Title
LCFPD - Lake County Forest Preserves - Illinois
Description
Our roots reach back to 1957 and a three-year-old boy who wanted to go exploring in the woods. When Ethel Untermyer's son, Frank, made his request, she asked a friend where the nearest Forest Preserve was. Like many families, the Untermyers had just moved to Lake County from nearby Chicago and were unfamiliar with the area.
The Lake County Forest Preserve District is among a select few to have received the National Gold Medal from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), placing us among the nation's best systems for parks, conservation and recreation.
The Lake County Forest Preserve District has several special use facilities in Forest Preserves throughout Lake County that offer a variety of recreational activities, history and nature education programs for schools and community groups, and rental opportunities for weddings, community events, corporate meetings and birthday parties.
