No matter the time of year, the Chicago Ridge Park District has a special event you are sure to enjoy! In the spring, join us for our Easter Egg Hunt and Mother/Son Bowl event. Summer means outdoor sports, so what’s more fun than a Co-Ed Adult Softball Tournament? Halloween At The Park is a blast, as well as our Turkey Shoot in the fall. And winter means so many fun holiday events, including our biggest-Daddy Daughter Date Night. We hope to see you there!
