About IPARKS

History

In 1991, Carbondale Park District and Urbana Park District executed Intergovernmental Contracts and formed IPARKS. In the 30 years that followed, IPARKS has grown to include over 170 park, recreation and conservation districts, river conservancy districts, forest preserves and special recreation agencies. The founding two members, Carbondale and Urbana Park Districts, remain valued members of IPARKS today.
