Welcome to Play On, Palatine!, the Palatine Park District's Comprehensive Master Plan website!

We are currently developing Play On, Palatine! for our Comprehensive Master Plan. Play on, Palatine! Is the process that will determine the District's projects and goals to complete over the next five to ten years.

PROCESS

The Comprehensive Master Plan consists of five phases starting with the Analyze Phase, which identifies and assesses existing parks, facilities, programs, and amenities and compares Palatine Park District offerings to recreation benchmarks.

Next, the District will collect public opinion to understand how residents use the Park District program offerings and to identify future needs in the Connect Phase.

During the Envision Phase, the project team will build on the needs of the Park District for the next five years, developing preliminary strategies based on local and regional market characteristics; physical, cultural, and financial resources; and the expectations and needs of the community.

In the Prioritize Phase, the project team will refine the strategies developed in the Envision Phase and determine the order in which these strategies will be implemented to meet the District's most pressing needs in the Action Plan. This Action Plan will show each strategy as a step-by-step project on a five-year calendar.
​
During the Implement Phase, the results of the Comprehensive Master Plan process, including the identified community needs, implementation strategies, and the five-year action plan, will be compiled into a comprehensive report. The report will also document the findings of the Analyze and Connect Phases, showing the complete picture of the Palatine Park District's amenities and public perspective.
