The New Lenox Community Park District, incorporated in 1969, is located in Will County and is 40 miles south of Chicago. The Park District serves residents living within the Village of New Lenox and New Lenox Township, which encompasses an area of approximately 32 square miles. Our District provides a wide range of recreational activities, a championship-quality golf course (the Sanctuary), banquet facilities and district-wide special events. The District also manages 40 park sites and athletic fields.
The New Lenox Community Park District provides over 300 programs each year to both residents of New Lenox and nonresidents. To provide quality programming at affordable pricing, the Park District’s financial reporting is one that other park districts model. For 15 straight years, our Business Services Department has been awarded the prestigious Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association.
