FOIA Requests

The Berwyn Park District strives to maintain an open transparent government system providing the public with information related to its operation and mission. When possible the District will post documents related to park district finances, meetings, polices, and other public business on it’s website for public access. 

Requests can be submitted in writing in person, via U.S. mail, or via email. As a convenience, the District has prepared forms for your use. See our Forms Page for full Admin FOIA procedures. 

Please use the form below. We will respond as best we can, in a timely manner.
