Winnetka Park District Board Meetings
Park Board meetings are held twice monthly on Thursdays. These public meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Winnetka Park District Administrative Office, 540 Hibbard Road. For the meeting schedule, please call 847.501.2040 or visit our website, www.winpark.org.

Lightning Prediction System in Parks
A Thorguard Lightning Prediction System has been installed to provide a safe environment for patrons and neighbors. The system is designed to predict the likelihood of lightning before it occurs. The system operates April through November, from 6 a.m.-10 p.m., at Skokie Playfields, Tower Road Beach and Nick Corwin Park.

When conditions indicate a probable lightning occurrence, a horn sounds for 15 seconds and a strobe light turns on. It is recommended that you clear the area and seek shelter, keeping away from metal objects, until the all-clear signal is given. The all-clear signal is three short horn blasts as the strobe turns off. For more information, call 847.501.2040.

Community Room Rental
The community room may be rented for meetings. The room can hold approximately 40 people. The rental fee is $25/hr for residents and $50/hr for non-residents. For more information, call 847.501.2040.
