Protecting our natural lands for the benefit of present and future residents
“Leave only your footprints”
Our mission is to enhance and preserve the quality of life and environment, and to acquire and protect our natural lands for the benefit of present and future residents.
Join us Saturday, October 3rd at Reed Turner Woodland for some SPOOKTACULAR fun!
We are transforming the beauty for boos, the gorgeous for the ghostly, and the magic for the mystery! This fun-filled night for the family will have something for everyone. Join us in the main room for special Halloween themed games and crafts. Do you dare take to the haunted hills of Reed-Turner where you’ll be led through the trails on a search for witches, ghouls and other spooky things. Costumes are highly encouraged—bring your spooky spirit and dress to impress for a night of Halloween fun! Come join the fun and the frights at this beloved family-friendly event!
Tickets are just $5 per person and must be purchased in advance. Children under 1 year old are free. To keep the experience special for each group—and due to limited parking—only 25 families per time slot will be admitted. Guests must select a session: 4:00 PM, 5:30 PM, or 7:00 PM. Each ticket includes 90 minutes of spine-tingling fun. Last year’s event sold out quickly, so don’t wait!
Reed-Turner Woodland is located at 3849 Old McHenry Road in Long Grove.
Want to support the magic behind the mayhem? The Long Grove Park District is seeking sponsors and volunteers to help bring this event to life. Please email recreation@lgparks.org to get involved.

We’ll see you in the woods… if you dare!

“Gorgeous trails, lots of trees and shade. So much to see between bridges, the creek and different paths to take. Very peaceful, can’t wait to return.”
