Park Ridge Park District Board Meetings are held on the first and third Thursday of each month. The public is invited to attend the meetings. The meeting will be held at the Wohlers Hall Administrative Building located at Prospect Park, 733 N. Prospect Ave.

Join us for an spooktacular drive-thru trick or treat experience you and your family will never forget. We are taking over the entire parking lot at Centennial Fitness and Activity Centers. Each car drives through multiple trick or treat stops hosted by the Park District, local businesses, and other organizations. Participants are encouraged to dress up and decorate their cars.

The entire family will enjoy the peaceful night air while sitting around a fire listening to stories, singing songs, and making everyone’s favorite - s’mores! Enjoy a night hike around the pond. 

Turn your family into scientists and explore fun science concepts with us! Make cool discoveries through experiments, projects, and play. There are different activities each month. Please register only one member of your family and dress for mess! 

Do you pride yourself with the scariest or cheeriest Halloween house décor? Let’s see how creative Park Ridge can be! Register for our outdoor Halloween House Decorating Contest. All homes will be judged on Monday, October 23 between 5:30pm-8:30pm by Park District staff.

Middle Schoolers, grab your swimsuit, towel, and friends and head over to the Centennial Fitness Center for a private pool party! Pre-registration is required and no at-the-door registration will be accepted.
