The Lemont Township Community Center opened in February 2011 and quickly became a go-to spot for community events, family parties and government meetings. The $2 million facility is the highest point in Cook County, township officials say. In addition to a 4,500 sq. foot town hall space, the building offers a full kitchen and large patio overlooking many surrounding communities.

The center was constructed as part of the Heritage Woodland Sanctuary, and also features nature preserve to observe and explore.
