Community, Connection and Recreation for All

West Chicago Parks Foundation is a Non-for-Profit providing opportunities for participation in West Chicago Park District Recreational Programs and supports enhancements enriching our parks and community.  We accomplish this through fundraising and donations. Together, we are making our community a better place to live and play.
