Message from . . .Gina Hassett, Executive DirectorDear Frankfort Park District Patron,

As 2016 comes to a close, it provides time to reflect on the past year and evaluate your accomplishments. As you reflect, I hopethat you find that the Frankfort Park District was part of your year. Perhaps through a park visit, or maybe you learned a newskill, experienced a new place through a day trip or your child participated in a District program. As you plan for the coming year, consider participating in a program or event to enrich the year ahead. The District’s offeringsinclude programs for the all ages; toddler through adult. Offerings include wine tastings, painting parties, day and extendedtrips, youth camps, preschool & adult athletic leagues, fitness classes and more. The New Year provides an opportunity for newexperiences - Come join the fun at the Frankfort Park District! If you’re interested in a program that the District doesn’t currentlyoffer, please contact the office and let us know what you are looking to experience. No need to experience the winter blues, as winter arrives, the parks remain open. It’s a great time of year to experience the parksin a different way. Weather permitting, residents can enjoy sledding at Commissioners Park and/or ice skating at Main Park. Forupdates on the conditions of the ice rink, check the District’s website. The District staff and Commissioners look forward to serving you in the 2017! Happy Holidays from our family to yours!Sincerely, Gina HassettExecutive Director
