What do you like most about volunteering with the Vernon Hills Park District?

We enjoy working with the friendly park district staff and helping with events that bring such joy and excitement to the community. We especially like engaging with the children at events as they are always enthusiastic and eager to bring out the fun.

What inspired you to begin volunteer work with us?
Throughout the 25 years we’ve lived in Vernon Hills, we’ve enjoyed many of the wonderful programs, parks, and other properties of the Vernon Hills Park District (especially the pools!) We are so proud to live in a community that offers all the amenities we have here.
