Susannah's Gift
A scholarship fund has been established in memory of Susannah Kist through the Palatine Park Foundation. This program will assist Palatine Park District residents or groups who need financial assistance to participate in Palatine Park District cultural arts activities.
Susannah Kist taught theater, music and craft classes for the Palatine Park District for sixteen years. She lost her battle with breast cancer on December 4, 2009. Susannah wanted everyone to enjoy the arts right here in Palatine.

Military Discounts
The Palatine Park District's Board of Park Commissioners has recently adopted a new policy of awarding discounts for Park District residents who are active U.S. military personnel and their immediate families.
This policy will allow resident active military personnel, their spouses and their children to participate in two programs per registrant per season at a 50% discount. Additionally, they will be admitted to the Park District's swimming pools and recreation centers for 50% off daily admissions and golf at Palatine Hills Golf Course for the guest fee.
To obtain this discount, please bring proof of active U.S. military status to the Community Center at 250 E. Wood Street, Palatine, IL. U.S. military families will be issued park district identification cards which will enable them to receive services at the reduced rate.
