Fall is fast approaching and the staff is not stopping. The Park District has plannedfall programs and events all listed in this guide. Dance, sports, preschool, join usat the Monster Bash, Harvest Hustle 5K, Trunk or Treat, and much more. I hopeyou had a chance to visit the brand new Kirk Lane Park, it even has a zip line!

REGISTRATION INFORMATIONMost ice skating and hockey registration must be done in person at IceLand.We do this to ensure classes do not get overcrowded and proper placementin levels is achieved. It is very important that you register during thedesignated registration dates. This will help ensure that your skater gets aspot in the appropriate class and that classes are not overcrowded.Registration after the designated dates will be taken if space is still available.Timely registration allows us to schedule enough instructors for classes.
