Green HalloweenOnce Halloween is over, give your compost a boost with your old pumpkins, the straw you used to build scarecrows and any other organic material for great, nutrient rich soil in the spring.

Give Your Herbs ShelterIn late fall bring your summer herbs indoors to enjoy fresh basil, mint, and rosemary throughout the winter months. It takes a few weeks to transition herbs to indoor living, so start before the weather turns.

Go Fruit PickingGet some fresh produce, some fresh air, and support a local farmer or orchard with a day of pumpkin, berry or squash picking.

AquaticsSwim LessonsThe Bartlett Park District’s swim lesson program is for swimmers of all ages. Before registering for a swim lesson, review your child’s previous lesson history and age limitations of class. Due to the limited amount of space on our pool deck, parents will be asked to sit either in the bleachers or viewing area. For those who have already been in our swim lesson program, please sign your child up for lessons according to a previous swim lesson report card.

Classes fill quickly and transferring from one level to another is not always possible. If you have questions, please ask at the Registration Desk. Registration will close 3 days prior to the start of the class. Please note the time and dates of your lesson. No refunds or make-ups will be given for classes missed or forgotten. The park district reserves the right to combine class levels if deemed appropriate. Class Length: M-Th - 40 minutes. There are no classes the week of Nov 21- 26.

Parent and Tot Lessons (1-3yrs) Swim instructors will facilitate the lesson while parents act as the main instructor for the class. This class helps to develop comfort in the water, swimming readiness, floating with assistance, putting face in water blowing bubbles.

Green HalloweenOnce Halloween is over, give your compost a boost with your old pumpkins, the straw you used to build scarecrows and any other organic material for great, nutrient rich soil in the spring.

Give Your Herbs ShelterIn late fall bring your summer herbs indoors to enjoy fresh basil, mint, and rosemary throughout the winter months. It takes a few weeks to transition herbs to indoor living, so start before the weather turns.

Go Fruit PickingGet some fresh produce, some fresh air, and support a local farmer or orchard with a day of pumpkin, berry or squash picking.

Love dogs? Sign up as a volunteer for our third annual CSBarks dog festival on Sept 18!. Over 500 dogs are expected to attend, and we need volunteers to help run games, supervise the off-leash and Rover Rest areas, take photos, or help with set up and take down.

Got a group? Volunteer opportunities are also available before and after the event with set up and break down. If you are interested in gaining hands on experience in event planning and recreation or meeting new people and having fun call Kelly at 630-784-6107 or email [email protected].

Can’t attend CSBarks this year? Other volunteer opportunities include:

Sports Volunteers

Without a solid volunteer base, hundreds of local children would miss out on the experience of playing on a league team for soccer, baseball, softball and basketball. Please consider giving some time to the children of the community.

Event Volunteers

Help is always needed at our community events. General duties and responsibilities include: Assisting staff with set up, running activity stations, serving refreshments and clean up. As a volunteer you can make your own schedule!
