Welcome to Our New Website & App!

We’ve got a whole line-up of new online experiences for you! Now you have an easier way to learn about our Park District, find important information, and get your transactions done faster so you can move on with your day. 

New Website

Our new website was designed with a fresh new look and feel, improved functionality, and a more enjoyable viewing experience no matter what device you are using. The new site is jam-packed with handy new features and carefully organized based on our users’ preferences, including:

• A new home page layout with resources including a news blog, monthly event calendar, and seasonal quick links to the information you use most.
• Find information that is easy to access about our facilities, programs, rental venues, events, and much more. And, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, just type a few keywords in the search bar.
• The new online Park Shop features cool Highland Park swag – perfect for gifts or fun goodies for yourself. Best of all, proceeds from the shop benefit our Parks Foundation SMILE and FYI scholarship programs. 
• Our favorite feature is the new integrated seasonal program guides. No more flipping through pages on a hard-to-read digital brochure. Plus, we are saving the trees by not printing our guide.  All our seasonal program information is now a featured part of the website – allowing you to peruse and sign up for events, memberships, and programs. To view new Spring information, click here.
