Park
Security Reminders
Visitors are reminded that all park grounds close at
10:30pm 7 days a week with city curfew and truancy laws enforced by local
police. Vehicles are not to be left
parked on park grounds after the park is closed. Unless arrangements are made in advance,
vehicles left on park property will be towed at the owner’s expense. Visitors are encouraged to contact the
park office or local police if any damage or vandalism to park property is
observed. Drivers are reminded that
the speed limit in all parking lots is 10mph. As warmer weather approaches, please be
vigilant of children and other pedestrians when driving through the park. Only authorized vehicles are permitted
on the walk path and in all areas which are posted as restricted to motor
vehicles. ATV’s and dirt bikes are
not allowed on park grounds at any time unless authorized. The park district incorporates the City
of Braidwood curb and leash laws for all dogs. Dog walkers are reminded to have their
dogs on leashes and to pick up any waste left behind while walking through
the park.
Skate Park
Information 
The
skate park officially opened during March.
Users are reminded that the skate park closes at sunset seven days a
week. No bicycles, scooters,
homemade ramps or dogs are allowed inside the fenced in area around the skate
park. Please read all rules and
guidelines of the skate park before entering. The skate park is unsupervised and is a
“skate at own risk” sport.
Pavilion Rentals 
The park currently has two large pavilions,
which may be rented for birthdays, graduations, BBQ’s and other parties or
events. Anyone who is interested in
renting a pavilion must contact the park office to make a reservation. On site restrooms will be provided as
part of all scheduled pavilion rentals.
Users may request that the skate park be closed if needed. One pavilion includes a kitchen equipped
with serving window, sinks, refrigerators/freezers and food preparation
area. Please specify which pavilion
you are interested in when making reservations.
Community Service
Info. 
Anyone who is seeking to perform community
service hours with the Braidwood Park District must contact the park office to
make arrangements. Community
service workers perform a number of general clean up tasks such as trash
pick-up, sweeping, raking and others.
Persons who require a letter of confirmation for court ordered service
must advise the park officials when setting up time to perform the
services. Community service workers
are required to arrive at the time specified. Non-excused absences will result in
termination of community service privileges with the Braidwood Park
District as well as notification of court
officials.
With
the spring season comes warmer weather.
We hope that everyone enjoys the time they spend at the park and takes
advantage of what the outdoors has to offer. We would like to thank everyone who came
out and supported the children’s Easter egg hunt on April 4th. A total of 230 treat bags were given out
to the children in attendance. Park
volunteers are already planning on an even bigger and fun filled event for next
years Easter egg hunt. The
commissioners would like to remind residents and park users to help keep the
park clean. Please put your trash
in the cans which are placed around the park. Have a safe and fun filled
spring.
Sincerely,
Braidwood Park District
