apply to everyone who lives within Park District of Highland Park boundaries and pays Park District of Highland Park taxes including: residents of Fort Sheridan (60037); portions of the Town of Fort Sheridan that lie within Park District boundaries (60035); and Park District of Highland Park taxpayers who reside on the following Kings Cove (Deerfield) streets: Carriage Way, Bent Creek Ridge, Fox Hunt Trail, Millstone Road, Shag Bark Lane, Smoke Tree Road and Tanglewood Court. All other Deerfield street addresses and residents of Highwood do not pay Park District of Highland Park taxes and are, therefore, nonresidents of the Park District. Nonresidents pay an additional nonresident fee per program. Nonresident fees are the second fees shown in program descriptions.
No Smoking Policy
On January 1, 2008, the Smoke Free Illinois Act (410 ILCS 82/1) went into effect. Also, the Chapter 100 of the City of Highland Park Code was amended to incorporate the Smoke Free Illinois Act and further prohibit smoking in certain places including Park District facilities, parking lots and park grounds (including all athletic fields). For more information regarding the Chapter 100 Smoking Regulations, please visit http://www.cityhpil.com/pdf/ordinances/chapter100.pdf.
