In 2019 the park district will revise its Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) and is looking for input from residents. Surveys were mailed in late October to a random sample of Hoffman Estates residents. The data received will help the park district develop its CMP, which lays out a five-year plan that prioritizes future parks and facility improvements and determines which new programs and services to offer the community. The ultimate objective is to make Hoffman Estates a better place to live, work, play, and to make life fun.
Any resident who did not receive a survey in the mail will have the opportunity to complete the survey online, which will be available in the coming weeks here on the park district’s website (we will make the link available at that time). Read More »

Weather permitting, the Parks Department conducts beneficial controlled burns, also called prescribed burns, in our natural areas from fall to spring. A prescribed burn is an important tool for improving ecological conditions of important plant communities. A prescribed burn can inhibit the growth of low-quality invasive weeds while stimulating the growth and production of high-quality native plants. The site will green up quickly in the spring. The first burn is scheduled to be done at Charlemagne Park. Read More »
