The display, called Raven Hills Cemetery, at 224 Presidential Boulevard earned top honors in the Oswegoland Park District’s 2025 Halloween House Decorating Contest

Oswego Senior and Community Center is finishing the remodeling of their new facilities and are hosting a housewarming event April 8 that will also be the first annual Taste of Oswego event. They are also looking for volunteers to help prepare for the event.

“The festival exclusively features Illinois breweries who have earned top reputations as well as emerging Illinois breweries whose kegs are ready to blaze a new trail,” according to the park district.

The park district chose to keep both facilities closed last year because of the pandemic. However, the park district’s splash pad at Prairie Point Park, 4120 Plainfield Road in Oswego, opened late last summer with capacity and safety restrictions in place.

Aquatics & Facilities Supervisor Erik Enslen confirmed April 1 that the park district is working to open the Civic Center Aquatic Park at 5 Ashlawn Avenue in Oswego, and Winrock Park Pool at 21 Winrock Road in Boulder Hill.

The Oswegoland Park District will push its PrairieFest community celebration back this year, from Father’s Day weekend in June to Labor Day weekend in September
