Parks and Grounds

The Village currently owns and maintains over 150 acres of park lands, Illinois Nature Preserves, open space and recreational area along with more than 30 subdivision entranceway and park gardens. Many of the improvements to these areas are assisted by donations of time and money from the Lincolnshire Community Association (L.C.A.), the Lincolnshire Garden Club, the Volunteer Steward team and donations from citizens and businesses.

The Village Board has aggressively developed a Pedestrian/Bike path System. The goal of this system is to link all subdivisions in the community to the major facilities, such as the parks, downtown, Des Plaines River Trail and schools.

The Village Board accepted The Parks, Open Space and Recreation Master Plan as recommended by the Park Board. This plan lays out the goals and objectives of the Village with reference to existing and proposed park facilities, passive open space and recreational needs and desires in the community.

The Village provides more than 150 recreational programs and special events for residents to participate in. These programs are selected and provided based on resident requests, community survey and Park Board goals. These programs are self supporting through user fees. Three times per year, the Village publishes the Recreational Activities and Community Events directory and six times per year a newsletter recreation insert which list activities and programs provided by the Park Board and organizations within the community. The Village is a member of the Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County which provides recreational opportunities for residents who have disabilities.

Recreational programs are offered at the Village Hall, Rivershire Nature Center, Spring Lake Pavilion, Sprague, Half Day and Daniel Wright Schools and other local facilities as needed.

A competitive sports program (basketball, softball, baseball and soccer) is provided to children in the Village through Spring Lake Sports League, a volunteer community organization. The Village acquired and constructed North Park as a sports facility to assist Spring Lake Sports League in providing competitive sports for the children participating in baseball, softball and soccer.
