If you are interested in an extended overnight tour, please call our office to be put on our Interest List.

A Word to Our Customers

Patrons under 50 years of age are welcome to register during dates indicated in-person at the Park District office in the Senior Center at no additional fee (provided space is available).

A word about refunds: The senior trips, luncheons and contracted classes/special events are not refundable due to contract agreements. However, we'll be happy to help you sell your tickets if a waiting list has formed. All regular non-contract recreation programs are refundable for any unused classes, and of course, the Park District programs have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Please don't wait until the last minute to register for a program. At some point prior to the first class, we need to decide if enrollment is sufficient to hold the class.

Do you have a class or recreation program you would like to see offered? We're always looking for new ideas and instructors to teach. Call Paula Barans, Program Coordinator, at 847-797-5341 with your ideas.

Registration Notice! The senior program classes and tours are very popular and have maximum numbers that we can accommodate. If your registration is put on a "wait list" for a class, tour, or special event, the Park District staff will make a courtesy call to notify you of your status. If you have any questions regarding a refund for a senior program, please call 847-797-5341.
