If you missed the GreenPrint Master Plan Open House on February 7, you still have an opportunity to review the project’s progress and provide feedback.  

You can view the introductory video and the complete presentation and provide your comments on our GreenPrint website. The presentation and video provide an overview of the planning process and community engagement to date, explore ideas for future capital projects and system priorities, provide an understanding of what these projects might cost, and explain what is currently budgeted versus what will require creative funding mechanisms to become a reality.  

About GreenPrint

Ten years ago, the Park District of Highland Park introduced GreenPrint, a transformative parks and recreation master plan that shaped the future of open spaces, facilities, and programs in Highland Park. With community input, collaboration, and strategic investment, the initiatives outlined in the plan were implemented over the last ten years, enhancing parks, recreation facilities, and open spaces throughout the district. This accomplishment reflects a strong commitment to delivering on long-term priorities and setting a solid foundation for future planning efforts. 

Now, a decade later, it’s time to reassess, refine, and reimagine what comes next.

The New GreenPrint Master Plan will build upon the success of the original plan while incorporating new insights, priorities, and emerging needs. 

This process has involved robust community engagement, a fresh analysis of parks, facilities, and programs, and a clear roadmap for future investments—ensuring that Highland Park’s facilities, parks, and programs continue to serve residents for years to come.

 We invite you to be a part of it!
