In accordance with Governor Pritzker’s announcement to lift the indoor mask mandate, masks will be recommended but no longer required at Glenview Park District programs, events, and facilities for participants, visitors, and staff, beginning on Monday, February 28. Proof of vaccination will no longer be required to enter and use our facilities.

Please note areas that must continue to wear masks.

• Staff and patrons days 6-10 after testing positive after ending isolation
• Staff and patrons days 1-10 after a COVID-19 exposure

Although masks will not be required, we invite visitors to wear a mask based on their personal preferences informed by their personal levels of risk. We ask for your continued kindness and grace to our community members, including our staff, as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances.

We thank you for your patronage to our services, programs and facilities. We also thank you for understanding the need to follow the required mitigations throughout this pandemic. We look forward to continuing to serve you and welcoming many of our friends and new customers back to the Park District.

Over the past week, the Cook County Department of Public Health has updated the Mitigation Order 2021-11. This update now requires guests 19 years of age and older participating in health and fitness classes, adult sports, and events where food is being served, to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19. All youth programs will be exempt from this mandate. See more details by facility below.

Masks continue to be required for all patrons ages 2 and older while visiting all indoor facilities. Mitigation Order 2021-11 maintains the indoor mask requirement for all people in indoor setting that was issued in Mitigation Order 2021-10.  No provisions of the masking order have been altered.

Proof of vaccination means:

• A CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card; or
• An official immunization record from the jurisdiction, state, or country where the vaccine was administered; or
•  An ‘app’ that provides a digital record of vaccinations; or
• A digital or physical photo of such a card or record that includes the individual’s name, the vaccine brand administered, and the date the vaccination was administered.
• For those ages 16 and older, identification must accompany proof of vaccination. Identification includes a driver’s license, government ID, passport, or work or school identification card that corresponds to vaccination proof.

Park District ID Cards

The park district can add your vaccination status to your park district ID card that can be scanned when you enter to make check-in easier. Park district ID cards can be used at the Fitness Center and Splash Landings. The same ID card can be used at both locations; if you already have an ID card, we will update your account. If you don’t currently have an ID card, you can get one at the Park Center front desk or the fitness center front desk. The park district will not be collecting copies of health records. You can come in person to one of these facilities during our hours of operation to show your proof of vaccination, and we will mark your account status as verified.

> Cook County Department of Public Health Order 2021-11 (amended 1/3/22)

As the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) mandate continues to evolve, we want to make sure we keep our community informed of the most recent changes and how they impact the park district. Please know we are doing our best to navigate a very challenging situation and to ensure the safety of all. As a government agency, the Glenview Park District is required to comply with Mitigation Order 2021-11.

As of December 31, 2021 there have been several important updates to our policies; most notably we will be implementing a 7-day grace period for vaccination requirement. This requirement will not apply to youth athletics or programming, but will apply to some of our facilities. We are still reviewing the mitigation order and will be releasing information about how this order will impact the park district within the coming days.

Along with other Cook County Park Districts we are proactively drafting correspondence to the CCDPH to request an exemption for youth. We will continue to share information as it becomes available. If you have additional concerns, we encourage you to directly contact Cook County at healthycook@cookcountyhhs.org

After a long, challenging journey we have finally made it to Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois Plan! You no longer need to make a reservation when visiting our facilities, spectators are welcome for games, and we have lots of programs and events to choose from.

While sign-in for contact tracing and health questions will no longer be required when you arrive, our team will continue to ensure a fresh, clean experience for our visitors. Front desk shields, regular disinfecting of common areas and surfaces, hand sanitizer stations and daily cleaning/fogging procedures will remain in place.

Updated Mask Guidance (8/23/21) Read entire public email here. Due to quickly rising numbers of COVID-19 infections, Cook County Department of Health announced a county-wide mask mandate. All visitors are required to wear masks while visiting Glenview Park District facilities or participating in indoor activities or programs.

New Mask Guidance for Youth Recreational Sports (8/12/21) IDPH has released new mask guidance for youth recreational sports. All indoor youth sports participants must wear a mask when attending or participating in youth sports programming, including during practices, games and in the locker room. All spectators, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask when attending indoor youth sports activities. Youth participants and spectators for outdoor sports programs can remove masks when social distancing is implemented.

The park district will not be requiring patrons or participants to be vaccinated, nor will it be tracking vaccination or other personal medical information for patrons. We will be abiding by the honor system and ask for guests’ responsible and respectful cooperation.

We continue to monitor and follow the guidelines associated with COVID 19 on the federal, state and county level, as they relate to our programs and facilities and to keep the community safe. Thank you to our residents for all of your support and cooperation throughout the changes we have navigated as a community throughout the pandemic. With neighbors supporting each other, lots of smiling eyes, and a vaccination rate of 70%, you have shown how a strong community is built through the actions of each individual.

We are so excited about entering Phase 5! We cannot wait to have some fun in the sun with your campers and hope they are as excited as we are to get back to the swing of things this summer.
With that being said, here are the COVID precautions you can expect under current guidance:

• We will continue to plan socially distant activities both indoors and outdoors.
• Campers will be able to remove their masks when participating in outdoor activities, but will need to continue wearing masks for indoor activities unless eating.
• The District will be collecting proof of vaccination for staff and counselors. If fully vaccinated, they may remove their masks during outdoor activities. Staff will continue to wear masks during indoor activities, regardless of vaccination status.
• Health screening questions and temperature checks at drop off will continue, based on ISBE guidelines.
• The small group format that is currently in place will continue throughout the summer.
• Regular disinfecting and cleaning of common areas will continue.
