The Park Streamwood District

What The Park Streamwood District does

Streamwood Park District is a special purpose unit of local government headquartered in Streamwood, Illinois (Cook County), founded in May 1966 and currently employing approximately 46 full-time staff with a broader workforce of 120+ including part-time and seasonal employees. The district operates 40+ parks across Streamwood and runs a portfolio of core facilities: Park Place Family Recreation Center (opened 1996, featuring fitness center, gymnasium, and indoor aquatics), the Community Center (opened 1973, undergoing phased renovation completed in May 2024), Hoosier Grove Barn (historic 1888 Landmeier dairy farm venue for weddings and events), Hoosier Grove Museum, and Little Creek Farm. The district also recently acquired Ian's Farm, an eleven-acre property planned for future maintenance and administrative operations.

The district's core service offering spans seven program categories — Aquatics, Athletics, Cultural Arts, Day Camps, Early Childhood, Fitness, and Seniors — plus memberships and facility rentals, totaling more than 100 programs annually. Technology infrastructure is conventional municipal: a WebTrac online registration portal, the streamwoodparks.org website, facility management systems, and lightning prediction systems at outdoor parks. Distribution occurs through online and in-person registration, with resident-priority pricing and non-resident surcharges; programming is delivered across all age segments, from Building Block Preschool through the Golden Agers Senior Club (adults 55+).

Revenue is generated through a mix of property tax levy (the district's own taxing authority as a special purpose government), program and activity fees (subscription and transactional), annual and monthly fitness/aquatic memberships, facility and event rentals (notably Hoosier Grove Barn weddings and events), and state grant funding (OSLAD, DCEO). Strategic capital reinvestment is currently active, with over $2M deployed across Community Center renovation, Ian's Farm development, Aquatic Center pool renovations, Park Place improvements, and Butterfly Park redevelopment, partly funded by $767K+ in state grants. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Commissioners and led by Executive Director Jeff Janda, CPRE, with no private equity, venture, or external institutional ownership.
