Community Park West for a reverse parade, and everyone will join in a community-wide bell ringing to cap the night at 8 pm. Click here for full details. And finally, I want to thank the Glenview Park Foundation for their commitment to supporting our community. Recognizing the wide-reaching impact of COVID-19 on our community, the Glenview Park Foundation has committed up to $50,000 to support the Park District’s Leisureship Fund, which provides recreational scholarships to children from underserved families within the district. The Foundation and the Park District are developing new “Recreation in a Box” activities for fun and learning. The concept is simple -- when families can’t come to the Park District, the Park District can come to them by providing everything they need to enjoy the program at home. We’ve experienced a lot of change over the past three months, and things will continue to evolve each month still. The staff and the park board are always here for you, to help answer your questions and give you the most up-to-date information. If you ever have a question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by submitting a comment on our website or calling customer service at 847-724-5670. On behalf of the board, I hope your July is full of fun. We will see you in the parks!
