We’ve spent the last year listening to our customers on a variety of topics and will soon be launching a series of initiatives that illustrate our renewed commitment and intensified focus on creating an exceptional customer experience.

Strength Growth

But, enhancing the customer experience also requires cooperation – from our residents and our partners. We’re fortunate to have had so many residents participate in our efforts to build a much anticipated dog park at Melas Park. And, thanks to our long-standing and stable relationship with the Mt. Prospect Park District, the new Canine Commons is scheduled to open in June and will be the first of its kind in both communities. We thank you for your input, creative name suggestions and support during the development of this project. We look forward to seeing you and your four-legged friends this summer.

Maryfran H. Leno Vice President

Stability

To ensure customer satisfaction at every point in the process of doing business with us, we recognize that it begins with engaging staff at every level. So recently we formed a cross-departmental team to strengthen our customer service standards and to streamline processes across the District and at all facilities. More to come on this exciting effort.

Myles A. Naughton

Ahh Summer! Did you know that sunlight builds the immune system and has been shown to increase the growth and height of children and grass? We’re banking on that last statement especially in the case of Frontier Park, whose athletic fields and garden plots will remain closed throughout the summer and potentially opening later this year.

Definitely opening later this year is a modernized Camelot building replete with a suspended, indoor walking track and full-size gymnasium which will help meet the growing demand for fitness, athletics and overall more recreation options. Details on the grand reopening of Camelot Community Center will be available soon.

Robert J. Nesvacil

There are many benefits of sunlight but none more so than its ability to cure us from a particularly long winter. So, I hope you take time to enjoy the great outdoors this summer by visiting one of our six pools, two golf courses or multiple tennis courts and parks as you quench your thirst for fun, affordable and impactful recreation options with the Arlington Heights Park District.

Timothy A. Gelinas Maryfran Leno

How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?

What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?

The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.

We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. Listed below are the delivery dates for Fall 2014 through Summer 2015; please mark your calendars accordingly. The Program Guide is also available online at ahpd.org and you can pick up a copy of the brochure at any Park District facility after the delivery dates.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents.

• The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days.

• Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days.

• Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

Guide Fall 2014 Winter 2015 Spring 2015 Summer 2015

Delivery Date (Saturdays) July 19 November 15 January 24 April 18

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353.

We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway.

There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view the the new interactive guide online at ahpd.org. You may also print the guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page.

We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Attention Roller Hockey Players Bring your skates to the Park District’s two free roller hockey courts. Measuring 120 feet by 50 feet, the courts are located at Carefree Park, between Belmont Ave. & Douglas Avenue, and at Greenbrier Park, Verde Drive & Roanoke Drive. The rinks have hockey markings and goal nets. They are slightly smaller than regulation size.

Skate Park at Olympic Park, 660 N. Ridge The skate park located at Olympic Park, 660 N. Ridge Ave., north of the indoor swim center will open for the season in early April at the discretion of Park District staff and after a thorough inspection of the park has taken place.

Park District facilities and vehicles have been designated as non-smoking areas. Our facilities include the buildings, fenced outdoor pool areas and athletic fields.

Plan A Picnic Have an old-fashioned picnic in the park.

Picnic Groves A variety of facilities are available including picnic tables, ball diamonds, swimming pools, etc. Check with your local park for specifics. Groups larger than 25 need a permit to use a picnic grove. Barbecue grills may be brought into the following parks, but no alcoholic beverages are allowed.

Recycling in the Parks You may have noticed something new in the past couples of years in our parks. Our green garbage containers now double as recycling cans. In an effort to become a greener component to our community, the Park District has partnered with Groot Recycling and Waste Services. Here’s how it works. All the trash collected in our small garbage trucks will be hauled and dumped at Groot’s facility in Elk Grove Village. This state of the art recycling/waste facility separates the recyclable material from the solid waste. For our special events and for some of our higher use facilities and parks we will be providing special containers with special liners to assist in the front end collection. If you have any further questions please contact Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013

For Your Safety The use of cell phones, cameras and other recording devices is prohibited in all Arlington Heights Park District locker rooms and bathrooms. Please report any suspicious behavior. Thank you for your cooperation.

The central feature of this beautiful area is the Virgil K. Horvath Fountain. The fountain is operational from mid-April through late October and is a prime location for wedding, prom and special occasion “picture-taking.” If you are interested in taking personal photos in this area here are few simple guidelines: • No appointment or permit is needed to take personal photos in the park. However, the park is rented out for wedding ceremonies and large special events are offered by the Park District throughout the year. Please call the Administration Center at 847-577-3000 to confirm park rentals and events.

COMMUNITY UPDATE:

Managing Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) By now you’ve noticed that several ash trees throughout Arlington Heights have been removed. And, while treescapes across town will continue to change due to the EAB infestation, there is some good news to report.

Here’s what’s been done: 2011: The Park District inventoried a total of 489 affected trees.

To save or not to save?

How did we decide?

Treated if healthy, had more than ½ of their leaves and showed few signs of EAB. Cut down if unhealthy, missing more than ½ of their leaves and showed many signs of EAB

2012

2013

143

6

110

77

The good news: 96% of treated trees have survived.

What’s our plan moving forward?

It’s been estimated that the peak of EAB impact on the Village of Arlington Heights and the Park District would occur in 2015 and diminish from there.

The Parks Department original goal was to attempt to save 25% of our ash tree population. As of 2013 we have treated over 30%.

As of January 2014 the Arlington Heights Park District has a grand total of 299 ash trees left in the Parks, of those 153 of them have not been treated.

During late March/early April of 2014 the Parks Department will perform another ash tree evaluation to determine how many additional trees will be removed or treated. The parks department will be re-treating the 143 ash trees originally treated in 2012 and an additional undetermined number of ash trees based on evaluation results.

If you have any questions about the Arlington Heights Park District EAB management plan please contact the Parks and Planning Department at 847.577.3009 or visit www.ahpd.org. Or call the Village of Arlington Heights Forestry Unit at 847.368.5848.

Flag Display in North School Park The annual patriotic flag display in North School Park at Eastman Street and Arlington Heights Road is installed before Memorial Day weekend and remains until after July 4. Grouped throughout the park are the evolution of old glory flag, 27 stars and stripes flags, beginning with the 13-star flag ratified in 1787. Merchant Marines and the Coast Guard flags will be in the amphitheater with the other military flags. In front of the Administration Center, 410 N. Arlington Heights Road, are 15 historic flags from the pre-American Revolutionary War era.

Many homeowners and neighborhoods have banded together to treat their parkway trees with great success. One such example is the 2600 block of North Forrest Lane in Northgate 5 where 37 trees were treated in May 2012 and all are still alive and healthy today.

So what can you do if you want to keep your mature ash tree? Call an arborist to determine if your tree is a good candidate for treatment.

Or, learn more from five neighborhoods working together to save as many trees as possible by visiting their website at www.saveourash.org.

Clean Up the Parks Week IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GET INVOLVED! Gather family, friends, and neighbors for a clean-up party at your neighborhood park during the week of May 4 thru May 10.

Park District provides the bags and gloves. Participants receive a certificate of appreciation and recognition in the Park District Fall Program Guide and on the Park District web site. To register: Call Frontier Service Center, 847.577.3013 between 9 am -3 pm weekdays or contact your local Community Center weekdays 1-5 pm.

Morning (QuickStart) Tennis n’ Swim Camp Morning campers will be treated to a morning of swimming, tennis, and general all-around fun! The lessons will be taught by experienced, well-prepared instructors from Heritage Tennis Club and Olympic Indoor Swim Center. Weekly camps will run Monday through Friday. The day will begin with the entire group enjoying a 40 minute swim lesson followed by a 45 minute tennis lesson using the QuickStart Tennis teaching methods. QuickStart Tennis takes a new and better approach to introducing kids to the game by using fun sized courts, nets, racquets, and balls. The lighter low compression balls bounce lower and move through the air slower which helps develops proper techniques. The camp will then finish the day with lunch n’ games (campers provide their own brown bag lunch which we will refrigerate during the morning). Parents need to drop off their campers at 8:50 am indoors at the pool and pick them up at 12:30 pm by the tennis courts. Kids will love the activities and parents with busy mornings will love their newfound flexibility! Sign up for one week, all nine weeks or anything in between.

Summer Session Information: There are several different session dates for the summer. We are offering two days-per-week swim lessons as well as the traditional two-week sessions and Saturday session. There will be no classes held on Fridays. Please be sure to check your swim lesson session dates. Not all swim lessons meet every day of the week. Some have conflicts with Interpark meets and some are only two days pers week. Please be sure to review the dates that you sign up for. There are sessions that run for TWO weeks, and FOUR weeks, along with SATURDAY only classes.

No classes dates: There are a few days this summer when classes will not meet.

There will also be no classes on Saturday, July 26 at all pools due to City Meet.

Interpark Meet conflicts: At each pool there will be days when an Interpark swim meet conflicts with swim lessons. At Camelot, Frontier, Pioneer and Recreation the first swim lessons of the morning will be affected.

At Heritage and Olympic the first swim lessons of the evening will be affected. All of the Interpark conflict dates are reflected in the scheduled offerings and the fees are adjusted accordingly.

Interpark conflict dates will also be posted at the pools during the summer and announcements will be made to help remind participants.

First Day of Lessons: It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of all the conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this on-line at ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm.

Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School and Semi-Private Swim School. Four-year olds can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents.

Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.

Parent’s Day: Parent’s Days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School and are a day when parents are invited pool side to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.

How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons?

If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule the pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to refund off the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.

Questions or Comments: During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible for the supervision of the day’s activities. In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Steve Neill 847.590.6059, sjneill@ahpd.org.

Jr. Swim School (3-6 yrs)

AQUATICS

Private Swim Lessons (3-12 yrs) Registration is now available on the first day of resident registration and can be done on-line. The minimum age for private swim lesson has been lowered to 3 years old. Private swim lessons are designed to meet your child’s individual needs. Each code is for two classes. You can sign up for as many as you like. They are packaged in sets of two, unless there is an interpark swim meet conflict and then only one will be offered that week. New participants will be contacted prior to the first day of lessons by a Swim Lesson Coordinator who will ask about your instructor preference and what specifically your child needs to work on. We hope this new registration format makes it easier for both parents and staff to schedule and organize the private swim lessons. (SN)

One-on-One Coaching Sessions at Recreation Park One-on-One coaching sessions will meet your individual competitive swimming goals. Each code is for three classes and you must be able to attend all three days. The first session starts with a discussion about expectations and goals. Each swimmer will then be given an individual plan for the sessions that includes technique work, drills, review and sprints. The sessions are coached by Arlington Muskies Swim Coaches. We will do our best to accommodate coaching requests, but please understand that not all coaches are available for every session. Adults looking to improve their strokes for triathlons or meets may also sign up for the evening sessions.

Swim Academy (6-12 yrs) Swim Academy is a learn-to-swim program designed with a focus on endurance and technique. Students should be able to complete one length freestyle and backstroke to be eligible for Swim Academy. This program is aimed for those swimmers who are looking for further immersion into the sport of swimming. The one hour class will be structured as a combination between our swim lesson program and the competitive swim team, the Arlington Muskies. The core of the program is based around the four competitive swim strokes: backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Swimmers begin, in the novice level Bronze, with the basic skills associated with backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Streamline, sometimes considered the ĂŹfifthĂŽ competitive stroke, will also be taught from the beginning.

Swimmers will work through the progression of each stroke, starting from building endurance with a strong and efficient kick. The progression will continue with further parts of each stroke being broken down with the help of diagrams and in water drills, provided by the instruction of the coaches. The second level, Silver, continues freestyle and backstroke, with the addition of flip turns. Breaststroke is taught in full and the beginnings of butterfly are also introduced. In Gold, all strokes are worked on with proper turns. Students will also begin to work on using the pace clock. Throughout the program students will be introduced to some of the aspects of competitive swimming other than just the swim strokes themselves. The stroke, streamline, turn, and start are all equal parts of a race. This program is one part of swimming being lifelong. The ratio is eight students to one coach.

Swim School (5-12 yrs) The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities.

• Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance.

• Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program.

Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes. Based on suggestions from parent evaluations, one week classes and two day a week classes are being offered. There are no classes on Fridays. All fees are adjusted based on how many days your class meets. Please review the dates of the classes you are interested in. No class 6/26, 7/10, 7/22, 7/26. (SN)

Splashball What is Splashball? Think of water polo in shallow water! What a great way to get introduced to a great new team sport. Splashball will be taught in shallow water, where the participants can mostly stand on the bottom. The rules for Splashball are different than water polo. Some of the key differences are that the participant can touch the bottom of the pool, can use two hands on the ball, and there is no defensive contact allowed. Focus will be on team passing, shooting, and defensive positioning. Participants must be able to swim at least 25 yards of the pool and be comfortable in the water.

All practices sessions will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All matches will take place at Recreation Park on Fridays between 10 am and 12 noon.

Match scheduling will take into consideration the Interpark Swim Team meet schedule. Emphasis will be on having fun, learning the basics and sportsmanship.

Forest View reserves the right to move students up or down levels at the discretion of professional staff.

Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching young junior players the first of three phases of our lesson program. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Quickstart Tennis Lessons Children are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This miniature version of adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time.

Students will be assigned to a group within the camp that is appropriate for their age and ability. In addition to tennis specific skills, camp activities will stress both eye - hand coordination and agility training. Sign up for one week or as many weeks that fit your family schedule. Skill training will be progressive for multi week campers.

Forest View Academy Program

Forest View is excited to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition.

Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) • For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com

Academy Program Summer Schedule Class placement in the Academy Program is per pro recommendation, and is based on several factors including but not limited to: age, previous tennis lesson experience, competition/tournament experience and group fit. Registration and payment for Academy classes must be made in person at Forest View Racquet & Fitness Club.

PRESCHOOL Preschool Classes for 3-5 Year Olds About the Instructors:

Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.

Lynn Minuskin

Preschool Supervisor For more information on preschool programs, please call Lynn at 847.398-4339 or lminuskin@ahpd.org.

About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting numbers 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play. Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable.

Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2014; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2014. Proof of age is required at the time of registration.

Please bring a birth certificate to registration. Children currently enrolled in the 3-4 year old program receive priority in registering for the 4-5 year old program. Some programs may be full at the February 22 general registration. The 3-4 year old program does not require a parent to help throughout the year assisting the instructor, however, you may assist if you are interested. Parents are required to supply snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program approximately 4-5 times a year.

Sign-up for the snack helper dates is conducted in the fall. The 4-5 year old classes provide a teacher and teacher’s aide.

MARTIAL ARTS

MARTIAL ARTS stamina Which Karate Program is right for me?

What ages do the programs cover?

The Park District offers two different Karate Programs: The ISKC and the Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program. These are two distinctively different programs. Programs cover ages 4 through adults.

Illinois Shotokan Karate: Pre-Karate Ages 4-7 years Parent / Child Karate Ages 7 years + (open to parents and children age 7-14 years) Karate Ages 7-14 years Karate Ages 15 years + Kid’s Karate Club: Ages 4-15 years (participants are divided into age appropriate groups during the class) | Adults (parents may attend class by signing up for the Parent Helper Program)

What is the difference?

The Illinois Shotokan Karate Club (ISKC) instructs the following Karate Programs: Pre-Karate, Parent / Child Karate, and Youth and Adult Karate. The program stresses the development of cardiovascular fitness, coordination, strength, and karate skills.

Personal safety skills and self-defense skills are also taught at the appropriate levels. The Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program specializes in teaching the martial arts and safety to children ages 4-15 years. The program revolves around family involvement and stresses respect. Parents may attend class with their child by signing up for the Parent Helper Program. Both programs are motivational and encourage participants to do their best in all activities, including school and other sports.

Besides the class fees, what other fees are associated with the program?

Kid’s Karate Club: Students are asked to purchase a uniform by the third week of class with a cost of $35 per student; $40 parent helpers. $38 for Tournaments and Testing. Tournaments and Belt Testing are optional. Yellow Belts and up will need to purchase additional protective equipment.

Kid’s Karate Club Parent Helper Program

Are the Levels and Association of Color of Belts the same?

No. Because these are distinctively different programs, the Levels and Association of Color of Belts are not the same. If you choose to switch from one program to another, you may not be placed in the same Level or considered at the same Color of Belt.

Color of Belt Level White Beginner White with Stripes Beginner/Novice Red Continuing Orange Novice Yellow Novice/Intermediate Blue Intermediate Green Intermediate/Advanced Purple Advanced Black Advanced/Expert

Would you like to attend class with your child? You will hold kicking and punching shields, help organize the children in line, and assist the instructors with class, while learning the martial arts yourself.

You are not required to attend every class. The parent helper program is available to all parents with children in the program.

There is no fee to take karate, but parents who help are asked to purchase a uniform with a cost of $40. Call the Karate Club Hotline at 630.293.9989 for more information.

PARK FOUNDATION

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington exclusively dedicated to veterans. Each year, the Memorial Day Parade ends at Memorial Park where the entire community participates in a solemn ceremony to honor all veterans.

Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, Memorial Park has roots deep in Arlington history. Civil War veteran, Dr. John Best, wanted to honor the sacrifices of Civil War veterans. So in 1883, he donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” - a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park District. The Park was renamed “Memorial Park” and dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history.

Since 2006, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee has worked with the Park District and other organizations to rebuild Memorial Park. A beautiful new design was constructed which features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington veterans have served; the Eternal Flame sculpture and commemorative bricks to honor the service and sacrifice of individual veterans.

A special section of Memorial Park is dedicated to the 58 young men from Arlington Heights who have died in the service of our Nation – from the Civil War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. We call these 58 young men Arlington’s Fallen Heroes.

To date, 500+ veterans are honored with a brick at Memorial Park. Each brick features an inscription that tells a story of service and sacrifice. Individually, these bricks recount the history of a veteran. Collectively, the 500+ bricks tell a story of service in the cause of freedom that crosses generations. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Park and view the bricks. It will be a memorable experience.

Resident Registration begins May 8 at 10 am

Any veteran can be honored in the Park – from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war). Simply purchase a Commemorative Brick, and it will be placed in Memorial Park.

For a Memorial Park brochure and brick order form, log onto the Memorial Park webpage: ahparkfoundation.org/memorialparkfund or call the Park District at 847.577.3000.

For questions, please call Greg Padovani, Chairman of the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee at 847.392.9113.

Resident Registration begins May 8 at 10 am

The Arlington Heights Park District is committed to accessibility for all people providing Park District service, programs and activities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Brian Meyer, Director of Recreation and Facilities, is the District’s ADA Compliance Officer. If you need a special accommodation to participate in any Park District function, contact Brian at 847.577.3009 and he will be happy to assist you. Program participants should complete the Special Accommodation section on the registration form. This gives the program supervisor the information they need to assist you.

NOTE: The Recreation Park community center is not an accessible facility.

As a Park District Resident, you...

• Are entitled to resident rates when registering for Buffalo Grove Park District recreation programs but must register at the non-resident registration dates. Adult athletic leagues and special revenue facilities are excluded.

• Can receive discounted rates on Learn to Skate through the Rolling Meadows Park District.

• Are eligible to purchase ice skating passes (valid September-May) from the Rolling Meadows Park District at resident rates.

• Are reimbursed the non-resident portion of the fee when registering for the Renegades Hockey program at the Rolling Meadows Park District. The Arlington Heights Park District pays this reimbursement when a copy of the receipt is submitted to the athletic supervisor.

• May golf or fish at the Salt Creek Park District Twin Lakes facility at resident rates when presenting a special Arlington Heights Park District resident pass. This photo ID pass may be purchased at the Arlington Heights Park District Administrative Office for $2.

New Residents We have a packet of Park District information and a coupon page to introduce new residents to our wonderful recreation activities. If you’re new to Arlington Heights or have a friend or neighbor moving into our busy community, call 847.506.7142 to request a free new resident packet. If leaving a message, please spell your name and be sure to include your zip code with your address.

Not all Arlington Heights Residents are in the Park District We deliver the Program Guide to everyone within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District; however, there are several areas in the Village that are not in the Park District. Some of these areas: • Arbor Lakes Apartments • Any street west of Wilke Road • Briarwood Lake • Carriageway Drive • Central Park East Apartments • Courts of Russetwood • Dale Avenue between Gregory and Kensington • Dana Point Condominiums • Daniels Court • Donald Avenue between Grove and Kensington • Evanston Avenue between Gregory and Kensington • Happfield Drive • Rammer Avenue between Grove and Kensington • Regent Park If you live in these areas, please use the nonresident information when registering for classes. For additional information on which Park District you belong to, please consult your tax bill.

Park District Residents: To qualify for resident fees an individual must reside within the boundaries of the Arlington Heights Park District. The Recreation Department may waive the residency requirement for a program if it is considered in the best interest of the Park District.

Non-residents: Bring your completed registration form to any community center or Administration Center on or after May 23. Non Resident registration begins at 10 am. Non Resident registrations received before this date are held and processed beginning May 23.

Because residents contribute to the overall financing of the Park District with their property taxes, they pay a lower fee for classes.

Non-residents may register for recreation programs; however, residents receive admission priority to all programs.

Please note that some programs have a non-resident fee listed under the program description as the second fee indicated as NR.

Photo Policy Photos and videos are periodically taken of people participating in Park District program and activities.

All persons registering for Park District programs/ activities, or using Park District property thereby agrees that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used by the Park District for promotional purposes including its electronic media, videotapes, brochures, flyers and other publications without additional, prior notice or permission and without compensation to the participant.
