Community Park District Rec Programs Cancelled

The Community Park District is postponing or cancelling all recreation programs through Monday, April 6.

The Community Park District, in conjunction with the decisions from District 102 and District 95, is postponing or cancelling all recreational programming beginning Tuesday, March 17 through Monday, April 6. This includes Ready Teddy Preschool and Footlight Players rehearsals. For these programs specifically, our staff is working diligently to create at home activities and ways to help minimize the impact of an extended break. We hope to resume most recreational operations by Tuesday, April 7.

Although there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in D102, D95, or the Community Park District, the increasing number of cases, along with the expectation they will continue to emerge, have prompted the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to advise communities to start identifying mitigation strategies to eliminate community spread.

To protect those most vulnerable to serious illness and slow the transmission of COVID-19, we have also cancelled the April 4th Easter Egg Hunt, and all senior programming until May 1. The performance of Seussical Jr. has been postponed until further notice.

As the Community Park District Summer Brochure is scheduled to be delivered during this time, we encourage you to use our phone and online registration options as you schedule your summer activities. We will make every effort to ensure that staff is available during regular operational hours to answer any questions you may have.

Please understand that as information evolves regarding COVID-19, these dates may change. We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate program specifics as they develop. Please watch your email and www.communityparkdistrict.org for updates.
