Self-Guided Tour of Area Ponds and Gardens

MPKS is a not-for-profit, hobbyist organization whose members share a common interest in koi (Japanese colored carp), goldfish, water gardens and backyard ponds. There are currently about 500 members, mostly in Chicago and surrounding counties as well as Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and as far away as Hawaii. MPKS meets on the 3rd Friday of the month from January through October at The Oaks, formerly the Ramada Inn of Burr Ridge. You do not have to be a member to attend.

This website hopes to provide an information repository for all who are interested in any facet of the hobby. See our Site Map for details.

Visitors, please note - we are in Zones 5a and 5b. If you live in other climate zones, you will need to adjust accordingly. Please visit our help section (Letters to the Club) and have a look at the various Articles.
