The CPD, "Chicago park District" has lifted our kiteboarding ban on a test basis and if all goes well we will have full access the whole of next season.
This was done with carefull planning and negotiations by the city and our local team of kiteboarders assigned to work with the CPD.
Effective after the Labor Day weekend:
The Park District will lift the ban on a test basis (details below) and return Montrose Beach Kiteboarding to an "At Your Own Risk" activity that is neither endorsed nor prohibited by the city.
The Park District has asked us to implement our suggested program on a test basis which will be evaluated in the early spring of 2005, with the goal of keeping the beach open for the summer season 2005.
