Our environmental/conservation page is provided to inform the residents and participants of Arlington Heights Park District programs and parks to what the district is doing to help promote sound policies, procedures, and practices to work being done in the parks and facilities. We want to help everyone by providing tips and answers to FAQ's about issues that concern just about everyone.
The Arlington Heights Park District and the Parks and Planning Department are keepers of the parks for future generations. Our goal is to hand over to future generations the parks in a better condition than we were handed.
