These trips are specifically researched and designed to be as cost effective as possible. Due to the popularity of these trips, we urge you to register for them early, as they have very limited seating and are sure to sell out as soon as they go on sale.
This is part catechism class, part stand-up routine. Call it Loretta Young meets Carol Burnett. This interactive comedy is one of the longest running shows in Chicago and U.S. theater history. You, the audience member, are part of Sister’s class. She’ll take you back to the days of the Latin Mass, meatless Fridays, and remind you about that good old ruler across the knuckles.

Look for our Bargain Trips!
Victorian Mansion: A heinous murder. An English country house locked from within. Now is your chance to play detective in this spellbinding whodunit! Catch the killer by unveiling the shocking tale of betrayal, jealousy, insanity, and bloodshed that lies beneath the surface of a “proper” Victorian family. Gangster’s Treasure: “You’ll never catch me, copper!” Solve the mystery and put the bad guys behind bars before YOU swim with the fishes! Note: “The Room” is a cross between an escape room and a murder mystery event. Just like in a regular escape room, there is a series of puzzles to solve, codes to break, and secret compartments to discover, but you are also uncovering clues to the mystery all along the way. Once you’ve assembled all the clues, you get to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery using your prodigious powers of deduction. Will you catch the killer before your time runs out? Each Room will hold no more than 7 people. The Victorian Murder Mystery Room is all standing; the Gangster's Treasure it is all sitting. You will be placed in a Room based on your physical ability. If you have joint/back/foot issues, let us know at the time of registration. If the Room you are requesting is full, you will be on a waitlist for that room only.

Transforming Life’s Challenges into Opportunities About Us
Corporate Giving Programs
M-NASR, Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation, serves children, teens, adults, and seniors with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities and their families through community recreation agencies.
Do you or someone you know work for an organization with a corporate giving program? These businesses have grant/fundraising opportunities in place for 501(c)(3) not for profit organizations like M-NASR. If you do, please contact us at 847-966-5522. Sharing this information could provide immeasurable assistance to individuals with physical and mental challenges in your community.
From aquatics to camps to special events, M-NASR provides a wide range of recreation and leisure programs for people of every age, ability, and interest in our service area. We also offer inclusion services to anyone who needs assistance to participate in programs offered by member agencies.
The Liponi Foundation The Liponi Foundation for Special Recreation was formed in 1990 to facilitate participation by children and adults with disabilities in recreation programs.

M-NASR is an extension of seven member park districts: Park Ridge, Morton Grove, Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Lincolnwood, Niles, and Skokie.
Inclusion Policy M-NASR and our member agencies believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability. Although many people achieve this through participation in a M-NASR program, others have greater success in an activity held in their own recreation agency.
You Can Help! Volunteers and part-time staff are integral parts of M-NASR’s organization, allowing many individuals to enjoy recreational opportunities who otherwise couldn’t. Become a part of this diverse community and have the personal Satisfaction of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. Call Kristine Kuester at 847-9665522.
We adhere to the following principles when providing accommodations to allow for successful inclusion for individuals with disabilities in the activities of member recreation agencies: The interests and needs of an individual participant will be met, and the concerns of the family taken into account.

Safety
Illness
Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity.
For the well-being of all participants, any person who has a contagious disease or is running a fever, experiencing diarrhea, cold symptoms, or vomiting should refrain from attending programs or visiting facilities. Any contagious disease (i.e. chicken pox, measles, roseola, mumps, strep, or rubella) should be reported to a Park District staff member; as well as any cases of head lice, impetigo, or other skin disorders. Participants should be free of all symptoms for 24 hours before returning. Parents/Guardians will be called to come and pick-up their child if the child becomes ill during a class.
All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers, and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision or instruction, and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
Code of Conduct – Park & Facility Users All park and facility patrons are welcome to participate in programs, leisure activities, and recreational opportunities at the Park District. We trust our patrons to act in a civil manner and use safe practices while on Park District property. We will immediately address and take appropriate measures regarding unacceptable behavior, verbal disrespect, or abuse in order to insure the safety of all patrons and staff.
Code of Conduct Participants Safety is our utmost concern and we want all our participants to remember that good manners and behavior is essential to ensuring everyone’s safety and making your experience with us a pleasant one. We ask that you report any conduct that is not acceptable to the supervisor on duty.
We promise to provide quality recreation services. Visit prparks.org for our Satisfaction Guarantee.

New Registration System Coming in 2017! The Park Ridge Park District will launch a new registration system in 2017. The new system will offer more flexibility and provide a better program registration experience for our participants. This launch is part of a continued effort to streamline processes and improve efficiency. All household information must be updated, residency verified, and reentered into this new system in order for summer registration to be processed. The system will be available in March for households to update their information. Visit our website at prparks.org for exact launch date.
Begin Updating your household information in March. Update your information early to be entered into raffles, receive prizes, and more! Visit prparks.org for details.
