LETTER

Maryfran H. Leno President

The summer and fall seasons are officially in the books at AHPD and we are turning a new page into the winter and spring seasons! The Park Board of Commissioners is excited to share several capital project and Recreation Park updates with you.

Capital Projects Update: • Pond bank stabilization and restoration at Arlington Lakes Golf Club is complete. This will prevent further erosion from occurring and protect cart paths that are in close proximity to water features.

• A new playground was installed at Sunset Ridge Park over the summer and the new Happiness Park playground is expected to be installed in the spring of 2024.

• Paths at Pioneer Park were replaced and it was wonderful seeing so many of you walking or riding on the new paths during the summer and fall.

• Basketball court replacements at Evergreen and Virginia Terrace Parks as well as tennis court replacements at Heritage Park are expected to be completed in October.

Recreation Park Updates: • The District anticipates Recreation Park Phase I construction beginning in summer of 2024 following Frontier Days and finishing in the early summer of 2025. This phase includes a fully accessible playground, outdoor fitness equipment, skate park, shelter, parking lot, new tennis courts and more.

• In case you missed an update in the Fall Program Guide, the District submitted an application through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act (PARC) Grant which will go towards aquatic facility improvements at Recreation Park. Improvements will include renovation of the recreation center into a fully accessible bathhouse, complete removal of the existing 50-meter swimming pool to be replaced with a new 50-meter swimming pool, an updated children’s aquatic area and additional green space accessible to pool users. We expect to find out next year if we received this important grant funding.

Timothy A. Gelinas Vice President

Robert J. Nesvacil

Additional information and updates regarding this project and other capital improvement projects can be found on our website.

Other News from the Park District: • AHPD received the “Best of the Best” in the Best Park District category recognition by the Daily Herald’s Readers’ Choice program.

• The District’s Children at Play (CAP) program won an Illinois Association of Park Districts Best of the Best Award for Best Intergovernmental Cooperation in partnership with the Village of Arlington Heights and School Districts 21, 25 and 59.

• The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Arlington Heights Park District.

Thank you to our residents for your continued support of the Park District over the last 98 years! We hope that we will see you at festive holiday special events, skating at the outdoor ice rinks, racing down the sled hills in the colder months and enjoying the parks, courts and playgrounds in the spring.

Sincerely,

Brian J. Owen

John T. Supplitt

REGISTRATION First Time Registering?

Park District staff can create a profile for you. Park District residents must come, in person, to either Administration Center, Camelot, Pioneer Community Centers or the Arlington Ridge Center during registration hours and provide proof of residency for all minors and household members being added to the account.

Park District non-residents do not need to show proof of residency and may either create an account in person at one of the above locations or call 847.577.3000 and ask staff to create a household account over the phone.

Regardless of residency status, new account holders must provide a name, address, email, phone number, and date of your birth to set up an account.

Account Creation Information

The following forms of identification will be accepted to prove residency: 1. Each adult on the profile must provide either a driver’s license or state ID with current address OR two of the following: utility bill(s), no older than 60 days, voter registration card, or a vehicle registration card listing name and household address.

2. For children who do not have a driver’s license or state ID, provide a current report card, school picture ID, birth certificate, parent insurance card listing dependents, or other form of ID a parent may have that prove guardianship or that the children reside at that address.

If the activity is full, what happens?

Complete your registration to be placed on the waiting list. We do not charge you to register for a waiting list spot and will contact you if a space opens for that activity or additional activities are added.

Please be sure to have a current bank card saved to your household account as we require payment to transfer from the wait list into an activity. Please note: We recommend that, if possible, you register for a secondary activity option with openings.

Registration Resident Registration Tuesday, December 5 at 10AM Non-Resident Registration Tuesday, December 12 at 10AM

For insurance purposes, the Park District requires all participants, or legal guardians of minor participants, to sign a waiver before participating in a program. Inperson and mail-in registrants must sign the waiver on the registration form. Online registrants must agree to all waivers when checking out.

• Patrons may not participate in programs if the waiver is not signed, and refunds will not be granted.

Refund Policy

Refund requests must be submitted online, and refunds will NOT be issued once a program has ended.

All refunds are subject to a $5 administration service fee except under the following circumstances: • A request due to dissatisfaction that is approved by the program supervisor • Refunds initiated by the Park District • A request due to medical issues submitted with a doctor’s note • Request to refund a particular date within a program that falls on a date that the resident honors as a religious holiday. Participants may either make up the missed class, if space exists, or have the fee pro-rated to reflect the missed date. The program supervisor can assist you with either option.

If you need a special accommodation to participate in any Park District function, please provide details in the Special Accommodation section on the registration form, in the Special Needs inquiry during online registration, or contact Brian Meyer, Director of Recreation and Facilities, at BMeyer@ahpd.org.

SWIM LESSONS 6mo-3yrs | Water Babies with Parent(s) in Water

Expose your baby to a body of water bigger than the kitchen sink or bathtub! Everyone begins class together with an opening song. Instructor will divide class in half based on age and size of baby, if needed. Instructor introduces/demos a skill for each group. Parents work on skills and the instructor will move about class and offer tips/corrections to parents. We will come together as one group for songs several times in class. These classes are very popular and always a great way to meet new pool buddies in your neighborhood. Crying and screaming is perfectly normal and welcome! This class is the perfect opportunity to expose your baby to the pool before you first family outing to open swim or a vacation.

Depending on age and size we will work on: • How to hold your baby in water for each skill • Floats • Kicks • Underwater exposure (if desired) • “Jump” in from sitting (for our older babies) • Blowing bubbles • Bobs • Roll overs

3-6yrs | Junior Swim School | 30 min.

3:1 ratio. No parent in water. 30 min. For most – it’s the first time a child enters a pool without a parent so we begin by making your child feel comfortable.

This may look like simply focusing on getting the face and hair wet at first, which can be scary for some.

Then progressing through supported floats, bobs, kick board use, and eventually swimming 3 yards with no assistance under water. Last five minutes of class – we turn on the kiddie slide and sprays for fun time.

Last class of the session ends 15 minutes early to hand out level bag tags and celebrate our swimmers moving to a different level. NO GOGGLES PLEASE. Scan QR code on page 31 to learn more.

5-9yrs | Swim School –6:1 ratio | 30 min.

A group environment to motivate your child. Our first level begins with correct face and body position, floats, and opening eyes underwater without goggles. Your child will then progress through levels where all the swim strokes are introduced and eventually working towards treading in deep water, dives, and flip turns.

The instructor typically plays a game using swim school skills for the last 5 minutes. This class is in our lap pool.

Diving well is used to complete some skills in our higher levels. Last class of the session ends 15 minutes early to hand out level bag tags and celebrate our swimmers moving to a different level.

10-15yrs | Group Swim Lessons for Tweens/Teens

Perfect for the tween/teen taking swimming lessons for the first time because they will be with kids their own age. We will be in our Wellness Pool. Diving Well for treading water. Skills: holding breath underwater, floating, introduction to front crawl/backstroke/ sidestroke, and basic life skills such as treading water to help your tween/teen feel more confident and comfortable in water. For the more advanced 10-15 year old - we will work on all four swim strokes, or we recommend our Otter’s or Muskies Swim Teams.

Information on these teams can be found on our website.

Swim Lessons

Before your child’s first swimming lesson please review the following by scanning the QR code: • Refund policy • Make-up policy • Swim Lessons Code of Conduct (for everyone’s safety in the water) • Why we strongly suggest no goggles for beginner swimmers

Who is teaching my child?

Almost all of our instructors are currently high school or college students. Many are high school and college swimmers and quite a few are interested in a career specializing in early childhood and/or teaching. We aim for our swimming lesson program to be a highlight of your child’s school year this season and that is only possible because of our staff.

Visit www.ahpd.org/programs/swim-lessons/ or contact Angela Neill, Aquatic Supervisor–Swim Lessons, 847.577.3029.

• An à la carte experience • Designed so you can pick a specific teacher to make your child feel comfortable. Or maybe you have a favorite teacher (an amenity not possible with group swim lessons).

• Perfect for the young child who does not like a group environment for swim lessons • 30-minute swim lesson with private one-on-one attention. Accomplish a lot without the distraction of other kids in a group.

• Tell your instructor what you want to work on - or if you’re not sure, we will come up with a plan together. Some people sign their kids up with one goal in mind such as: eliminating fear water, going off diving board for the first time, or swim team strokes/skills/endurance/ breathing tips.

• Great compliment to Muskies or Otters!

• In addition to the times on the cart – we will also have Saturday morning options.

• Parents – put your name on the list for class code 76559 if you’re interested. We will email everyone who signs up for that code when instructors’ schedules begin to POP-UP on our registration portal.

Do NOT register for the wrong competitive level to get into a league. If you are a player looking to join a team, please contact the league supervisor.

Today, we continue this tradition as Muller’s original soda factory is a part of the Arlington Heights Historical Museum, a cooperative effort of the Historical Society, Park District and Village in Arlington Heights, Illinois. All proceeds benefit the Arlington Heights Historical Museum.

Fourteen flavors of soda are available for purchase at the museum.
