"The idea of the program is to get families out on their bikes, and also promote all of our parks," said Pam Carter, recreation supervisor for the Lemont Park District.

Families who sign up receive a "Fun and Family Fitness" passport to fill with photos documenting each park visit. Families who visit the most parks will be recognized by the Lemont Park District, and will receive prizes.
