The Kankakee Valley Park District exists to acquire,
develop and maintain parks, promote the conservation of
natural and historical resources, and provide recreational

Message
from the Director,
Listen on Saturdays @ 10:30 a.m.!!
Keeping Kankakee County
Up-to-Date with Park District news
on WKAN 1320
Tune in Saturdays from 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. to WKAN 1320 to
keep up with The District Dish and the Kankakee Valley Park
District. This half hour show is devoted to keeping guests
informed on all things KVPD. We are not professional radio
people, but we are determined to let you know about upcoming
events, and news on programs and trips. We may stumble along
the way but that is half the fun of this journey that we call life.
Join Sam Jordan and myself Loren Petrakis-Mueller in a relaxed
morning atmosphere that speaks of the fun adventures and all
the stuff that is out there, for you to do.
Who knows, you may even find out there is too much to do
in-and-around the Kankakee area.
Get Your Picture I.D.
at the New RecCenter. . .
Whether you need a Dog Park pass or a Splash Valley Pass you
now get them at the new RecCenter located at 150 N. Indiana
Ave., Kankakee, IL 60901. The number there is 815.929.1885
and they will get you set up. Once Splash Valley opens you
may also get your Splash passes there, just as they have
always done it. If you have your Season Pass from last year,
you can simply renew it at any office, no need for us to print
a new card.
Equal Employment Opportunity
The Kankakee Valley Park District prohibits
discrimination on the basis of age, sex, ethnicity,
religion, and/or individuals with disabilities.
2015 Fall
Is fall our favorite time of year?
Perhaps it is. This is time when mother nature
shows us all the glory in her palette. As we
take in the beauty that our river valley has to
offer take time to think about our community
and all it has to offer. Charity starts at home,
and here at the KVPD we participate in a
variety of charitable events and encourage everyone to join us
in these efforts, large and small. Winter is a great time to help not
only with charity to people, community, animals but to mother
nature. Plant a tree, plant some bulbs for bloom next spring,
give back to the earth as she is what sustains us. You can even
help out at any of our parks, just drop by our administrative
office and ask.
This fall will soon be winter, and we have a lot planned
to make the best of the season with our new Haunted Village and
Halloween Happenings. As expected, we will push forward once
again with the Bird Park Holiday Lights Spectacular in hopes that
this year will be bigger and better than ever.
Roy Collins
Executive Director
Kankakee Valley Park District
Severe Weather Policy
Programs and Splash Valley Aquatic Park may be cancelled due
to severe weather. Decisions about canceling an event will be
made at least one hour before the scheduled start time. If an
activity is interrupted by severe weather, a supervisor will
stay with the participants until the weather has passed, or the
participants have been picked up by a parent/guardian. Each
facility and event has a weather line that can be reached by

attendant instructions.
Instructor Positions/Program Ideas
The Kankakee Valley Park District is expanding our educational
and recreational programs. If you have a particular skill, have
an idea for a new program or are qualified to teach various
recreational or educational classes, please call (815) 929-1885

demands on the body. The core strength and plyometric
strength requirements of the sport are significant.

handle the strength demands of jumping, spinning, and
longer programs. Gym shoes, water bottle and towel are
required for each class.
