2023 Bolingbrook Park District Spring Program Guide

A Letter from the Executive Director

Hello, Bolingbrook friends! Happy 2023!

I hope you've enjoyed the holiday season. A little snow right before the holidays made things interesting for everyone.

Winter is in full swing and Bolingbrook Park District is here to help warm your spirits. You will see some new services, new programs and of course, the highlight of winter: Winterfest on Saturday, February 4th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Other winter events include an animal tracks hike and animal valentine creations sponsored by our wonderful community partner, Meijer. We've also renewed our partnership agreement with AdventHealth Bolingbrook, which will bring some new health and wellness learning opportunities from their wonderful hospital personnel.

Our capital improvement (referendum implementation) plan will continue in 2023, our 5th and final year! You will see new playgrounds at Balstrode and Erickson Parks along with some additional much needed upgrades to Pelican Harbor, such as new shade structures.

As 2023 gets rolling, we will continue to evolve and meet your programming needs in the safest way possible. Whatever your interests are, our team is prepared to provide you with world-class service and the wonderful experience you have come to know and enjoy.

We appreciate you and your support more than you will ever know. Bolingbrook Park District is the place to be in 2023! Keep in mind as you shiver through winter, that it is always warm and welcoming at Bolingbrook Park District.

Sincerely,

Ron Oestreich, Executive Director

Experienced teachers create a warm, positive educational environment that fosters a child’s natural creativity and curiosity.
