LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Hello Friends,
As winter settles in and spring is in the near future, I want to take a moment to thank you for being such an integral part of the Sandwich Park District and this amazing community. This time of year, is truly special in our parks; a time where the snow and frost cover the parks and fields and offers feelings of peace to the area. If you have not taken the opportunity, I encourage you to go out and enjoy a peaceful winter walk through the park.
Our team has been busy preparing a full program guide of winter and spring activities designed to bring joy and fitness to all ages. From ice skating at Knights Park and winter walks through Harvey Creek to the return of our ever-popular Spring Egg Hunt, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We’re also working behind the scenes to ensure our parks remain safe, clean, and beautiful throughout the seasonal transition.
