2014 Fall
As we head into fall after a
fantastic summer here at the
KVPD, I want to thank the
entire community for the
support we receive. From people
that purchase a boat slip to the
softball players out at the
Centrue Bank Sports Complex
and let’s not forget the folks that
take our trips and of course our sponsors. So much has been
accomplished because of you!!! For that I am grateful.
As the many trees change their attire for the event that is our
spectacular fall along the Kankakee River, take time to admire the
beauty that this region has to offer.
The Ice Valley Centre Ice Arena is opening and yet another
season on the ice will commence. The Ice Valley Centre Ice
Arena is in its ninth year here in Kankakee, and hosts the junior
leagues called the Coyotes and the Irish. There are figure skating
classes as well as Club SK8 on Fridays.
We also have our new RecCenter at 150 N. Indiana Ave., in
downtown Kankakee. If you have not stopped by, feel free.
One of our staff can show you around and give a brochure that
explains open gym times and all that this facility has to offer.
If you would like to receive this brochure Free three times a
year, please call our main office at 815-939-1311 and leave
your name and address OR go to our website and click on the

participating in an off-ice program are far reaching. Figure
skating is a sport that puts significant strength and flexibility
demands on the body. The core strength and plyometric
strength requirements of the sport are significant. By completing an off-ice training program, skaters will progress their on-ice

of jumping, spinning, and longer programs. Gym shoes, water

Cemetery Walk
This event brings the fascinating history of
Kankakee County to life. Participants who visit Mound
Grove Cemetery will get a guided history lesson as they
are led to gravesites of former residents, portrayed by actors
in period costumes, who share something of their lives
and times. Visitors will leave with a better understanding
of Kankakee County’s rich heritage through the lives of its
residents. This event is made possible through the partnership of the Kankakee Valley Park District, the Kankakee
County Museum, the Kankakee Valley Theatre Association,
and Mound Grove Cemetery. Please wear walking shoes
and be prepared for extensive walking through uneven terrain. A DVD from last year’s walk is available for purchase
