Happy Independence Day!

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the annual fireworks show will not take place. The Village wishes all residents and businesses a Happy Independence Day. Village offices will be closed in observation of the holiday on Friday, July 3^rd.

Phase 4 Reminders

The State of Illinois moved into Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan on June 26^th. As a reminder, Phase 4 allows for several industries to expand their operations, within guidelines. To learn more about Phase 4 click here. Please remember to wear masks in public places when social distancing is not possible and indoors when patronizing businesses.

Playgrounds are OPEN. Please remember that they are not sanitized. When using the playgrounds please sanitize hands before and after use and socially distance.

Preschool Registration Open

What are your preschool plans for the fall? Register now for Kinder Korner Preschool! Kinder Korner preschool has been a Libertyville Recreation "tradition" for families for over 30 years. Programs are offered for 2-3 year olds, 3-4 year olds and Pre-K for 4-5 year olds. To learn more about the program and to register click here.

Libertyville Sports Complex Update

After careful consideration, the Libertyville Sports Complex and fitness center will remain closed during Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan. As an open warehouse-style, mixed-use indoor recreation facility that offers sports floor space primarily to outside groups, enforcing crowd separation, sanitizing requirements, mask usage, and social distancing will be difficult. The Village of Libertyville’s primary concern is the health and safety of its residents. All prorated membership refunds for the fitness center have been issued.

The Village will continue to monitor the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the reopening of the Libertyville Sports Complex and fitness center. The Sports Complex has not been shut down permanently and the Village looks forward to the day when it can safely resume providing indoor recreational and fitness offerings to its residents. In the interim, the Village endeavors to offer enhanced outdoor rentals and recreational activities—stay tuned to social media and the Village’s website in the coming weeks for more information
