The North Berwyn Park District Community Center, located at 1619 Wesley Ave., is serving as a designated warming center for residents during extreme cold weather events. This facility is open to the public, providing a safe and warm environment for individuals seeking shelter from the harsh winter conditions.
Warming Center Hours:9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
In addition to the warming center, the National Weather Service offers several important safety tips for residents during winter weather:
Prepare Your Home Emergency Kit: Ensure it is stocked with essential items such as blankets, non-perishable food, water, first aid supplies, flashlights, and batteries. Be sure your kit is ready for potential winter storms.
Improve Traction on Walkways: Use sand or other materials to enhance traction on icy surfaces, and apply ice-melting products to reduce hazards on sidewalks and driveways.
Ensure Adequate Heating Fuel: Make sure you have enough heating fuel to last through prolonged periods of extreme cold, as regular fuel sources may be interrupted.
Emergency Heating: Keep an alternative source of heating or fuel available, so that you can maintain at least one room in your home at a livable temperature.
Fire Safety: Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure everyone in your household knows how to use them properly.
Winterize Your Home: To maximize heating efficiency, insulate walls, attics, doors, and windows. Consider installing storm windows or covering windows with plastic to prevent heat loss.
Avoid Overexertion: In extreme cold, be mindful not to overexert yourself or spend too much time outdoors, especially in icy or snowy conditions.
Additionally, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) offers further guidance on winter preparedness in its Winter Weather Preparedness Guide. It’s always important to stay informed and take necessary precautions to stay safe during winter storms.
Stay warm, stay safe, and don’t hesitate to visit the North Berwyn Park District Community Center if you need shelter from the cold.

Like many organizations, NBPD has been and continues to face challenges hiring enough people to fill seasonal staff positions.
The district’s goal is to fill all open positions and have consistent operating hours at recreation facilities, and all services available, and park amenities fully maintained.
Filling vacant positions is difficult during a nationwide labor market shortage. Here and across the country, parks and recreation departments are struggling to hire due to a decline in youth interest, or youth choosing not to work over the summer break.
The Park District is focusing on recruiting enough people to host as much fun as we can, as safely as we can. One thing that we will never cut corners on is the safety of our community. From Spray Pool Monitors to Summer Camp Counselors, our staff will always work hard to keep community members safe as they enjoy our facilities and programs.
NBPD will keep the community informed over the next several months as we work to hire staff and, thus, make decisions about parks and recreation operations based on staffing levels.
