The Wheeling Park District provides low-cost recreational and leisure programs for residents of all ages who live within park district boundaries.
Programs range from infant play groups to trips for senior citizens.
The park district maintains nine park sites and an 18-hole, 125.5 acre, golf course at Chevy Chase Country Club. The park district also operates an indoor pool at Wheeling High School and a new aquatic park, featuring flume slides, lap lanes, sand volleyball, and a hot tub. Wheeling Park District is currently building a 50,000 square foot recreation and fitness center next to the aquatic park which will open in 1994. Also, nearly 1,000 acres of Cook County Forest Preserve are within or immediately adjacent to the area. The Prospect Heights Park District is centered at the Gary Morava Recreation Center.
