Take a look at the district's Annual Report for '23-'24

During fiscal year 2023-24, your Skokie Park District again served as a national and state leader in the parks and recreation industry, continuing to provide state-of-the-art facilities, beautiful parks, and cutting-edge programming for Skokie residents.


In order to maintain this standing, the district utilized its five-year comprehensive master plan to schedule capital improvements for fiscal year 2023-24, as well as updating its programs through its programming trends task force, and upgrading it’s web server capabilities to enhance customer registration.


The following is a review of the operations of the Skokie Park District, May 2023 through April 2024.
