President’s Letter

Greetings from your New Lenox Community Park District!

As the summer season comes to a close for the Park District, I am thrilled by the momentum we have built. Exciting things are on the horizon as we transition into fall. 

The fall season will feature youth sports leagues including soccer and basketball, providing a great opportunity for kids to learn new skills and foster teamwork in a supportive environment. Don’t miss out on the family fun at the Big Bad Pumpkin Party, the Halloweenie Roast, and our Noon Year’s Eve Party!

Additionally, the Friends of the Park Foundation will host their Empty Bowls event at the Village of New Lenox’s Last Call Before Fall on September 21, supporting the New Lenox Township Food Pantry. They will also organize their annual Meta-Mucil 50+ Golf Outing on October 15. For more details and registration, visit their website at nlfop.square.site.

Explore the unique bus trips this fall, including Oktoberfest with the Die Kellerknaben Pola Band, The Full Monty at Paramount Theater, Autumn on the River, the Christkindlmarket Aurora, and a trip to Newport, Rhode Island. Experience these adventures with us!

The Sanctuary Golf Course was bustling this summer, with our new driving range attracting golfers of all levels and outings keeping the staff busy. Visit The Sanctuary website for fall driving range and tee time availability. 

At the New Lenox Community Park District, we are dedicated to providing exceptional recreational and educational opportunities for all residents. Whether you’re looking to stay fit, explore new hobbies, or simply connect with your neighbors, we have something for you this fall. 

Remember… try a new program, attend a new event and be active in your community!

Sincerely, 

Ted Schulz

Park Board President
