Champaign Park District’s Leonhard Rec Center is reopening

The Leonhard Recreation Center will reopen August 24th. The building will have reduced hours, and members can sign up for an hour-long use of the weight room and walking track. Everyone must be masked at all times.

Per an email sent last Friday:

Because of COVID-19, Leonhard will have hour-long blocks of time that you can reserve in our online scheduling software to come in and use the walking track or the weight room. Registration through your online Champaign Park District account will be available a week before the date you are reserving.

Example: You can register for August 24th starting August 18th, but cannot register for August 28th until August 22nd.

The machines in the weight room have all been placed at least 6 feet apart to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

At this time, Open Gym and the Indoor Playground will not be available for use.
