District Digest

Dear Mokena Community Park District Residents and Visitors: With fall winding down and winter looming, it’s time to think about staying active and involved. The Mokena Community Park District 2022 Winter/Spring brochure has several options for all ages. Allow the newly remodeled Oaks Recreation and Fitness Center to help you reach your fitness goals. If you haven’t visited in a while, you will see that the facility has a bright, new look. It also has several membership options for all ages, including annual, monthly and Silver Sneakers memberships. The Oaks also welcomes park district residents to use the walking track for free. Other great programs include personal training, open gym and several group fitness classes, most of which are included with your membership at no additional cost. The Oaks will also be replacing equipment in early 2022. Be the first to try it out. The Park District once again offers several new programs and reinvented existing ones. These include Land of Make Believe and Somewhere Over the Rainbow for children, Music Start and Stage Stars for your future celebrities, First Aid for Kids, Adult Archery, a women’s volleyball league and numerous new teen/tween programming. Also, it isn’t too late to think of summer camp, because the Park District now offers Before and After Camp. Plus, camp will be offered all summer long. Special events include an Indoor Flea Market on January 9, Winter Jump Fest on January 17, Mother Son Bowling on February 12, the new Shamrock Search on March 12 and the Daddy Daughter Ball on May 7. Many of the programs and special events have limited space, so please don’t wait to register. If you didn’t get a chance to visit the new Whisper Creek Park, now is your chance. Whisper Creek Park, located at Regan Road and Whisper Creek Way, boasts a state-of-the-art playground, outdoor fitness equipment, basketball, dropshot and a walking trail. Another exiting project is the expansion of the Main Park Maintenance Building. The existing building has been the same since the Park District operated only 4 parks. The expansion will allow staff to maintain your beautiful parks more efficiently than ever before. Reinvent yourself in 2022. Consider stepping out of your comfort zone by joining The Oaks, discovering a new hobby or by taking a new class. By reading this brochure, you have hundreds of programs and special events at your fingertips. Beat the winter blues with the Mokena Community Park District! Sincerely, Greg Vitale, MPA, CPRP Executive Director
