OUR PURPOSE

Whether it’s by offering wholesome programs, activities and special events, by providing enjoyable facilities or by preserving the aesthetic beauty of our community, the sole purpose of Zion Park District is the enrichment of lives.

Youth Recreation BASKETBALL

BATON

“Rookies” have been teaching kids to play this highly rewarding, fast paced game. We love basketball and it shows in every single clinic. Our coaches have a lot of experience and will work hard to make sure your children have a great time. They will also make sure that you see a solid improvement in their love, knowledge and skill level for the game. No equipment needed with the exception of gym shoes and a good attitude.

Learn the basics of baton twirling in the beginner class and then work your way into the Razzle Dazzles baton teams and corps. All twirlers will be given an opportunity to march in local parades, perform in shows and attend competitions. Baton twirling develops coordination and confidence. Zion Park District offers a wide variety of classes for each group and level. Participants will be measured for a baton on the first day of class if needed.

Often times a question arises as to who is a resident of the Park District. A resident must live within the boundaries of Zion Park District. It’s sometimes easy to confuse residency with a Zion mailing address. Many people in the area surrounding Zion have a five-digit Zion mailing address. These five-digit addresses are located in the county and are not within the boundaries of Zion Park District. A tax bill, voter registration card, or vehicle sticker receipt will help to establish your residency. The park district staff will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding these fees.
