THE FUN STARTS HERE!
INFORMATION
Programs in this Brochure As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Tinley Park-Park District staff is working hard to offer recreation programs in various formats to meet the needs of our customers. These include programs in-person, outdoors and via ZOOM online, and take-home kits. In this Virtual Program Guide we include classes from our 2021 Winter Spring Brochure that are in the ZOOM and take-home kit formats, as well as classes that will transition to virtual should this be required by changes to the COVID-19 restrictions. This Guide also includes special events and programs not listed in the regular brochures. Check back often so you don’t miss any of the new programs and events we will add throughout the year!
COVID-19 Information and Updates As Tinley Park-Park District prepared this brochure, the unprecedented restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic affected program and event planning. Decisions were made using the recommendations of the State of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control in place at that time. To limit attendance, many special events now require advance registration, have multiple sessions and/or staggered start times. Class enrollment limits are reduced to stay within limitations in effect at the writing of this brochure. The Park District will continue to adapt activities and events to adhere to the most current recommendations and guidelines. Providing a safe and healthy environment for all patrons and staff to enjoy our programs and events remains our priority. All changes and updates will be posted to our website and social media channels.
