Glenview Park District - Outdoor Walking Paths

Parks

Outdoor Skating & Sledding

The Glenview Park District will offer outdoor sledding and ice skating at two locations during the 2008-2009 winter season:

Flick Park, 3600 Glenview Road
Johns Park, 2101 Central Road

Both sled hills and ice skating rinks are lighted for evening activities and closed nightly at 10:00 pm.

Sledding is permitted at both parks when snow is considered by the park district to be deep enough. When weather conditions allow (several days of below freezing temperatures), park district staff will begin flooding the ice rinks at Flick and Johns Parks. It takes a minimum of three days of below freezing weather to produce safe ice. Signs will be posted at the Flick Park entrance on Glenview Road and the Johns Park entrance on Central Road when sledding and skating is permitted on any given day.

Please call (847) 604-1893 after 10:30 am for current rink/sled hill conditions.

There is no supervision or warming facilities at sledding or skating locations. Anyone using sled hills or ice rinks should be aware that the risk of injury is present. The Glenview Park District encourages everyone to participate in these activities in a safe manner and suggests that children be supervised by a responsible adult.
