Some Champaign Park District programs are resuming

Starting January 22nd, Leonhard Rec Center is reopening. The walking track, weight room, and pickleball in the gym will be open. Reservations are not required, but masks are:

Walking Track:
NO Reservations or time limits.
Up to 50 people on the walking track at a time.
Masks and social distancing required at all time.

Weight Room:
NO Reservations or time limits.
Machines will be moved from the group fitness room back to the weight room after business hours on 1/22/2021. We will maintain two weight room/fitness areas with the upstairs weight room and the down stairs weight room (indoor playground area). All machines will be 6 ft apart to allow for proper social distancing and maintaining reduced capacities in Phase 4. Up to 15 people may be in the upstairs weight room at a time and 6 in the downstairs weight room (1 per machine/station). If stations/machines are full we ask that you please utilize the other weight room area or walking track. Masks and social distancing required at all time.

Lockers will be available for use starting 1/21/2021. Please remember to bring your own locks.

Pickleball is allowed in Phase 4. We are finalizing our gym schedule and will send out an updated pickleball schedule and details no later than February 1!
