In-Person Programs Resume


In-person programming will resume Monday, January 25th at parks across the city after the State adjusted metrics that determine COVID-19 restrictions for Illinois regions. Winter programs previously scheduled to begin January 4th were suspended in accordance with the State’s Tier 3 Resurgence Mitigation plan to suppress the spread of COVID-19. Under the current guidelines, limited, socially distanced programming will be offered at parks across the city. Programs will run from January 25th through March 28th. In order to adhere to strict capacity limits, all in-person participants must register. Masks must be worn at all times. Virtual programs continue as originally scheduled running from January 4th through March 21.
