Dear Mokena Community Park District Residents and Visitors:
Board of Commissioners
With fall winding down and winter looming, it’s time to think about President
staying active and involved. The Mokena Community Park District
2022 Winter/Spring brochure has several options for all ages. Allow Bob Lindbloom
the newly remodeled Oaks Recreation and Fitness Center to help Vice President
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 Steve Jacobson
membership options for all ages, including annual, monthly and
Silver Sneakers memberships. The Oaks also welcomes park district
Secretary
residents to use the walking track for free. Other great programs Mary Louise Knoerzer
include personal training, open gym and several group fitness
classes, most of which are included with your membership at no Treasurer
additional cost. The Oaks will also be replacing equipment in early Mike Gandy

Commissioner
The Park District once again offers several new programs and
reinvented existing ones. These include Land of Make Believe and Jeff Apel
Somewhere Over the Rainbow for children, Music Start and Stage Commissioner
Stars for your future celebrities, First Aid for Kids, Adult Archery,
a women’s volleyball league and numerous new teen/tween Dan Gilbert
programming. Also, it isn’t too late to think of summer camp,
because the Park District now offers Before and After Camp. Plus,
Commissioner

Indoor Flea Market on January 9, Winter Jump Fest on January 17,
Mother Son Bowling on February 12, the new Shamrock Search on Legal Counsel

Whisper Creek Way, boasts a state-of-the-art playground, outdoor Meetings are held on the
fitness equipment, basketball, dropshot and a walking trail. Another fourth Tuesday of each
exiting project is the expansion of the Main Park Maintenance month, at The Oaks

District operated only 4 parks. The expansion will allow staff to Center, 10847 La Porte
