Thank You Decatur Park District for putting on "Trees On Tees" every year! It is a wonderful community event for people of all ages to enjoy! This event is professionally organized from the parking, checking in, golf cart ride, Santa's house, hot chocolate stand, and so much more! The holiday dancers were fabulous! Thank you to the business sponsors and volunteers for making this an enjoyable event for all!

Rented the large pavilion for a fundraising event and had the best experience! Lisa assisted in getting the agreement in order, and the on-site staff were so helpful and flexible. They were there the day before and day of the event, and offered assistance, arranging the venue to our liking. We will rent again next year. Thanks for having a great space to host events!

Trees on Tees started off as a great event. The last few years has been increasingly getting more and more crowded. 2024 had a date get cancelled due to weather and it pushed everyone from that day over to the last day. Which happens to be the day we paid for. The line was all the way out to the entrance of the parking lot. We waited in line for over 2 hours with 2 babies.. absolutely ridiculous instead of adding an additional date on to accommodate the ticket holders from the canceled date or simply refunding. I did end up getting a refund for the two tickets that weren't used but with some resistance before they agreed to.

We enjoyed the park and the Pavillion. It was a warm windy day perfect to be outside. There was a lot of bees and flies due to use having food for a repass. The only thing I would say needed attention there was broken glass on the stairs.
