Our administrative offices are located at 12804 S. Highland Ave. Blue Island, IL 60406. Blue Island Park District History The Blue Island Park District was established in 1909. There is great history all around our park. Some of our historic facilities include Hart Park and our Memorial Park Pool. Our Pool was built in the 1930's under President Roosevelt's New Deal. It is one of the oldest pools in the midwest that is still operational. For more on our history, view our Memories in the Park Slide Show.

The program encourages community residents to assume more responsibility for the activities taking place in their own neighborhood. Residents keep watch over neighborhood parks to help make them a safe haven for youth. Implementation of this program effectively prevents crime and vandalism in our parks. And the tremendous value of connecting people to their parks through Eagle Eye^SM is nearly impossible to measure.
