All Lit Up for The Winter

When the thermostat drops and the daylight hours are short, it is tempting to want to peek back under the covers and hibernate. However, maintaining a routine of getting outside combined with exercise throughout the winter offers tangible health benefits. The Lake Barrington Countryside Park District’s Park amenities are a place to get your winter fitness and fun in action. Kids and adults can “swing” through the playground apparatus, toss a ball in the open soccer field area or hike around the park grounds(which connect to miles of Lake County Forest Preserve trails). Can’t get there during daylight hours? The Park District lights up the main area of the park with holiday lights November 1st through February 15th.
