Volunteer and Vendor Information

The Waukegan Park District would not be as successful as it is today without the exceptional talents of our vendors and volunteers. Our programs, facilities and committees serve the needs of our entire community. Our volunteers play a critical role in our exceptional service delivery. Vendors enhance the user’s experience at events and programs. We offer many opportunities to get involved year-round, such as: youth sports coaching, park beautification, special events and program assistance, as well as advisory committee citizen representatives.
