Welcome to St. Charles Park District
An award recipient of the prestigious National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management which identified the Park District as one of the Best in the Nation serving a population of 20,000 - 50,000 residents. Our mission is to enrich the quality of life of Park District residents through excellence in programs, parks, facilities and services.
The Park District has served St. Charles area residents since 1911. Through a planned and aggressive acquisition program, the District has been able to protect and preserve considerable acreage of prairies, wetlands, and woodlands for the St. Charles community. With more than 1,400 acres of park land, people of all ages and ability levels can enjoy leisurely walks, running, bicycling, golfing, picnicking, boating, fishing, skating, soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, and more!
Experience the joy of learning and sharing, the thrill of adventure and discovery, and the pride of accomplishment at Park District facilities. People of all ages are encouraged to enjoy their local parks and participate in a multitude of Park District recreation programs.
Opportunities include spending quality time with family and friends, being creative with arts & crafts, wandering the wetlands and prairies, visiting unique places on trips, competing in sports, joining a fitness class or educational program, mini-golfing or golfing along the Fox River, and exploring the many wonders nature provides.
