Johnsburg offers open space and parks for all to enjoy. From walking paths to ball fields, playground equipment and picnic pavilions, Johnsburg offers a wealth of recreational activities. Two of our larger parks have soccer, basketball and baseball facilities as well as playground equipment and picnic pavilions. These facilities can be reserved for family gatherings or special events. The Village also has developed a walking and bike path system to encourage pedestrian and bicycle movement between developments, linking them to schools and parks. The village has longer term plans to eventually connect this path system with the McHenry County Conservation District's Prairie Trail.
Having open space and recreational facilities for our residents to enjoy is a priority for the Village. As the Village of Johnsburg develops we will continue to dedicate land for this use. Currently, local sports organizations provide baseball, softball, soccer and football leagues for all ages. Don't forget about the 3.5 miles of waterfront on the Fox River and Chain O'Lakes where boating and fishing are paramount to our residents. Take a short drive and enjoy other activities at such places as Wilmot Mountain Ski Resort, Chain O'Lakes State Park, Moraine Hills State Park and the Volo Bog.
Additionally, our Community Affairs committee is focused on providing events and programs for entertainment and to support community involvement. Past programs have included music festivals for our younger population, basketball tournaments and even a bike rodeo. There are annual events such as the Johnsburg Area Business Expo and Craft Show sponsored by the Business Association and Saufen Und Spiel sponsored by our local Community Club. See the community calendar on this web site for information concerning upcoming programs.
