Long Grove Park District Partnering for Success

The Long Grove Park District has been working hard in collaboration with local businesses and our neighboring villages, to create new offerings for our residents. From sports to fitness to online classes, we now have a wide variety of programs to choose from.

Now that the sun is shining, fall in love with America's greatest pastime! One of our most exciting partnerships is with the Hawthorn Woods Park District. We are excited to offer an all new co-ed baseball league for ages 4 to 9 years old. We are featuring this instructional program for players of all levels who enjoy the game of baseball and want to play in a positive, fun, inclusive and constructive environment. The league will provide instruction at practices and during game play to improve a player's individual skills and team strategies. Players will build character as we focus on sportsmanship, individual skills, teamwork, and positive attitude. The season will end with a "Parents vs. Kids" game followed by an all-league barbeque. So, dust off your mitt and we will provide the rest!

If you're looking for education meets adventure with your little explorer, come to Reed-Turner Woodland in Long Grove for Woodland Wednesdays. In this mixed-age class, toddlers and caregivers will explore Reed-Turner Woodland Preserve, develop respect for the local wildlife habitat, observe the changing seasons, and engage in imaginative play and story time.

Or perhaps you're interested in a little self-care? Join us for this 10 week program which connects nature, mind and body. We will start each session with a hike on the trails at Reed Turner Woodland Nature Preserve, followed by a half hour of gentle yoga and meditation in the courtyard behind the Nature Center. This class is about getting outside, and connecting with nature, your body, and your community.
