The Chicago Park District is committed to providing Chicagoans the opportunity to keep active this spring.
We have designed a well-balanced selection of in-person and online programs for all ages and interests. The safety of all our guests and staff is a priority. All in-person programs will run in accordance with state and city guidelines, limiting the number of guests we can safely program for at each park. For those who prefer online classes, a variety of virtual classes are available. These programs provide the opportunity to stay active, both mentally and physically, while socializing with others from the comfort and safety of your home.
