Parks and recreation are a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. The venues, programs and events managed by the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills Parks and Rec departments are where we come together as communities to learn, laugh, and to enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Throughout the year, there are numerous events and festivals taking place at or near our parks. During the summer months, both villages offer storytelling, movies, and concerts in the parks. Enjoy such amenities as playground equipment, tennis courts, splash-pads, pools, and basketball courts. There is no shortage of soccer, football and baseball fields. For large or private events, both park districts offer facility rental options. In addition to the parks, Algonquin and Lake in the Hills maintain miles of hiking, biking, and riding trails. The Illinois Prairie Path runs along the winding shores of the beautiful Fox River and through the heart of downtown Algonquin.

As both villages continue to grow so will the expansion of their public recreation areas.
