Mission Statement

In 2014, the Park District celebrated 50 years!

Dedicated to the Franklin Park community, we provide unique recreation opportunities through quality programs, parks, and facilities.    

Entrusted with our residents’ investment, we are committed to fiscal responsibility, innovative leadership, and the highest standards of service.    

Challenged with environmental and energy concerns, we are responsible for conservation, community education, and best practices in resource management.    

Considering the needs of our richly diverse community, we create awareness of the lifelong benefits of parks and recreation.
