The health and safety of our Park District participants and staff is a top priority.  District administration has been closely monitoring developments in the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and has been taking precautions to contain the spread of the virus.  At this time, there has been no indication of a coronavirus outbreak in our area, but we believe that prevention is imperative to the health and wellness of our participants.

• CLEAN
  • Wash your hands regularly (most especially after using the restroom and before consuming food) for at least 20 seconds with soap and water
• COVER
  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue and then throw the tissue into the trash
• CONTAIN
  • If your child is feeling sick or presenting symptoms of illness, do not send them to school or before/after school care – for the protection of other participants and staff, your child should be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications prior to returning to school or care

We encourage anyone with questions to visit the Lake County Health Department or the CDC for additional information.  We will continue to communicate as additional information as needed.

Congratulations to our Rock Star Employee of the Month-Guest Services Manager Lisa Behnke!
