Good afternoon,

To combat a surge in COVID-19 infections, Governor J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced new statewide COVID-19 resurgence mitigations effective 12:01 a.m. on Friday, November 20.
Evanston community centers will remain open; however, all indoor athletic programs, including ice activities, and facility rentals will pause in accordance with Tier 3 Resurgence Mitigations. Camp and non-athletic programs will continue while following all public health guidelines. Outdoor group activities will be limited to 10 persons or fewer. More information.
