Calling all 14th ward residents and AC Thompson School Alumni to join us on Friday, October 30, 2026 for the 14th Ward Blocktoberfest. Enjoy FREE food from 14th Ward restaurants, music, kids’ activities, bounce house, face painting, and the unveiling of a permanent tribute to AC Thompson School! Since the former school site transitioned to the Rockford Park District to meet the area's need for a park, we've been working with AC Thompson School Alumni on a special tribute.

📍 Thompson Park, 4949 Marion Ave., Rockford
🎤 Speaker Ceremony at 5:15 p.m.
14th Ward Blocktoberfest is a Forward the Fun initiative supported by funding from the @CityofRockford.
Last call to sign up for Jr. Leagues! 🏀 This year’s new program features brand-new NBA & WNBA jerseys, dedicated boys and girls divisions for grades 2–5, and a coed division for kindergarten and 1st grade!
As part of our Equine Assisted Learning program, students from both @RPS205 and Galapagos Charter School visited Lockwood Park earlier this week, with a special guest appearance by Steve Shannon, our new Community Engagement Specialist for @rpdfun!
As the students participated in our pony trail walks, they first learned about mindfulness and leadership to bond with the ponies as they guided them along the trail. This allows our students a unique opportunity to utilize their social and emotional skills through co-regulation with the ponies!
🍂 Leaves aren’t the only thing falling, golf rates are too! Enjoy discounted greens fees at all four Rockford Park District golf courses for the remainder of the 2026 season, plus end-of-season discounts on merchandise in the pro shops

About 70 Maria Montessori students helped the Rockford Park District plant native species at Marsh Park! The project is transforming a stormwater drainage area into a natural space and outdoor classroom through a partnership with RPS 205, Place Foundry and the Park District.
