The Village of Willowbrook Parks and Recreation Department currently owns and operates over 54 acres of parks on its 10 sites throughout the Village. Its largest park, the Tony and Florence Borse Memorial Community Park contains ballfields, volleyball and basketball courts, a playground and picnic pavilions. Most of the neighborhood parks include playgrounds and a variety of active recreation facilities, picnic tables and drinking fountains. These parks are particularly attractive to the residents of their immediate area.

The Parks and Recreation Department operates a year-round recreation program for all ages. The department utilizes its parks, rented school facilities, independent contractors and cooperative agreements with other recreation agencies to deliver these recreation services. Seasonal brochures are mailed to residents in May, August and December (Fun Guide) . The Village of Willowbrook is a member of the Gateway Special Recreation Association with six other communities in providing service to persons with disabilities who do not choose to participate in the general recreation programming.
