Choose Your Parks & Recreation Adventure

Discover a new side of Evanston Parks & Recreation—one mission at a time.


Choose Your Parks & Recreation Adventure is a year-round campaign that invites community members to explore new places, try new activities, meet the people behind Parks & Recreation, and experience the many programs, services and events offered throughout Evanston.
