Since March, the Northbrook Park District has monitored and followed the guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the State of Illinois while continuing to offer recreational programs and spaces for the community.
Due to recent increases in both COVID-19 positivity rates and hospitalizations, Governor Pritzker has announced that the entire state has entered Tier 3 Mitigations effective Friday, November 20. While these new guidelines call for significant changes to the programs that can be offered at this time, the District recognizes the importance of recreation for overall physical and mental health and will continue to offer as many services as possible for the community while following safety guidelines.
Properly worn face coverings are required for all in-person programs and when visiting facilities, both indoor and outdoor, no matter the level of physical exertion.
The District is currently following COVID-19 Tier 3 Mitigations including the following guidelines for the outdoor rinks:
District playgrounds, trails and open spaces remain available to those who practice physical distancing. Users are encouraged to enjoy the parks and to walk, bike, run and play while staying at least six feet away from others. Be courteous on the trails, make way for others and be sure to clean up your pet waste responsibly. Properly worn face coverings are required.
Outdoor Rentals are available to those who agree to follow all applicable Tier 3 guidelines including properly worn face coverings, group size limits and physical distancing. Rental applications and permit fees must be final prior to use of Park District property by any organized groups or businesses. Click here to complete a rental application.
