Our Mission

The mission of the Hoffman Estates Park District is to enhance the quality of life of our residents and guests by providing first class parks, facilities, programs, and services.

Our Community Commitment

The Hoffman Estates Park District remains committed to providing the best recreation and leisure services to our community. With our "satisfaction guaranteed" pledge, residents and their guests can be assured that the Hoffman Estates Park District staff will work to not only meet expectations, but to exceed them.

Best of Hoffman

Each month the Hoffman Estates Park District staff and commissioners review the District's volunteers and participants, searching for men, women, and children who best illustrate the "Best of the Best" in Hoffman Estates. These people are then recognized at a Park Board meeting and presented with a Board proclamation naming the recipient "Best of Hoffman." We are lucky and honored to be affiliated with these individuals.

April, 2008

The April 2008 Best of Hoffman Award went to the Fury U16 Girls Hockey team for volunteering their time to help make our "Girls Hockey and Skating Week" a success!

The girls came and donated their time volunteering on the ice for our American Girl Skating event, and thanks to their efforts, it was a fun and safe activity to celebrate the kickoff of a week long event. Thanks to every member of the team!
