Join the Carol Stream Parks Foundation board

Make a difference in the Carol Stream community! The Carol Stream Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing additional financial support for public parks and recreation programs of the Carol Stream Park District.

It is managed by a board of directors of service-minded individuals who live or work locally and are passionate about providing a strong financial foundation for parks and recreation in the community.

Since its inception in 2012, the foundation has contributed more than $20,000 to the park district's scholarship fund.

In addition, the foundation installed two bike fix-it stations for cyclists, and a bench outside Coral Cove Water Park. The popular annual Duck Race is held by the foundation, and just recently the first Foundation pickleball tournament was held. The foundation also worked with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Village of Carol Stream, and many individual contributors to help fund and build the Veterans Memorial Plaza at Town Center.

If you are looking to engage in community improvements, to enrich the lives of local families, and to participate in family, park district or village events, join the Carol Stream Parks Foundation.
