Metro East Park and Recreation District:

The Metro East Park and Recreation District (MEPRD) was formed by voters in November 2000, and is responsible for the development of parks, trails, and greenways within the boundaries of Madison and St. Clair Counties in Illinois. The District supplements the efforts of local governments, special districts, and other jurisdictions already engaged in the management of parks and recreational facilities.

The new park district is the first of its kind in Illinois, serving over half a million residents in an area larger in size than the State of Rhode Island.
