Quincy Park District issued the following announcement on July 31.
Regrettably, we find ourselves having to make these difficult decisions during the COVID pandemic. The health and safety of our youth, coaches, parents, and our staff have been, and will continue to be, paramount throughout these unprecedented times.
• Due to the new restrictions issued by the Illinois Department of Health, Governor Pritzker and Adams County Health Department the Quincy Park District is canceling all fall youth and adult sports for the safety of all involved.
• Due to the volume of refunds, staff expects the refund process to be completed within 60 days. Please, if you have any questions regarding your registration email info@quincyparkdistrict.com or call 217-223-7703.
• Youth, High School and College sports organization currently postponing or canceling fall season are as follows: IESA, IHSA, GLVC and NCAA Division II Sports.
These activities, despite their importance in the development of youth, can never take precedence over the health and safety of those same youth as well as the health and safety of our community and parents/fans who attend these events. The Quincy Park District made a difficult decision but, in the end, staff simply felt that there are too many unknowns to proceed safely at this time.
