Chicago Park District
The Chicago Park District is the oldest and (financially) largest park district in the United States, with a $385 million annual budget. It has the distinction of spending the most per capita on its parks. Today, there are over 580 parks included in the Chicago Park District as well as 31 beaches and 2 conservatories. The parks are also host to sports and recreational programs throughout the year. The district is an independent taxing authority as defined by Illinois State Statute and is considered a separate (or "sister") agency of the City of Chicago. The Park District's General Superintendent & CEO – currently Michael P. Kelly – is appointed by the Mayor of Chicago and confirmed by the Board of Commissioners.〔(Office of the General Superintendent & Chief Executive Officer )〕 The Chicago Park District's Headquarters are located in the Time-Life Building in the Streeterville neighborhood.

Thanks to 10 lakefront harbors located within a number of parks along the lakefront, the Chicago Park District is also the nation's largest municipal harbor system.
A number of Chicago Park District parks are located in the vicinity of or even adjacent to a number of Chicago Public Schools. This design was done in order to make it easier for public school students and faculty to incorporate school assignments or physical activities into the learning experience. Additionally, a number of Chicago Public Library locations are located within Chicago Park District facilities.
