Join us for a FREE GO Gurnee “Walking and Wagging” event on Sunday, May 18!
Bring your four-legged best friend for a guided 1.5 mile walk around the trails of Betty Russell Park! Attendees will receive FREE pet-friendly GO Gurnee gifts (while supplies last).
If you don’t own a puppy, don’t worry! During the event, volunteers from “Reach Rescue”, a non-profit animal rescue group located out of Mundelein, IL, will be on hand with a few of their available rescues. Reach Rescue will be able to answer questions about their adoption process, provide information to those who may be interested in fostering, as well as accept donations for their continued rescue mission.
This is a FREE event, but please make sure to register!
Families are invited to bring their bikes to Viking Park and join us for our NEW GO Gurnee On Wheels event!

Attendees will receive a FREE helmet check and a bike tune-up coupon from “Mobile Bike Repair” in Gurnee. FREE GO Gurnee swag will also be available, while supplies last.
If you don’t have a bike, don’t worry! During the event, “Bikes Again“, a used/refurbished bike shop located in downtown Grayslake will be on site with used bikes to try out and purchase.
