Rutherford Sayre Park Hosts Winter Family Craft Workshops in Galewood This December
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Galewood ·
Galewood families looking for creative holiday activities have two special opportunities this month at Rutherford Sayre Park. The Chicago Park District has announced family craft workshops on December 13 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. and December 20 from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the park located at 6871 W. Belden Avenue.
The workshops are designed for families to enjoy the creative process together, with each session focusing on seasonal arts and crafts and outdoor decorations. Materials will be provided by the park, making this an accessible activity for all neighborhood residents. These special December events complement the park's regular programming, which includes a variety of recreational activities in its 13.94-acre space featuring a fitness center, gymnasium, sports fields, and a natural area with walking trails.
These workshops arrive just as many Galewood residents are preparing for another neighborhood tradition—the annual Winter Solstice celebration where neighbors meet at the Rutherford Sayre Park trail just before sunset on winter solstice and walk to a grand spruce tree, which they decorate with biodegradable ornaments for wildlife to enjoy throughout the winter season. Residents interested in participating in either the craft workshops or learning more about winter activities at Rutherford Sayre Park can find registration information on the Chicago Park District website.
