Tomorrow (THURSDAY) is the Park Ridge Recycling and Shred Event—a chance to tackle that stack of papers you’ve been saving since 2007 and the old computer that’s now eligible for a pension.

Thursday, September 17
9:00 a.m.–noon
Centennial Fitness Center parking lot
1515 W. Touhy Avenue

The event includes paper shredding, electronics recycling, and prescription disposal. Check the flyer for details about accepted items and any restrictions before loading up your car.

Your basement—and possibly your partner —will thank you!

Let’s turn a little fall cleaning into something good for our homes and our community.

Together Park Ridge is on a roll!

That’s our September theme, and we’re collecting everyday household essentials to help neighbors in and around Park Ridge. This month’s wish list includes toilet paper, paper towels, reusable kitchen towels and disinfecting wipes.

I was going to make a toilet paper joke here, but I didn’t want it to unravel.

These are the things many of us reach for without a second thought, but keeping them stocked can be a challenge for a family on a tight budget. If you’re able, please consider picking up an item or two for a neighbor.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared a post or helped spread the word this year. Your ongoing support keeps Together Park Ridge rolling!

You can shop the Together Park Ridge Amazon wish list or drop off donations at City Hall, our porch, Park Ridge Presbyterian Church or Cooney Funeral Home.

The list is below:

I am looking forward to playing the role of the original "Mayor Marty" today as some of Park Ridge’s most interesting residents make an appearance to tell their stories.

Today, the Spirits of Old Park Ridge return to the historic Town of Maine Cemetery! Local actors will bring people from our city’s past to life, from Civil War soldier Milton Meyers to Park Ridge’s first mayor, Albert Buchheit. It’s a fun way for all ages to learn a little local history.

Tours leave every 15–30 minutes from the gatehouse just inside the main entrance off Touhy Avenue. Each guided walk lasts about an hour.

Tickets are available at the entrance today; cash and cards are accepted. Adults $10, students $5, families $20, and children under 5 are free. Parking is available along Rose Avenue or the cemetery lanes.

Come meet the neighbors who helped make Park Ridge what it is today!

A special thank you to our Police and Fire Departments, veterans, first responders, public servants and everyone who attended our ceremony to help make it so meaningful.

As I shared earlier this morning.....here in Park Ridge, we understand that service is not an abstract idea. We see it every day in the men and women of our Police and Fire Departments, who answer the call without knowing exactly what will be waiting for them. We see it in our veterans, our public servants, our schools, our houses of worship, and in neighbors who step forward whenever someone in our community needs help.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Twenty-five years later, Park Ridge remembers.

We honor.

And we will never forget.

The City of Park Ridge will hold a Memorial Service on Friday, September 11, marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The service will begin at 8:30am outside City Hall, 505 Butler Place, near the September 11 Memorial.

Everyone is welcome as we remember the lives lost, honor the courage and sacrifice of first responders, and reflect on the events of September 11, 2001.

Saturday was an inspiring day at Maine South, where I joined the community in support of Cal's Angels and Pediatric Cancer Awareness while watching our defending State Champion Maine South Hawks take the field.

It was an honor to meet Maja, our very special Guest of Honor, and her family. Their strength was a powerful reminder of the difference Cal's Angels makes for children and families facing childhood cancer.

My sincere thanks to the Maine South Color Guard, Flag Football program, and the entire high school for inviting me to take part—and to the students, staff, families, and community members whose hard work made these awareness games so meaningful and successful.

There's still time to support this cause. To donate to Cal's Angels, just scan the QR code in the photo in the comments.

And thank you to everyone who came out, bought a shirt, made a donation, or simply helped spread the word. Every act of support makes a difference for children and families fighting childhood cancer.

It was great to officially welcome HOTWORX Park Ridge to our community with a ribbon cutting this week along with our Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce!

Located in the middle courtyard of the Village Green Shopping Center at 652 N. Northwest Highway, HOTWORX offers a different approach to fitness—combining guided workouts with heat and infrared energy inside an exercise sauna.

Members can choose from 30-minute sessions such as hot yoga and hot Pilates, along with 15-minute high-intensity interval workouts. The studio also offers members 24-hour access, making it easier to fit a workout into even the busiest schedule.

Every new business represents more than a name on a storefront. It represents someone willing to invest their time, resources and confidence in Park Ridge. I’m always grateful to those who choose our community as the place to pursue an idea, build a business and serve their customers.

If you have been looking to change up your routine—or want to try a workout that quite literally brings the heat—stop in and see what HOTWORX is all about.

Welcome to Park Ridge!

Does your local organization need active volunteers who are ready to roll up their sleeves and help?
We are now inviting community organizations and nonprofits to participate in Park Ridge’s Fall Volunteer Fair, presented in partnership with the Park Ridge Public Library.

The purpose of this event is very specific: connecting organizations with people who want to contribute their time, skills and effort.

This is not a fundraising drive or an opportunity to solicit financial donations. Participating organizations should be prepared to share clear, practical ways residents can get involved—whether through ongoing service, one-time projects, special events, student service hours or family volunteer opportunities.

Each participating organization will have table space to:
• Introduce its mission
• Explain its volunteer needs
• Answer questions
• Connect directly with prospective volunteers
• Provide clear next steps for getting involved

Wednesday, September 30
7:00–8:30 p.m.
Park Ridge Public Library
First Floor Meeting Room

If your organization has meaningful work to be done and could use more people willing to help do it, we would love to include you.

Please send me a message for participation information at [email protected]

No parent should have to climb alone.

On Sunday, September 27, our community will come together in Park Ridge for the second annual Climb for NW Chicago, a family-friendly walk benefiting Postpartum Support International.

The Climb raises awareness, reduces stigma and supports individuals and families affected by perinatal mental health challenges. It is also an opportunity to remind new and expecting parents that help, understanding and a supportive community are available.

In addition to the walk, the morning will include Community Villages, a Kiddie Dash, music, snacks, post-walk movement activities and goodie bags.

Sunday, September 27
8:30–11:00 a.m.
Washington Elementary School
1500 Stewart Avenue, Park Ridge

Whether you walk, support a participant or simply help spread the word, you can play a part in letting families know they are never alone.

Walk together. Climb together. Support one another.
