March 15, 2024 Attention Ackerman SFC Members! Thanks to the 2022 voter-approved referendum, we’re upgrading your workout experience! To install new HVAC units for the recently renovated first and second-floor fitness studios, we’ll be opening Ackerman SFC a bit later than usual on Friday, March 22nd. Due to a helicopter lift for this project, facility access will be delayed until around 1 pm for everyone’s safety. We apologize for any inconvenience and will keep you updated on the Glen Ellyn Park District hotline (gepark.org/hotline) if there are any changes, or an earlier opening becomes possible. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
