Dear Residents,

The Village of Orland Park is proud to present the 2026 Winter/ Spring Program Guide. Within these pages, you will find a wide variety of recreational, cultural, fitness, and educational opportunities designed to bring our community together throughout the season. The holiday season is always a special time in Orland Park. Our annual Christmas Parade, Tree Lighting and Festival will once again fill the Village Center with excitement and tradition. This edition of the Village of Orland Park Recreation Program Guide includes highlights of the Winter Wonderland Ice Rink and sledding hills to make the most of the snow covered winter days ahead. As we enter the New Year, this publication offers a look at the many ways residents can stay active, get involved, and explore new interests. Whether it is through fitness opportunities, youth and adult sports, theatre and cultural programs, or camps and special events, there is something here for everyone. I am especially pleased to see the return of some community favorites and the addition of new opportunities that reflect the energy and spirit of Orland Park. From theatre performances and youth programs to health and wellness initiatives and new park projects, these efforts continue to make Orland Park a wonderful place to live, work, and play. More details about these programs can be found throughout this guide. As mayor, I am grateful every day to serve such a vibrant and engaged community. It’s rewarding to see the people of Orland Park come together to celebrate, learn, and enjoy all that our community offers. I look forward to seeing you at these events and programs in the months ahead.
