                              DEAR RESIDENTS,

      Dennis O’Donovan        I think we can all agree that this pandemic owes us a few more months of
         PRESIDENT            summer fun. But unfortunately that is not going to happen, and summer is
     dod@niles-parks.org
                              winding down. I would like to thank all the employees for making the pool,
                              camps, golf course, and parks, safe for all ages to have fun during this time.

                              Fall is fast approaching and the staff is not stopping. The Park District has planned
                              fall programs and events all listed in this guide. Dance, sports, preschool, join us
                              at the Monster Bash, Harvest Hustle 5K, Trunk or Treat, and much more. I hope
        Scott O’Brien         you had a chance to visit the brand new Kirk Lane Park, it even has a zip line!

                              Fall is a fun time to be at the parks, come check us out. It is a great place to visit.
