2025 Huntley Park District 6th-8th Grade Dance

We are utilizing the same plan for drop-off and pick-up as we have with previous dances. Please view the map below and/or click to see a large version of the new route. Please be aware that there WILL be long lines of traffic during drop-off and pick-up. Huntley Park District staff works hard to get everyone checked in and picked up as quickly as possible, but SAFETY is our #1 priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding! Only those who are registered will be allowed into the event. If you are dropping off participants, only those who are on our final roster as of 6:00p this evening will be allowed into the dance. Those who are not on the roster, will be asked to leave. No on-site registration will be taken. No exceptions will be made. Here's what you need to know: Drop-Off The music and dancing will not start until 7:00p, however we will allow participants to be dropped off as early as 6:30p. There will be 2 designated Drop-off Zones. Where you drop off is determined based on the driver's last name. Driver with a last name beginning with the letters A - K will drop off at the REC Center main entrance (green zone/route). Driver with a last name beginning with the letters L - Z will drop off at the Stingray Bay Parking Lot, west of the REC Center (blue zone/route). A staff member wearing a safety vest will check in your participant at your vehicle. Please stay in your vehicle until a member of the dance staff has given you directions when dropping off. When participant's are dropped off, we will put a wristband on them which matches the colored zone they were dropped off in (green or blue). This wristband will help determine their pick up location. Pick-Up Participants will receive a colored wristband associated with their drop off zone. Participants will be sent to the same zone for pick up that they were dropped off in - green or blue. Example: Johnny Appleseed was dropped off in the green zone (driver last names A-K) and was given a green wristband. At the end of the dance, Johnny will be sent to the green zone to be picked up. Children are not released until 9:00p. Any emergency pickups that need to be done prior will require a parent to park and speak to staff. It is important for you as the driver to remember to pick up in the correct colored zone. If you are unsure of the wristband color your participant was given, we recommend texting them to confirm prior to pick up. For safety purposes, we will only release participants to vehicles that are within the Pick-Up Zones. Please do not ask your child to run through the parking lot to meet you. Once your vehicle is in line, it will stay in line until you reach the Pick-Up Zone. These zones are depicted on the map. Walkers Those walking to the REC Center from the Lion's Chase subdivision will notice a yellow line on the map, showing the route that we have them designated for them to take in order to get into the dance. We will ask all walkers to visit with a HPD staff member at the entrance of the South Parking Lot, where they will check-in and receive a red wristband. Their wristband will indicate to staff that they walked to the dance and will therefore be able to walk back home. ONLY those with the red wristband will be allowed to walk home, unless a parent speaks directly with and gives permission to HPD staff. General Drop-Off/Pick-Up Notes Please pull your vehicle forward all the way into the zone in order for staff to keep the line moving as quickly as possible. We ask for your patience when dropping off and picking up. We anticipate nearly 400 participants attending this event and want everyone to be safe. Please do not cut in line or pull ahead of any other vehicles. Dropping off and picking up participants may only occur in the designated drop off zones (marked on map). For everyone's safety, we will not allow participants to get in or out of vehicles further back in line, that are not within the designated drop off and pick up zones.
