Growth, dedications and renovations continued in the 2000s. The District received its third Gold Medal for Excellence in Park District Management in 2004 and achieved Distinguished Agency Accreditation in 2010.

The District recognized key figures in its history dedicating Atcher Island Water Park in 2005, Russ Parker Park in 2006, Jerry Handlon Administration Building in 2004, Kay Wojcik Conservation at Oak Hollow in 2009, John Selke Waterfront at Volkening Lake in 2009 and the Macnider Cross Country Course at Hoover Park in 2011.

Sport facilities and programs grew with the launch of Dodgeball Days and the establishment of the National Amateur Dodgeball Association in 2000; the opening of the Sport Center, a 110,000 sq.ft. indoor sports facility, in 2003; Nancy Wroblewski Skate Park at Olympic Park in 2007; and synthetic fields at Olympic Park in 2008.

The District’s pools underwent improvements with the opening of Atcher Island Water Park, construction of a lap pool at Schaumburg Tennis Plus in 2005, and the grand re-opening of The Water Works in 2007.

In 2010, renovations were complete at Meineke Recreation Center. Tribute Park at Volkening Lake opened in 2012 to commemorate and honor memories, special events and achievements of Schaumburg residents and others who make a positive impact on the community. The Schaumburg Park Foundation funded the renovation of the Nature Museum at Spring Valley in 2013.
