The Parks & Recreation Department is developing the Lincolnwood Skate Park Task Force to research, plan, budget, and propose a skate park design to the Parks & Recreation Board. If you are interested in participating in the discussions, please contact Dan Malartsik (dmalartsik@lwd.org) for more information.
Adopt-A-Park has been established so that neighborhood groups, schools, or other organizations can work in conjunction with the Lincolnwood Parks & Recreation Department in operating, maintaining, and improving their adopted park.
School Classes can use their adopted park as an outdoor classroom to learn ecology, and give students the opportunity to have a deeper role in the Lincolnwood Community. Community, Neighborhood and Civic Groups can use their adopted park for activities and programs.
Through fundraising, volunteer clean-up, fix-up days, and program/activities held in the park... adopting groups will be able to have a say in determining the needs of their adopted park; as well as having a hand in helping to address those park needs.
When your group decides to Adopt-A-Park, the Lincolnwood Parks & Recreation Department will work closely with your group's Adopt-A-Park Committee to plan events, clean-ups and other activities. Adopting organizations will be recognized with a sign placed at their respective adopted park.
If your group is interested in adopting a park, contact the Lincolnwood Parks & Recreation Department at (847) 677-9740, ext. 4728, to discuss possible park locations. A meeting will be arranged with your group to discuss the program, as well as ideas your group might have for their adopted park.
