Let’s Play

Let’s Play! Youth programming is perfect for ages toddler to teen. Does your child have a favorite sport? Or are they eager to try them all? Whether they’re just starting out or ready to take their skills to the next level, our youth programs offer the perfect blend of active play, skill-building, and fun. The Freeport Park District is proud to offer programs for golf, soccer, pickleball, tennis, t-ball and a multi-sport introductory class.

The excitement doesn’t stop on the field! Off the courts and out of the game, we spark creativity and curiosity with hands-on activities that inspire learning beyond the classroom. Partnering with the Freeport Public Library, join our Tot Time, geared for ages 0-4, and craft, play, story tell, play games and play parachute!

Crafternoon & Exploring

Kids will explore, get messy, and make a nature-based craft that parallels our seasonal learning session! Kids will gain a better understanding about the outdoors, wildlife, and apply what they learn to leave the world a better place! Each session we will have a theme: all about bugs, animal tracks, seeds, and hibernation! Please send your kids in play clothes and tennis shoes. Bring a water bottle!
