Discover What’s Possible!
Our team is always looking to find something unique to bring to our programs, parks and facilities. The Trails Challenge 2K Obstacle Course Race and Parkour at the Zone are only the beginning. We hope to see you on Saturday, October 7th for the 3rd Annual Youth 2K OCR.
River Trails Park District has a 501(c)3 Foundation. This group of residents and park district staff create opportunities to raise money, which goes directly to scholarships such as Send a Kid to Camp Campaign. In 2016, the Foundation raised over $7000 to help offset the cost of these scholarships. We are looking for energetic community members with great ideas (i.e. Glow in the Hoe Event) to help us continue to grow this great Foundation. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact me at bfahnstrom@rtpd.org. We’d love to have you join our team.
Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming park design projects. This fall we are finishing Evergreen Trails Park by replacing some of the playground features and adding a small shelter. We are also looking to start the design phase for Burning Bush Trails Park. We hope you will offer your input.
