Movies Around Town – New Schedule!

Pack your snacks and blankets into the wagon, this summer we are bringing the big screen to select neighborhood parks to enjoy a concert and a movie all in one. Trolls World Tour will be showing the following parks this summer. Come ready to dance! We hope to see you there!

We’ve had to change the locations as the movie screen is much larger than anticipated and won’t work well in our smaller parks. 

StoryWalk – NEW!
June 14-July 31
Arroyo Trails

Being active is as important to our health as reading is for our minds. And doing both can be fun for the whole family! Take a Story Book Walk on the path of Arroyo Trails in Channahon. Stroll, skip, wiggle and giggle as you explore the pages of a beloved picture book! The Story Book Walk is presented by Three Rivers Public Library District and the Channahon Park District.
