Rockford Park District Charity Profile

We are a local unit of municipal government. We are not a recreation department or a part of the city or county governments, nor part of the school district (this is often the case in other states). Illinois is unique in having Park Districts, and there are 357 members in the Illinois Association of Park Districts. Rockford is the second largest Park District in Illinois (next to Chicago).

The Rockford Park District is a stand-alone type of government with a specific role and designated responsibilities to provide to people by Illinois state statute.

Rockford Park District Volunteer Information

Since the failure of the referendum of April 2003, there is an on-going maintenance and repair backlog, and people are asking what they can contribute of their time or money to help. There are many opportunities to volunteer your time and talents with the Park District, and your contribution is very welcome.
