Thank you for your support!

We Care about Your SafetyThe Decatur Park District cares about the safety of our visitors and strives to ensure that playground equipment, park grounds, and facilities remain in excellent condition. Please help us in this effort! Follow posted safety rules and note age designations for appropriate use of playground equipment.

InsuranceWhile the Park District is committed to conducting recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, an inherent risk of injury exists with any recreational activity. The Decatur Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained on its property or in its programs, as the cost of such insurance would make program fees cost-prohibitive.

ADA Accessibility SurveyTo ensure that the Park District complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, in Spring 2012, we began a survey process conducted by Recreation Accessibility Consultants. Fifty-six parks and facilities were reviewed, and results have been compiled in a 6-volume document that is available at the Administrative Office, 620 E. Riverside Ave. For more information, contact Mandy Childress at 422-5911.

Park Watch ProgramIn response to an ongoing problem with vandalism, the Decatur Park District developed the Park Watch program to help prevent crimes in our parks, properties and facilities. Park Watch offers rewards for information leading to the arrest of individuals responsible for these crimes. Please be on the look-out. Park District property belongs to all in our community and is supported by tax dollars. If you witness suspicious activity or have a tip, call Park Watch at 422-5911. You may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000. All tips and information are helpful, and you may remain anonymous.

Starting in September, mums, Gerber daisies, rudbeckia, and ptilotus will make their appearance during the Schaub Floral Display Center’s Fall Show. Rustic pines and colorful poinsettias will fill the center during the holidays. Seasonal displays are one of many attractions at the Floral Display Center and Greenhouse, made possible through grants and gifts from the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers and Robert D. Schaub. Thanks to another generous gift from the Schaub family on July 17, the Park District will soon begin construction on the Norma Schaub Memorial Garden just north of the Floral Display building. The goal is to make the center a destination, both inside and out, with shade trees, native grasses, annual and perennial flowers, benches, and a water feature. It is Alesia and Howard Schaub’s dream that the Norma Schaub Memorial Garden will become a destination place for all in the community to take pictures for special events and hold small weddings. Stay tuned for a ribbon cutting in 2014!
