FACILITY CLOSURES
The following Dundee Township Park District facilities will remain closed through April 7.
GOLF COURSES
Golf operations throughout Illinois were given updated information on Tuesday, March 24th, from Governor Pritzker’s office through the state’s Allied Golf Associations, allowing for golf to be played during the “Stay-at-Home” proclamation.
This evening, the State of Illinois has once again changed its position on golf during these difficult times. Golf will once again be prohibited until the “Stay-at-Home” order is lifted. We will continue to follow the lead of Governor Pritzker’s office related to COVID-19, as has been our stance all along.
Rest assured, DTPD Golf has plans in place to safeguard the health and wellness of our guests and staff when the “Stay-at-Home” proclamation is lifted, and golf is once again allowed. We will provide updated communication regarding our future opening on our website, Facebook, and via email.
PARKS
Our parks will remain open at this time, but due to Governor Pritzker’s ‘Shelter in Place’ executive order, playgrounds are closed until further notice. If you visit one of our parks, you must follow CDC recommendations of practice safe social distancing of keeping a 6-foot distance from others and staying home if you are sick. Please note that restrooms will not be open at this time.
