The Deerfield Park District was established in 1951 to provide recreation programs and facilities for residents of all ages. The park system operates on revenue received from the district's share of real estate property taxes and user fees.  

The district is governed by an elected board of park commissioners who serve four year terms of office without pay. The board meets the third Thursday of each month at the Jewett Park Community Center. Board members set policy for the district, which is administered by a director of parks and recreation and a staff of recreation professionals. The board receives community input through its citizen advisory committees, composed of appointed community volunteers, and from the general public.

For Fiscal Year 2012 the total budget for Deerfield Park District includes revenues of $13,905,053 and expenses of $14,594,453.  The District has 43 full time employees, plus over 700 part time & seasonal employees. 2012 Organizational Chart (PDF format)
