Cary Park District Participating in Statewide "Flying 4 Kids" Month Kite Fly

Keep your eyes to the skies on Saturday, April 13 as The Cary Park District is hosting a fun, family-oriented kite fly as part of the Illinois Association of Park Districts’ (IAPD) statewide “Flying 4 Kids” month celebration. 

The goal of “Flying for Kids” is to raise awareness of the Park District Youth License Plate, which features a colorful kite. Twenty-five dollars from the sale and subsequent renewals of each plate is placed into the IAPD Power Play Grant Program, a special grant fund to benefit beyond-school programming for youth at park districts and recreation agencies throughout Illinois. 

Visitors should bring their own kites and are encouraged to participate in a kite fly competition or fly kites on their own.

The kite fly will be held at Lions Park on Saturday, April 13 from 10:00 – 11:00 am. This event is free. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
