One of the many reasons people choose Orland Park as the place they want
to live is the parks, forest preserves, and open spaces. In an attempt
to preserve some of these open spaces, the Village formed the Open Lands
Fund in November 1995, with the simple goal of improving the quality of
life in Orland Park by increasing the amount of open space for present
and future generations. Since that time, over 300 acres of land have
been permanently protected.
