A message from staff + special events
December 24, 2020

As the Skokie Park District operates in Tier 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan,
the following are reminders and news updates for this week.
A holiday wish for you
Greetings!

As your local provider of fun, we understand that 2020 has been an extraordinarily difficult year for the families of Skokie.

But now, as the snow begins to fall and we enter a time of beauty and renewed wonder, families will spend time together, in-person or virtually, making new memories during the many winter holidays that we celebrate in Skokie.

As we all look forward to better prospects in 2021, your park district continues to offer an abundance of classes, workshops and special events for your family this winter.

But today, our wish for you is simply peace, love of family and a few days in which you can relax, sit by a fire, read a good book, or play in the snow.

We wish you every happiness this holiday season and throughout the coming year,

The staff of the Skokie Park District
Celebrate Zoom Year's Eve with the kids
Ring in 2021 with this new family Zoom event! Mr. Bingo is back and excited to host a rockin' Zoom Year's Eve celebration!

Each family will receive a celebration kit, which includes: four party hats, four horns, four noise makers and four confetti cannons. A time will be scheduled to pick up your kit prior to the event.
