Catch up on what's happening at the Deerfield Park District!
Virtual 5K November 13-23
Run, jog, or walk a 5k alone or with the whole family along our suggested route taking you through Deerfield’s beautiful autumn parks. Take any route and log your 3.1 miles on your GPS. Register for a t-shirt and medal along with a 14-day free pass to Sachs Recreation Center where you can hit the track or use the treadmills to get your turkey busting kilometers. Share your results online or through social media.
Join us for a day of supervised fun at the Jewett Park Community Center. Children will participate in a variety of activities including games, arts & crafts, and much more! Please send your child with a sack lunch and a refillable water bottle. All safety guidelines outlined by the CDC, DCEO, and IDPH will be followed.
Are your kids ready for a night out? Bring them to the Jewett Park Community Center for an evening of supervised, socially distanced fun of creating their own vehicle out of a cardboard box with prepackaged supplies for our drive-in movie! Individually packaged slices of pizza will be provided for dinner with a small bottle of water. Masks are required for staff and participants for the duration of the program, except for dinner. Staff will ensure all participants are spaced a minimum of 6ft apart during dinner and while creating their vehicle and watching the movie.
RoboThink Family Battle Royale Workshop December 5 10am - 12pm
Have fun with your family and learn how to build robots, then battle your creations against other robots in our exciting workshop! Price is based on a team of two consisting of one adult and one child up to 12 years of age. Using RoboThink's innovative robotics bricks, motors, axles and gears, each team builds their own robot and engages them in a battle royale.
Leave your mark, on our park! The earth is your canvas in this outdoor workshop that will give participants an opportunity to create a masterpiece out of nature’s elements. Materials used for the project will vary based on what natural elements are discovered in the park. Elements may include rocks, sticks, leaves and even snow! Hot chocolate will be available to help keep our artists warm.
Gather your friends and build your own athletic program! Do you want to participate in some of the amazing programs the Deerfield Park District has to offer, but are worried about being in a class with others that you may not know? We can help you shape your own recreation “pod” experience with your friends. The Deerfield Park District is partnering with Hot Shots Sports to bring you this program. Your “pod” can have up to 9 kids. Gather your group that you feel safe participating with to start your own program and reach out to Jim Gariti 847-572-2627 or jimg@deerfieldparks.org for more information.
