Emergency Closings & Cancellations
Whenever an unscheduled closing or cancellation occurs, the park
district will make every effort to communicate to patrons via the park
district Rainout Hotline Service, the website glenviewparks.org, the
park district Cancellation Hotline 847-724-3337 and the metropolitan
Chicago Emergency Closing Center.
Strike Guard Alarm System The Strike Guard lightning prediction
system is designed to detect lightning in a local area BEFORE lightning
strikes. Its advance warning system allows decisions regarding dangerous
situations to be proactive, not reactive. Even though the Strike
Guard System helps assess potentially dangerous conditions, neither
the signal nor the system is intended to guarantee that conditions are
safe. Participants using outdoor facilities should take appropriate shelter
when the warning signals are activated. If the weather is threatening
but no warning signal is heard or seen, use good judgment and clear
the area. Do not wait for the warning signal to activate.
Strike Guard systems are activated each year from March – November
during the outdoor athletic season. During that time, the systems are
tested on the second Tuesday of every month intermittently throughout
the day.
Learn more on our Facility Closings page.
Equal Access to Facilities & Programs

those 17 and under, for whom special rules and policies may apply),
national origin or disability, be denied equal access to programs,
activities, services or benefits, or be limited in the exercise of any right,
privilege, advantage or opportunity.

of every month unless otherwise posted. These meetings, open to the
