Text

The governing body of any municipality, park district, or school district may dedicate and set
apart for use as playgrounds, recreation centers, and other recreation or character-building
purposes and community centers, lands or buildings, or both, owned or leased by such
municipality, school district, or park district, and not dedicated or devoted to another,
inconsistent public use. A municipality, school district, or park district, in such manner as may
now or hereafter be authorized or provided by law for the acquisition of lands or buildings for
public purposes by such municipality, school district, or park district, may acquire or lease lands
or buildings, or both, within or beyond the corporate limits of such municipality, school district, or
park district, for community centers, playgrounds, recreation centers, or other recreation and
character-building purposes. When the governing body of such municipality, school district, or
park district, so dedicates, sets apart, acquires, or leases lands or buildings for such purposes,
on its own initiative, it may provide for their conduct, equipment, and maintenance according to
the provisions of this chapter by making an appropriation from the general municipal, school
district, or park district funds.
