About the Park District

The Deerfield Park District was established in 1951 to provide recreation programs and facilities for residents of all ages. The park system operates on revenues received from the district’s share of real estate property taxes and user fees.

The district is governed by an elected board of park commissioners who serve four-year terms of office without pay. The board meets the third Thursday of each month. Board members set policy for the district, which is administered by an executive director and a staff of recreation professionals. The board receives community input through its citizen advisory committees, composed of appointed community volunteers, and from the general public.

For the fiscal year 2024, the total budget for the Deerfield Park District includes revenues of $19,846,040 and expenses of $21,671,558. The district has 48 full-time employees, plus over 500 part-time & seasonal employees.
