As winter weather approaches, the Hoffman Estates Park District maintenance team is beginning seasonal preventative maintenance to protect outdoor infrastructure before freezing temperatures set in.
Beginning Friday, November 13, residents and park visitors should take note of seasonal service changes and winter amenities across district parks:
- All outdoor water fountains and permanent park restrooms will close and undergo winterization for the season to prevent pipe damage.
- Temporary porta-potties will be placed at Fabbrini Park (1704 Glen Lake Rd.), Black Bear Park (1500 Essex Dr.), and South Ridge Park (1450 Freeman Rd.).
- The porta-potty facility at Freedom Run Dog Park (6150 Russell Dr.) will remain open throughout the entire winter.
To help residents stay active outdoors, HEParks maintenance crews will clear walking paths at Fabbrini Park, Black Bear Park, and South Ridge Park following snowfall events. Snow removal on park paths will commence once all primary district facilities, main parking lots, and designated school sidewalks are fully cleared.
