Lincoln Park District

Lincoln Park District is the place to be on the Fourth

The Fourth of July promises to be a great day of fun at your Lincoln Park District.  We begin the day with a fireman’s water fight; registration is at 8 a.m., and the event begins at 9 a.m.  We expect several teams from the neighboring community.  We encourage you to come on out and cheer them on. 

Lincoln Baseball Association will host the all-star baseball games beginning at 11 a.m.  Teams made up of coaches and parents will play a game after the Bronco League.  It will be interesting (not to mention entertaining) to see if body and spirit team up in these advanced players. 

The swimming pool will open for the young people at 1 p.m., with Splashapalooza scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.  Relay races, inner tube races, diving for pennies and much more is planned.  Admission is only $1, and the pool will close at 5 p.m.

Games for children and adults will start at 6 p.m. Children’s games will include races, relays and contests with prizes being awarded.  Games for adults will be hosted on the driving range.  Prizes for the longest drive, putting, chipping and "bean the cart" will be given.  To play "bean the cart," we place a bull’s-eye on the golf cart, drive the cart about 100 yards, and you get five balls to try to hit the cart as it drives back and forth on the driving range.

Concession stands will be available. There will be music by DJ John Plut, and, of course, it would not be the Fourth of July without the fireworks, which will begin at dusk.  Our many thanks to the Lincoln Fireworks Committee for their hard work.

Once again Immanuel Lutheran Church will host a bake sale, along with soft drinks. They invite you to use their lawn for watching the fireworks and offer their restroom facilities as well.
