Welcome to the website for the Village of Algonquin!
Parks & Recreation Facilities
The Village of Algonquin is home to 21 developed parks, featuring more than 130 acres of recreational space and an additional 200 acres of natural areas.
Parks are a valuable part of any community—they support physical and mental well-being, encourage social connection, provide access to nature, and enhance overall quality of life. In Algonquin, parks serve as gathering places for families, friends, and neighbors, offering opportunities to play, explore, and unwind. These outdoor spaces contribute to a healthier, more connected, and vibrant community.
To support these community benefits, the Village of Algonquin divides park responsibilities between two departments. The Recreation Department manages programming and pool operations, while Public Works maintains parks, facilities, and natural areas—ensuring these spaces remain clean, safe, and welcoming for all.
Places to Gather & Play
Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to unwind or a lively place to play, Algonquin’s parks offer something for everyone. Parks are open from dawn to dusk, unless otherwise noted on-site or during special events. Please help keep them clean by using trash containers and picking up after your pets. All pets must be leashed at all times. A full listing of parks can be found below.
