AFTERNOON ANTICS IS CANCELLED FRIDAY 6/13

Dear La Grange Park Residents,

 

The Community Park District board and staff are actively working to determine the feasibility of continuing operations of the fitness center at 1100 E 31st Street.

 

The Greater La Grange YMCA announced that it is scheduled to cease all operations at this location on July 18, 2025. It has been determined that the ability for the Community Park District to successfully maintain this amenity for the community revolves largely around the time it would take to transfer operations. We are currently working to schedule meetings with the Village of La Grange Park to determine inspection requirements and potential occupancy permit timelines.

 

It is the position of the Community Park District Board of Commissioners that the district should only pursue acquisition if the operation can be self-sustaining, and would not rely on tax dollars for operations or long-term capital improvements.

 

We are deeply committed to working with the Village of La Grange Park, the YMCA, residents of La Grange Park, and existing members to evaluate any and all impacting factors. We hope to have more information in the coming week.

 

We appreciate the patience and engagement of our residents and members as we continue to work through the details and potential impacts of this important issue.

 

If we can provide additional information, please do not hesitate to contact jcannaday@communityparkdistrict.org.
