The Champaign Park District continues to closely monitor the events surrounding the COVID-19 Virus and believes it is important to keep our program participants informed about what is happening and what the District is doing to help our community through this pandemic.
As of March 14th, the Park District will be canceling all programs, events and rentals until April 13th. Unfortunately, this does mean ALL currently active Winter sports are now cancelled and upcoming Spring sports have been delayed until after April 13th. The district is working diligently to issue a prorated refund check to all teams with cancelled leagues for the remainder of the season.
Our current policy also includes cancellations for all indoor and outdoor events, programming, and rentals through April 12th. This decision was made by the recommendation of the C-U Public Health District and in conjunction with the Urbana Park District.
An emergency Board meeting will be held on March 14th to discuss our response to this Pandemic and what other measures, if any, will need to be implemented. If there are more changes, we will send additional communication.
Thank you all for your participation in our sports programs this season. I personally want everyone to know the District is doing everything we can to ensure all our participants stay safe. We want you to know we value your participation in our Park District sports programs. We hope we can get through these uncertain times together and get back to what we do best, which is enhancing our community’s quality of life through positive experiences in parks, recreation, and cultural arts.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. I will be in touch next week with updates on the prorated refunds and decisions on upcoming sports seasons.
Thank you for your understanding & support!
Justice Miller
