The Recreation & Parks department has consistently provided access to premier recreation and leisure locations and amenities that reflect the changing needs of our growing diverse population. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our residents. Providing positive alternatives for the community and amenities to facilitate social interactions, development and continued growth. Creating lifelong memories families cherish is a wonderful byproduct of the services we provide.

One of the many reasons people choose Orland Park as the place they want to live is the parks, forest preserves, and open spaces. In an attempt to preserve some of these open spaces, the Village formed the Open Lands Fund in November 1995, with the simple goal of improving the quality of life in Orland Park by increasing the amount of open space for present and future generations. Since that time, over 300 acres of land have been permanently protected.
