BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
staff has worked diligently to ensure a safe and healthy implementation
of programs.
That being said, your Park District and Sanctuary Golf Course Staff are
ready for a fresh new year with fun programs and events for the New
Lenox residents. The cold winter is quickly approaching, and the Park
District staff began winterizing the splash pads, fields and parks. But no
need to worry, again this year, patrons will be able to enjoy the winter
landscape at Hibernia Park as they walk or run around the 0.57-mile
trail. At times, path may not be plowed or cleared of any snow or
ice. Please note that the path will not be salted and to proceed with
caution. Also, how could I forget to mention that the Park District Ted Schulz, President
was awarded a National Fitness Campaign Grant that will bring a
whole new level of fitness opportunities to the Lincoln-Way Area!
We are excited to announce that this fitness court is slated to begin
construction this Spring.
For those of you looking for some holiday fun, grab your ice skates
or rent some at Christmas in the Commons beginning Saturday,
December 5 at 4:00pm! The Ice Rink will be open every day starting
December 5 through January 4. Please be sure to visit our website to
find skate rentals and hours. As always, we thank all our local sponsors
for supporting the Ice Rink for the community members to enjoy.
So, what’s new for Recreation Department? As usual, we will be Brian Fischer, Vice President Dale Larson, Secretary
offering a large selection of programs during the upcoming winter
months including some Zoom and Esport options. But I want to
highlight a great asset that all our Park District participants can use -
our “Monthly Newsletter”. This Newsletter, which will be emailed in
the beginning of the month, will contain items such as: upcoming
special events and programs, reminders of important dates such as
registration sign-up and times and ways to thank our local sponsors.
