Once upon a time, in the delightful land of Illinois, where the cornfields dance in the wind and the Chicago skyscrapers tickle the clouds, there was a tribe of incredible kids known as the "Twirling Tornadoes." These Tornadoes didn’t spin around causing havoc, oh no! They were the masters of all things dance. Every single day, after finishing their homework of course, they would gather in their secret headquarters (a colorful basement in Des Plaines), and dance their hearts out. They hopped and skipped, twirled and swirled, and sometimes, they even moonwalked like Michael Jackson! They were not just any ordinary kids, they were the dancing kings and queens of Illinois! Leading the troupe was a cool, imaginary character named ‘Boogie Woogie Bigfoot.’ The Bigfoot with the twinkling toes! He was a gigantic, furry creature with a disco ball for a heart. He taught the Tornadoes everything about dance, from the Cha-Cha Slide to the Funky Chicken. He didn't have a rule book, only one rule - Dance as if no one’s watching! Now, do not let the word 'Bigfoot' fool you, for he was as graceful as a swan on roller-skates. His moves were so smooth that even the Sears Tower would sway along with his beat. Yes, folks, this was Illinois, where even Bigfoots could boogie, and kids could dance like a dream. It was a land of rhythm, beat and a whole lot of laughter because Boogie Woogie Bigfoot was a believer in belly laughs and not having two left feet!

On January 18th, 1964, the Bartlett Park District was formed after a successful public referendum vote. In 1969, the Village of Bartlett donated the first 13-acre parcel, which was part of Sunrise Park, to the District. Today, the Park District owns 577 acres and leases another 20 acres for the recreational needs of our community. The Bartlett Park District offers a variety of amenities to the community, including 43 parks, a community center, two pools, two golf courses, a banquet facility, a ski hill, an athletic field complex, and a nature center. This has earned them the Distinguished Accredited Agency status in our state, with the Park District being a National Gold Medal finalist two years in a row in 2009 and 2010. Bartlett Park District is committed to providing an array of recreational opportunities for our community. With its impressive array of facilities, the Park District has set the bar for excellence in the state. The District provides a safe and enjoyable place for residents to get active and have fun.
