With your support, we will ensure that our Parks & Recreation Department remains the wonderful asset that many will enjoy for generations to come. While the proceeds from our fundraiser events support the Lake Forest Parks & Recreation Department, we also accept donations that go directly to our General Donation Fund, the Deerpath Golf Course Renovation Project, or any of the programs of Lake Forest Parks & Recreation listed below.

The Friends of Lake Forest Parks & Recreation Foundation's new membership campaign is an exciting opportunity to support the growth and improvement of Lake Forest Parks & Recreation programs and facilities.

Since 2000, the Friends has committed more than one million dollars in funding our mission of supporting Lake Forest Parks and Recreation, connecting our community, and enriching lives. Additionally we help build beautiful parks, make improvements, and expand recreational activities.
We offer three membership tiers:
  • Friend for $100/year
  • Best Friend for $250/year
  • Best Friend Forever for $500/year.
Each tier includes a Friends car magnet and an invitation to exclusive members-only events, with additional perks such as 4th of July admission and VIP tickets for the higher tiers.
By becoming a member, you actively support our parks and recreation system and the foundation's mission of helping build and improve beautiful parks, organizing and hosting community events and activities, and managing and executing philanthropic gifts relating to the parks and public spaces in Lake Forest. Your membership fee goes directly to these efforts.
