The Fourth of July is a time for family and friends to gather together to celebrate our independence and have some fun. We break out the barbecue and grill food, swim, relax and enjoy the wonderful firework shows offered in our area.

We would also like to thank our families who are serving in the military. The Rockford Park District's Magic Waters Waterpark is offering active duty military families a special deal. Bring your military card and receive one free admission.

Check out our upcoming events on the right to see what's happening at the Park District for you to enjoy. Whatever festivities you plan to celebrate this holiday, have fun and stay safe!
