About Joliet Park District

The park system in Joliet had its start in 1899 when the City of Joliet purchased West Park (40 acres) and Highland Park (45 acres). These two parks served as the foundation for what is now the Joliet Park District. In 1920, the district was gifted 327 acres from the late Robert Pilcher, which were purchased from Harlow Higginbotham. This land is now known as Pilcher Park and is a great addition to the park district. The Joliet Park District has come a long way from the purchase of West Park and Highland Park in 1899, to the addition of Pilcher Park in 1920. It is now a thriving park system enjoyed by many local families.

FALL INTO CERAMICS
Can you imagine a better gift than your munchkin's handprints on a platter? Halloween and Thanksgiving items are available. Pick an unfinished ceramic item, paint it, and we'll fire it for you in time for the holidays. Drop in for music and painting fun! There will be a fee for each ceramic item. No ceramic items will be sold after 1:30 pm to ensure enough time to paint the pieces. All ages are welcome!
