KEG BEER IS ALLOWED IN DUNLEITH PARK BY PERMIT ONLY! A keg beer permit issued by Dunleith Park District is a legal document which allows you to have keg beer within the park in the area of your reservation only, on a specific date and time basis. By signing the permit, you incur a three-part liability: for the safety of you guest, for the enforcement of laws regulating the consumption of alcohol by minors, and for damage or excessive clean-up in or near the area of your pavilion reservation. Dunleith Park District reserves the right to charge a fee to cover the cost of damages or excessive clean-up.
Dunleith Park District was organized in 1970. The park and pool were completed in 1975 as part of a Federal Conservation Grant administered by the State of Illinois Department of Conservation. These facilities are maintained on a continuing basis through local tax dollars. Dunleith Park District offers equal opportunities to all in regard to both recreation and employment. The Dunleith Park District Board of Commissioners will prosecute to the fullest extent possible under Illinois Statutes anyone who willfully causes the destruction of park property by acts of vandalism or other means. NOTE: The Illinois Statutes allow for parental prosecution if acts of vandalism are committed by a minor.
