Spook-tacular Halloween Fun!

Saturday, October 26, Geneva Park District is celebrating Halloween with three events to unite our community members and create lasting holiday memories. Certain to bewitch the entire family, our annual Halloween Hayday, Peck Farm Park’s Howl ‘o Ween Dog Parade, and the new thrilling Zombie Apocalypse, offer plenty of opportunities to celebrate the season at Geneva parks.

Annual Halloween Hayday
The celebration begins with Halloween Hayday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Stephen D. Persinger Recreation Center, 3507 Kaneville Road. The family-fun festivities include a children’s carnival, cosmic cake walk, hay rides, bounce houses, and more! Children should come dressed to impress for a costume contest. Pre-registration for children under 10 years of age is $5 each ($8 for non-residents). Admission at the door is $7 per child ($10 for non-residents). Admission is free for adults.

FREE! Howl 'o Ween Pet Parade
Following the Hayday, Peck Farm Park will hold its annual Howl ‘o Ween Dog Parade from 4 to 5 p.m.  Families and their canine friends are encouraged to come in costume. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed. Line up begins at 3:45 p.m., with the parade starting promptly at 4 p.m. Pre-registration is recommended for this free event. Peck Farm Park is located at 4038 Kaneville Rd. in Geneva.

NEW! Thrilling Zombie Apocalypse
After dark, Wheeler Park transforms into a terrifying playground for the undead at the all new Zombie Apocalypse from 7:30 to 10 p.m. According to reports, Wheeler has been hit with a terribly destructive virus. Your main objective? Survival. Dodge zombies through a disorienting obstacle course complete with safe zones, complications, emergency supplies and special effects. Use quick decision-making skills, speed, and bravery to escape all the zombies and reach the vaccination point. But make one mistake and you could be zombie dinner.

Survivors will receive a delicious zombie vaccine. Hot chocolate and concessions will be available for sale. Plus, don’t miss 103.9 The Fox as they make Wheeler Park a “Tomb Stop,” complete with music, give-a-ways and more.

Because our zombies aren’t interested in measly snacks, we recommend this event for those ages 10 and older. Zombies find teenagers to be particularly fresh and appetizing, but appreciate mature adult meat as well. Cost is $8 per person. Pre-registration is not required. Wheeler Park is located at 101 North St. in Geneva.
