Happy Birthday to us!!! Take the Carbondale Park District 8-for-80 Challenge!!! Let’s celebrate!!! Show your Carbondale spirit!!!

We are turning 80 this year! This means Carbondale Park District has served the Carbondale community for 8 decades! To celebrate our birthday and our 8 decades of achievements, we challenge you to take the Carbondale Park District 8-for-80 Challenge! Participants engage in at least 8 minutes of recreation or leisure for 80 days. That’s right! 8 minutes of peace and solitude, or 8 minutes of pushups, you choose the activity. Then practice it 8 minutes a day for 80 days. Challenge starts Tuesday, September 8 and ends Wednesday, November 25 (the day before Thanksgiving). The following day, treat yourself to some turkey to celebrate with us!
