Park Closures

Observatory Park will be closed Nov. 17, 18, 26 and 27, Dec. 1 and Jan. 5 and 6 due to controlled hunting.

Rangers and/or signs will be posted at the park entrance these days as a reminder.

Controlled hunting has been used since the 2007-08 season to maintain healthy, balanced populations of plants and animals on park district properties. Time has proven it a viable management tool and a proactive approach to the park district’s mission.

Visit the park district website or call for more information on holiday and snow-related park closures.
