Description

Join us for the 2nd Annual Unplug Illinois Event, part of a statewide initiative led by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association to encourage individuals and families to unplug from screens and reconnect with recreation, nature, and community.

On Unplug Illinois Day (Saturday, July 11), park and recreation agencies across the state host events that inspire residents to step away from electronic devices and “plug into” play, creativity, and outdoor experiences.

The City of Lake Forest Parks & Recreation Department is proud to bring this initiative to life locally through a full day of community-centered activities.

Kick off the day at Deerpath Community Park with a fun-filled morning of:

Relay races and family competitions

Kickball games for all ages

Two inflatable obstacle courses (75’ and 45’)

Open play and interactive activities

Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Kemper Sports, and Snowie will be on-site serving snow cones.

Lake Forest Open Lands Association will be on site to bring their conservation work to life—showcasing outdoor programs, sharing easy ways to get involved, and connecting you with nature in meaningful ways. Stop by to chat with their environmental educators and explore a hands-on display of fascinating native wildlife artifacts and activities.
