The Tinley Park-Park District Board of Commissioners and staff wish to thank our community for their patience and perseverance through this pandemic. We are pleased to be moving into Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan effective Monday, June 1, 2020.
The District is always committed to providing facilities and programs in the safest possible environment possible. As has been the norm in Phase 2, Phase 3 requires social distancing, wearing face masks when the 6’ distancing cannot be maintained and remaining at home if you are not feeling well. Thank you for your cooperation in following these mandates when using Tinley Park-Park District facilities and parks. As of June 1, Tinley Park-Park District will have the following available to the public:
- Tony Bettenhausen Recreation Center opens for program registrations and account updates only. The hours are Monday – Friday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 2:00 pm. The walking track, coffee shop, gyms, room rentals and indoor exercise classes will remain closed.
- Some Rec Center fitness classes will be held outdoors; exact location for each class will be emailed to registered participants prior to program start date. Classes begin the week of June 8 so register now!
- Registration for summer classes is open. Restrictions currently limit the number of participants per class to 10 and require an outdoor location.
- Already open are Canine Campus Dog Park, tennis courts and park open spaces. Any gatherings are limited to 10 or fewer individuals and require social distancing and face masks.
As always, the Park District continues to follow the recommendations and requirements of the Illinois Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and other agencies. The fluidity of the situation creates frequent updates and changes. We will continue to provide these through our website, social media and emails. We look forward to seeing you soon! Stay Healthy! Stay Positive! Stay Optimistic!
May 1, 2020 – For all of our Recreation Center members you’re annual membership expiration date will be extended by the number of days we are closed! We hope to see you soon!
