The Hanover Park Park District
With 21 parks and facilities, the Hanover Park District brings the community together through shared green space, seasonal events, and outdoor activities. Each park offers something slightly different; guests can game it up at Edgebrook Park's playground and basketball court, or explore nature with Heritage Park's fishing, biking trails, picnic area. During the warmer months, the Seafari Springs Aquatic Center creates a watery wonderland with water slides and pools, while local garden plots encourage community members to plant fruits and vegetables. In addition to these facilities, the park district hosts a variety of events for all ages.
Thank You to the Hanover Park Lions Club and the Village of Hanover Park
The staff and commissioners of the Hanover Park Park District take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members of the Hanover Park Lions Club and the Village of Hanover Park for their generous financial donations that make participation in recreation programs possible for the children of families experiencing financial hardship. Working together, the Hanover Park Youth activity Supplement Program of the Village of Hanover Park and the Lions Club have assisted many families in Hanover Park to provide activities such as karate, dance, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, swim lessons, aquatic facility passes, and summer camp for their children. Since 1998, more than 100 individual scholarships have been awarded totaling nearly $20,000. Thank you, Lions Club and Village of Hanover Park. Through your dedication, cooperation, and generosity, you have enriched the lives of many children by giving them the opportunity to participate in our Park District’s programs.
