Grayslake Park Foundation

Come Grow with Us!
The Grayslake Park Foundation is an independent and volunteer driven 501-C3 nonprofit organization established to support and strengthen the Grayslake Community Park District. We focus on providing additional funding for park and facility enhancements, camp scholarships, and other essential meaningful programs like the Memorial Tree Program.

Every donation and volunteer hour furthers our mission. We believe in the power of parks and in the people that make them flourish.  Join us in enhancing our community and its parks for future generations.

OUR FOCUS
HONOR A LIFE OR AN EVENT WITH OUR MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM
One of the most meaningful initiatives supported by the Grayslake Park Foundation is the Memorial Tree Program. Through the generosity of our community, dozens of trees have been donated to our parks, each serving as a lasting tribute to loved ones and special events for generations to come.

We are now taking orders for tree planting! Please click the button below to fill out our form!

SEND KIDS TO CAMP WITH SCHOLARSHIPS
Each year, the park district offers countless camps and programs for kids of all ages. Thanks to donations and fundraising, the Grayslake Park Foundation proudly helps the park district provide camp scholarships for families needing extra help. This year we are aiming higher. We want to grow our scholarship fund to open more doors for local kids to explore, play and learn.

Your support means more smiles, friendship and life changing experiences for Grayslake kids!
