RESTORE ILLINOIS PHASE 4 UPDATE
We are excited for the opportunity to move to Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Plan. Staff has worked to prepare increased in-person programming that adheres to the guidelines of the Restore Illinois Plan, while also ensuring an enriching participant experience. We will continue to closely monitor the local, state and national responses, and follow the recommendations put forth by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For the safety of all employees, patrons and vendors, the Oswegoland Park District requests that all facility guests and program participants over the age of 2 follow IDPH guidelines and wear face coverings when entering buildings and any time when 6 ft of social distancing cannot be maintained.
