Golf Maine Park District

What Golf Maine Park District does

Golf Maine Park District is a quasi-municipal government entity operating under Illinois park district law, providing recreational programs and facility services to residents of the unincorporated section of Maine Township in Cook County, Illinois. The district operates two recreation centers: Feldman Park Recreation Center in Niles (8800 Kathy Lane), which houses a gymnasium, indoor basketball/volleyball courts, multi-purpose room, indoor track, and exercise equipment; and Dee Park Recreation Center in Des Plaines (9229 W. Emerson Street), which offers outdoor courts, ball fields, a Kurland Student Center, Gaming Arena, and a water spray park. Programs span youth (ages 4-17) and adult (18+) segments and include structured sports leagues (basketball, volleyball, soccer), instructional classes (tennis, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, boxing), summer leisure camps, special events, and facility rentals.

The district's technology stack is conventional: program registration, scheduling, and member management run on the RecDesk third-party platform, supported by a Wix-based public website and active social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube). There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, no public API, and no app — operations rely on standard recreational facility infrastructure paired with off-the-shelf SaaS tooling.

Revenue is generated through per-session program registration fees ($47–$300 per session depending on the program), facility rental fees (with minimum 2–3 hour blocks and differentiated indoor/outdoor pricing), and water spray park private rentals, supplemented by property tax revenue typical of Illinois park districts. The district is governed by a five-member elected Board of Commissioners and led by Executive Director Kevin Hubka, CPRP, with a management team of approximately 11–50 employees including a Business Manager, Superintendent of Maintenance, and Superintendent of Recreation. Customer acquisition is community-led via direct-to-consumer channels (in-person, phone, RecDesk online portal) with no enterprise sales motion and a localized community sponsor ecosystem (Patel Brothers, Caruso's Pizza, NYC Halal Eats, among others).
