Kenilworth Park District

What Kenilworth Park District does

Kenilworth Park District is a special purpose unit of local government operating under Illinois law to serve the residents of the Village of Kenilworth, Illinois. The district owns and manages seven parks — Mahoney Park (Wildflower and Bird Sanctuary), Centennial Park, Maggi Park, Charles Ware Memorial Garden, Townley Field, Pee-Wee Park, and North Park — and operates related facilities including the Kenilworth Assembly Hall and Village House for community use.

The district's core offerings include youth recreation programs such as summer camps and after-school child care, seasonal fall and summer programs, facility and park rentals for private events, and free public park access. Programs are registered online or in person, and the district runs an online events calendar for meetings, programs, and community activities. Marketing and distribution run primarily through the official website, Constant Contact newsletter, and the events calendar.

Revenue is generated through three streams: property tax receipts from within its jurisdiction, fees for recreational program registration, and facility rental fees. The district is governed by an elected Board of Commissioners and operates with approximately six staff members under an Executive Director, with Michael Hixenbaugh named to that role in April 2025. It has received the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for three consecutive years and lists a Kenilworth Park Foundation as "Coming Soon" in its site navigation.
