Judging the weather is always difficult and the Park District must make decisions that ensure players’ and spectators’ safety. Safety is our primary concern when inclement weather involving rain, thunder and lightning is present. Outlined below is a brief explanation of the procedures we utilize for inclement weather.
Lightning / Thunder
Any sight of lightning and/or sound of thunder in the area of the ballfields results in immediate suspension of a game or practice. Players and spectators are requested to take cover in cars or park shelters. After a 30-minute waiting period, umpires make the decision to cancel or resume play.
Decisions on weekend games are made by 8:00 a.m. If conditions should change after those times, a final decision is made by Park District staff at the field. NOTE: If rain should occur at game time, the umpire gives a verbal decision at the field on whether or not the game is played.
The Athletics Weather Hotline is 847.579.4015 and is updated after 4 p.m. during the weekday and 8 a.m. on the weekend. If you have questions about a program/facility please contact that facility directly.
