Protecting our natural lands for the benefit of present and future residents
“Leave only your footprints”
Our mission is to enhance and preserve the quality of life and environment, and to acquire and protect our natural lands for the benefit of present and future residents.

Long Grove Park District
The Long Grove Park District currently owns approximately 450 acres encompassing ponds and streams; wetlands and flood plans; woodlands; unique plant and wildlife habitats; trails and active recreation areas which include Gridley and Lemmon-Hill baseball fields. We offer a variety of programs and events for all ages throughout the year.
“Gorgeous trails, lots of trees and shade. So much to see between bridges, the creek and different paths to take. Very peaceful, can’t wait to return.”
