Community Information

Neighborhood Services

This committee was established in 1992 by Mayor Richard N Scheck to respond to residents who need assistance but don't know where to go. The Volunteer Block Captains open lines of communication, reach out to people, and create "family bonds" between neighbors. Meetings are held throughout the year.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call either Carol Spale at 708-447-4932 or the Parks and Recreation Office at 708-442-5515.

North Riverside residents age 55 or older or who are disabled or handicapped can sign up at the Parks and Recreation Department for a picture ID that will enable you to get discounted transportation for medical appointments and shopping in North Riverside. For more information, call 708-442-5515.

Pace Bus Program

Along with the NR Rider Program, the Village of North Riverside has now implemented the Resident Pace Bus Program geared towards servicing the transportation needs of Senior Citizens and those with disabilities.

Co-Op Programs

For some of our programs and trips, we "co-op" with Brookfield and Westchester allowing residents from both communities to pay the same price.

The Giving Tree

A beautiful leaf on our tree is a perfect way to honor a loved one. Leaves are available for purchase at $60 each to be added to our Giving Tree located in the Village Commons hallway. We also have additional accessories that can be ordered at various prices. Please call the Parks and Recreation Office for more information. Come view our beautiful tree and choose your special leaf or accessory!
