Dear Mokena Community Park District Residents,
3 Park ‘n Travel
With fall winding down and winter in our sights, it is time to start thinking about how to
stay active and engaged. The Mokena Community Park District has many exciting options for 4 Special Events
residents of all ages. The Oaks Recreation & Fitness Center offers a free walking track to all residents 8 Early Childhood Education
of the park district and open gym time throughout the week. There are also many fitness classes 9 Youth General
to help keep that summer exercise plan in place. For the Kids there are many fun and stimulating
11 Youth Dance
opportunities that will help keep them active and off their devices, from on-going classes and leagues
to special events. 12 Youth Gymnastics
As we move out of winter into spring the park district really starts to come alive. We are 13 Youth/High School Athletic
Leagues
happy to announce that next spring our brand new pickleball courts will be completed and open
for your enjoyment. These are located at Hecht Park and will be a great addition to our recreation 15 Youth Athletics
offerings. We also have exciting news regarding our maintenance facility! This winter, the Board 19 Youth Summer Camps
of Commissioners and staff will be finalizing the planning process in order to break ground on an
20 All Ages
expansion of this complex. When our current maintenance facility was built, the park district had
five parks. We have since grown to 20 parks. It is time to modernize this building so that the parks, 21 Teen/Adult Programs
facilities and machinery can continue to be properly maintained going forward. 22 Adult leagues/Athletics
Another exciting project that is in the works for 2020 is the development of Whisper Creek 24 All Ages Open Gym
Park. We have started to engage the community on what features they would like to include in this 25 Health and Wellness
park. The Park District has also applied for an Open Space and Land Acquisition (OSLAD) Grant
32 Oaks Recreation & Fitness Center
through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDRR) to help fund this project, and I am
happy to report that we have made it to the final level and will be traveling to Springfield to present 34 Parties
our plan. This matching grant will help the park district provide funding for this new park to the 35 Facility Rentals
residents of this growing area. 36 Yunker Park Amenities
I would like to take this time to thank the residents of Mokena for helping to support an 37 Park Facilities & Amenities
amazing park district that we can all be proud of. Thank you!

Looking forward to having you join us this upcoming season!
