Through community involvement in master planning in 2018 and a series of studies and community surveys conducted 2019-2022, Prospect Heights Park District residents identified priority projects to benefit all park users, from youngest to oldest. These projects include:

  • Construction of a new recreation center to replace Gary Morava Recreation Center
  • Construction of a new aquatic facility to replace Lions Park Pool
  • Installation of a new outdoor playground at Lions Park
  • Addition of new tennis, pickleball and basketball courts

Additional work will also include demolishing the administrative building and garage and moving all staff to the new recreation center, construction of a Parks Department garage and doubling the current parking lot to accommodate more than 200 vehicles.
