FALL 2022
It ’ s Fall !!!
Fall season is upon us , and I look forward to the beautiful changing colors throughout our wonderful community . While I walk our parks and trails through the fresh air , kicking the crunching leaves with each step , I reflect on one of my favorite seasons .
I also find myself changing my thoughts to programming that happens specifically in this glorious season . There is an abundance of activities , projects , programs , events , and fun to be enjoyed throughout our community , sponsored by the Parks , Recreation , and Forestry Department and our Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation .
Your family will find everything from our regular recreational programming to Archery , Squash , and Sally Swarthout
Introduction to Pickleball ( in the recreation center gymnasium ). The Friends of Lake Forest Library
Director of Parks , Recreation , & Forestry Book Sale , the Wildlife Discovery Center Beach Campout , 7-on-7 Flag Football , and the Scarecrow
Build-Off takes us to November . Look for the return of the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital
Holiday Boutique from November 17-19 , and don ’ t forget to mark the Santa Drive-Thru on your calendar for December 17 .
The Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation supports your parks and recreation programs and services through fundraising events hosted throughout the year . We are wrapping up summer and kicking off fall with the second annual Lake Forest Music Festival on August 20 , in the parking lot behind City Hall . The event will include great music starring Maddie & Tae , food and beverages ( tacos , tequila , etc .!), children ’ s activities , and more . In addition , The Friends also sponsor the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Market Square filled with holiday music and activities for your family throughout the afternoon , wrapping up with the lighting of the tree and thousands of twinkling lights ! See page 10 for details on The Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation and their support of our programming and facilities .
Clear blue skies , colorful leaves , and crisp air are a terrific background for our programs , special events , and community activities . Join your Parks , Recreation , and Forestry team and the Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation as we celebrate fall with an abundance of offerings for every age .
