Public Dialogue Opportunities and Procedures:

How can the public find out what is going on at the Park District?

The Glenview Park District Guide, a catalog of upcoming seasonal program offerings, is mailed to all residents of the district four times a year in February, May, July, and November and other information of public interest is covered in special flyers from time to time. An e-newsletter, Park It Here, with information on upcoming park district events and programs, is also distributed to subscribers twice a month. Click here if you would like to join our e-mail list to receive this informative update. The Glenview Village Newsletter at times announces special and/or joint efforts.
