Movie in the Park: Wonka

Grab your coziest blankets or chairs, a picnic basket full of your favorite snacks and join us for a movie night under the stars at Jackman Park. Wonka (2023) is about young chocolatier, Willy Wonka, who is armed with nothing but a hatful of dreams. He manages to change the world, one delectable bite at a time!

This free movie is presented by the Glenview Public Library and the Glenview Park District. In case of rain, the movie will become a ticketed event inside the Glenview Library’s Community Room. All ages are welcome!

Moths Matter presentation

In the tradition of the original Grove Literary Society established by Robert Kennicott and his father Dr. John, The Grove Heritage Association hosts a new book club that focuses on books about the natural history to better understand where and how we live. Starting in March the group will discuss  One Day at Teton Marsh by Sally Carrighar. Please email Meredith Saungka at meredith.saungka@glenviewparks.org for more information.

Join us as we gather with the trees that are shedding their leaves. Use breathing exercises to explore our cycle of breath with the plant life around us. We will explore the forest using our observation skills to notice how the wind impacts the sounds, textures, and scent of the forest.
