Located at Fourth Lake Forest Preserve, our Operations and Public Safety Facility houses our preserve maintenance, construction operations, natural resources and public safety divisions. It also provides parking and trail access for the Millennium Trail.
Centrally located in Libertyville, our General Offices is where you'll find our administration, planning, natural resources, land acquisition, public affairs, education and registration divisions, as well as a public meeting room.
Although many everyday transactions can be handled on our website, such as picnic shelter reservations, Dog Park, equestrian and other permits—if you'd like to handle these things in person, our customer service staff will be happy to help. You'll find them here and at our General Offices.
