Anything can HAPPEN,
but it has to start with a Day One.
Everyone has a “Day One.” It could be for starting a new diet or workout routine, it could be the first day at a new job, anything. It is exciting because it’s a fresh start and a beginning to a new journey with the end result being unknown. Bolingbrook Park District offers numerous opportunities for toddlers, youth and adults to learn a new sport.
Our new youth sports program at Bolingbrook Park District is taking that exact approach.
