Board of Commissioners Priority: Park space is acquired and preserved for this and succeeding generations.

The Rockford Park District is your partner in establishing strong neighborhoods; it's what we're here for. Parks and recreation are a hallmark of neighborhood involvement, pride, and health.

Parks are where people of all ages gather - the little ones to climb and play; parents watching their children while talking and getting to know their neighbors; teens playing sports and hanging out in a safe environment; and grandparents relaxing, watching children play and enjoying nature.

It is good to see lots of people enjoying life in the parks. These are your parks. You are invited and welcomed here.
