WINTER & SPRING 2026 TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Park District Commissioners

As we move into the Winter and Spring seasons, the Arlington Heights Park District is proud to continue celebrating our 100th Anniversary. This milestone has been an opportunity to honor our history, while looking forward to the future of parks and recreation in our community.

We invite you to join us at special events that are part of this yearlong celebration, including Winter Frostival, the Holiday Tree Lighting and our TGIF Family Dance Party. Each event offers a chance to make lasting memories with family, friends and neighbors.

In addition to these celebrations, we are excited to share updates on some major projects that will enhance the experiences of our community.

The Arlington Ridge Center (ARC) improvements are underway! Highlights of the renovation include a reimagined lobby, reconfiguration of aquatic locker rooms, a new two-story addition to expand programming opportunities, two private family changing rooms and the relocation of the outdoor basketball court. These upgrades are part of our continued commitment to best maintain ARC for residents today and for generations to come.

Work is also progressing at Recreation Park. With the close of the summer pool season, construction began on the pool and bathhouse renovation. This long-awaited project will breathe new life into one of our community’s most beloved gathering places, ensuring it remains a destination for families and swimmers of all ages.

We are proud to share that Frank Lesniak, president of the Arlington Heights Park Foundation board, has been honored with the Illinois Association of Park Districts’ Outstanding Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award. This recognition celebrates Frank’s exceptional dedication, leadership and countless contributions that have strengthened our parks and community. We are grateful for his vision and service, which continue to make a lasting impact in Arlington Heights.

We are also proud to share that the Arlington Heights Park District has once again been recognized for its exceptional budgeting practices. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has presented the District with a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 24th consecutive year—a testament to our strong financial stewardship and accountability to the community.

Thank you for being part of our Park District community during this exciting chapter in our history. We look forward to celebrating with you and seeing you in our parks, facilities and programs this season.

The Arlington Heights Park District is governed by a Board of elected officials. The Board meets on Tuesdays at the Administration Center. Meetings begin at 6:30PM. Residents are able to attend. Visit ahpd.org for the board meeting schedule.

Sincerely,

Maryfran H. Leno

NORTH SCHOOL PARK HOLIDAY DISPLAY

he Arlington Heights Park District’s annual Holiday Tree Lighting began as a way to build community and bring neighbors together through hosting the first tree lighting in 1926. In 1991, the tradition expanded with the opening of the holiday display at North School Park, which quickly became a centerpiece of the celebration. Many of the beloved displays were designed and created by former Park District employee Louis Nagy, whose artistic vision and welding skills brought whimsical charm and creativity to the event and continues to inspire the displays seen today.

Today, the event is a collaborative celebration with the Village of Arlington Heights and the Special Events Commission, featuring over 20 holiday displays and more than 100,000 sparkling lights. Held the day after Thanksgiving, this festive tradition continues to unite families and friends with seasonal music, treats and family-friendly activities, officially kicking off the holiday season in Arlington Heights.

The Arlington Heights Park District has a variety of facilities available to rent. Consider hosting your next occasion at the Park District – we’re looking forward to working with you.

Session 2 is eight weeks and begins the week of March 7.

Please note: Sunday session 2 is only six weeks due to Spring Break and the Easter Holiday.

The classes below can be found on the grid on pages 34-35.

Water Babies | Ages 6 Months-3 Years

Parent in Water with Child

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.

3-5 years | Junior Swim School

No parent in water

30 minutes-group lessons

Junior Swim School classes are 30-minute sessions designed to help children gain confidence in the water independently. Many children will be entering a pool without a parent for the first time, so our instructors' priority is to ensure they feel at ease and comfortable. This process may involve starting with basic tasks such as getting the face and hair wet, before moving on to supported floats, bobs, kick board use and eventually swimming a short distance without assistance underwater. To end the session on a positive note, our instructors engage the children in a fun game during the last five minutes of the class.

5-12 Years | Swim School

40 minutes

Swim School now offers 40-minute classes, providing more time for repetition and skill development. Swimming is considered a vital lifelong skill and we believe that repetition is essential for success.

In our group Swim School environment, we aim to motivate your child through progressive levels of instruction. Starting with foundational skills such as correct face and body position, floats, and opening eyes underwater without goggles, your child will advance to learning all swim strokes, treading water in deep areas, dives and flip turns for those who are interested.

To make learning enjoyable, our instructors incorporate games that utilize swim school skills, and we reserve the last few minutes of each class for fun activities like jumping off the diving boards. Overcoming fears associated with diving boards is an important milestone, and our instructors are present in the water to provide support and guidance, creating a safe and encouraging environment for your child to develop their confidence.

9-15 years | Tween Group Swim Lessons

40 minutes

For the tween/teen taking swimming lessons for the first time or for those not comfortable in large body of water. This class takes place in our lap pool and diving well. Skills include: 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.

Ages 3+ | Semi-Private Swim Lessons | 30 minutes

• Semi-Private Swim Lessons are each Saturday at 10:30AM for the session.

• Sign up for beginner or advanced.

• Your child is paired with one other child.

• Both children share one teacher for 30 minutes.

• The teacher follows the weekly lesson plans used for Swim School.

• There are no refunds or make-ups for missed classes.

Beginner Class – for the child that cannot float or kick without assistance and is hesitant to go underwater or possibly afraid. The teacher takes turns working with each child.

Advanced Class – for the child that can swim without assistance. Both children swim at the same time while the teacher corrects strokes. Individual time is given to each child as needed.

There is no option to pick your child’s teacher. If you prefer to hand select a specific teacher, check out PopUp Private Swim Lessons on the next page.

ADULT LEAGUES

The Park District offers adult leagues at a variety of competitive levels to accommodate players and teams with a range of recreational interests and abilities. All players must be 18 years or older.

Registration

One player registers an entire team and all fees are due at registration. Register for your preferred level and, if that level is full, register for the waitlist. 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.

Bracketing and Scheduling

Once registration closes, brackets and season schedules are created. Final brackets are determined by a variety of factors including the number of teams registered and past season records.

• We try our best to evenly assign game time slots and cannot accommodate special schedule requests.

• Once schedules are finalized, we will email a schedule link, season information and team roster/waiver instructions to the captain.

Rosters and Waivers

Your team roster also serves as the individual waiver for all players and a new roster with all players’ signatures must be submitted before the start of your first game EVERY season.
