Our Park District Commissioners The Arlington Heights Park District is governed by a Board of five elected officials. The Board meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at the Administration Center, 410 N. Arlington Heights Road. Meetings begin at 7 pm. Residents are encouraged to attend.

Park District Mission Statement The Arlington Heights Park District enriches our community by providing quality recreation, parks, facilities and fun.

We do this by: • Ensuring the efficient and effective use of financial resources and Park District assets.

• Providing innovative recreational opportunities and facilities to meet the diverse programming needs of our community.

• Continuing the District’s pursuit of being a community, regional, state and national leader.

• Promoting an environment of cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork.

• Providing quality internal and external customer-focused service.

• Providing stewardship of our open spaces and natural resources.

New Residents 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. A packet of Park District information and a coupon page will introduce new residents to our wonderful recreation activities.

Letter From The President Just as families and neighborhoods in Arlington Heights vary in all kinds of ways, so too do their needs and expectations when it comes to their recreation needs. In many respects, the Arlington Heights Park District is a mirror of its patrons. The programs, parks and facilities we provide represent an amalgamation of community interests, values and attitudes towards conservation, quality of life and health and wellness as a whole.

Whether a patron enrolls in one program or plays one round of golf a year, or relies on preschool and dance programs for their kids, the underlying goal of the Park District is to meet community needs. To reach that objective, the Park Board and staff must consider many questions. One of the most obvious questions is - how will we fund what the community wants?

As we go through this process, community needs is the primary guiding factor. The Park District relies on usage and participation data to determine where to place program and facility development dollars.

However, the District must also consider special needs the community might have. For example, a facility may need improved accessibility to accommodate young mothers or an aging population in that particular neighborhood.

Limited resources are a constant factor when making decisions too.

As the economy has faltered and municipal, county and state budgets have been cut, park and recreation funding remains an important component of a livable and desirable community.

I am pleased to report that our Park District is the recipient of a $2,500,000 Park and Recreational Facility Construction Grant (PARC) to renovate the over 30 year-old Camelot Park Recreation Center.

Camelot Park is one of four parks we would like to modernize to meet the current needs of our residents. Learn about our Master Plan to also renovate Recreation, Heritage and Frontier Park’s by the year 2016 in the center insert of this program guide.

Winter 2012

Dear Residents: More than just bricks and mortar. Building a healthier and happier community.

The Arlington Heights Park District’s plan to renovate four community parks by the year 2016 goes beyond just building the physical environments for fun. This plan will affect and potentially transform the lives of all residents and the community.

By also overhauling aging facilities in order to continue to offer innovative programming, this plan will also deliver modern, social spaces in which to connect with friends and family to create lifelong memories to share forever.

The Park District Board of Commissioners and staff have spent three years researching a long-range facilities solution with substantial resident input.

Whether in focus groups, open forums, Board meetings or neighborhood meetings, you have consistently told us that you want updated facilities.

We want to meet community needs. However, this will take a significant amount of money.

At the August 16, 2011 Regular Board meeting, the Park Board discussed the possibility of referendum funding which would spread a $48 million bond issuance over a 25-year period. This would have a tax impact of $36 per year on a $300,000 market value home.

We listened.

2009 Community Needs Assessment Survey

• Most residents favored building renovations vs. building new. Due to several factors, we are considering a proposal to build new instead of renovate existing.

• Over 60% of respondents favored adding amenities such as fitness center areas and walking/jogging tracks.

2010 Comprehensive Plan and Master Planning Process

• The Park District Board of Commissioners and staff engaged in long-range planning and completed a five-year Comprehensive Plan in 2010 • The master plan allows the District to most efficiently use and reallocate existing buildings, space and resources to continue to offer neighborhoodbased centers as opposed to the larger, centralized centers you may find in other communities.

What is your role in this process?

While the Park District Board of Commissioners has created this master plan, the decision to place a referendum question on the 2012 election ballot has not yet been determined. We encourage you to learn more about our plans to continue providing affordable and impactful fun for your family. And finally, we invite you to speak up and let us know if these plans do or do not reflect your needs and expectations.

Sincerely,

Maryfran H. Leno President Park Board of Commissioners

AHPD reflects me.

THE PLAN MEETS OUR NEEDS AND IS CONSIDERATE OF FUTURE GROWTH. “Many families have lived in Arlington Heights for generations and even into the retirement years. The Park District has something for everyone whether you want to take a leisurely walk in a park or want access to innovative, yet affordable recreation programs. We live here because we choose to live in a community that values quality of life and, that truly does offer something for everyone of the over 76,000 residents calling Arlington Heights home.” -Rob Smith, Board member Affordable, year-round recreation for all ages and abilities requires programming space with flexibility to adapt to multiple uses: recreation programs, parties, meetings, rentals and performances.

• Our community has grown and the way recreation programming is planned has changed significantly since Recreation, Heritage, Frontier and Camelot were built in 1939, 1969, 1969 and 1969 respectively.

• Our community wants more active and passive recreation space close to home including: more open space for outdoor enjoyment, increased indoor gymnasium space and sports field improvements for more playability.

AHPD reflects me.

THE PLAN CONTINUES THE PARK DISTRICT’S HISTORY OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. “The idea of tightening our belt isn’t something just reserved for tough economic times. As a matter of fact, our community has passed previous tax increases during some of the most challenging economic times such as in 1936 during the Great Depression and in 1962, 1965 and 1968 as the country was in the midst of the Vietnam war. More recently, our community supported bond issues in 1976 and 2000 when park improvements were needed. Fiscal responsibility is just one of the Park District’s core values and one of the reasons why residents have historically supported our efforts. These efforts have always been based upon annual needs assessments that help us responsibly and progressively deliver programs and services to the great community of Arlington Heights. This has been happening since opening its’ doors in 1925 to a population of 2,300 residents and will continue well into the future.”

“The Park District’s fun, affordable and impactful programs give parents a peace of mind they won’t find elsewhere. Whether preschool programs, sports, dance, swimming, camps or anything in between; my wife and I know that our children are in a safe, engaging and caring environment with the Arlington Heights Park District.”

- Rob Nesvacil, Board member • There are safety and environmental issues at the four community centers affected including traffic parking, and accessibility issues. This master plan makes sure all buildings have safe and secure entrances, safe pedestrian and bus paths and are accessible to everyone.

Frequently asked Questions: Why is the Park District asking residents to pass a referendum to raise our taxes now?

“The Master Facilities improvement plan that this bond supports provides for new and flexible programming space that our residents have requested. The plans will accommodate adding new programs, expanding enrollment for existing programs, and allows us to update current facilities and parks at Heritage, Frontier, Camelot, Recreation and others in ways that will ensure patron safety and will address accessibility issues plaguing those facilities. The fact that we’re trying to leverage current building and construction costs and financing options available today makes this a very attractive plan for our community. We look forward to a continued dialogue with the community.”

Resident Registration begins December 8 at 10 am

Program guide delivery 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 through Summer 2012.

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.

Guide Spring 2012 Summer 2012

Delivery Date (Saturdays) January 28, 2012 April 21, 2012

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

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.

Help us recognize our most outstanding employees!

A employee excels in one or more of the following areas: • Customer Satisfaction - striving to continually meet and exceed customers’ expectations.

• Leadership - taking initiative in all aspects of our jobs, and mentoring staff to help them reach their full potential.

• Attitude - embracing a positive, professional, and helpful presence at all times.

• Service - treating every customer respectfully and competently, and putting the utmost value on meeting the needs of both our external and internal customers.

• Safety - approaching all aspects of our work in a safe and sensible manner.

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.

Conditions are never safe, regardless of extremely cold weather.

The constant flow of water in these lakes does not allow them to freeze solid enough for skaters. No sledding near ice rinks.

Park District personnel begin flooding these rinks during the first prolonged cold spell (22 degrees or below for four to five days) after December 15. The rinks need to be flooded for a period of at least four consecutive days of temperatures of 22 degrees or below before they are ready for skating.

Why do park crews stop making ice on February 15 each year?

Even on the coldest of winter days after February 15, the sun’s warm rays begin melting the darker colored ice. As the days get longer, the sun’s angle becomes more direct and much warmer.

Ice made during the overnight hours begins a slow and gradual meltdown and ice cannot be sustained.

Hockey rinks are most vulnerable to this melting because the dasher boards along the perimeter absorb a great deal of the sun’s warmth. The sun warms the dasher boards and they radiate that warmth back to adjacent ground melting the ice adjacent to the boards. This heat build-up also prevents new layers of ice from forming adjacent to the boards.

Finally, nighttime temps in late February are not typically cold enough to support formation of multiple layers of ice. While most late February evenings are below freezing, ice making at temperatures just below freezing often requires several hours before the warm 55 degree water from the hydrants refreezes and forms a new layer of ice. Unable to make multiple ice layers nightly, ice-making efforts become futile.

If you have questions related to skating feel free to contact Brian Huckstadt, Director of Parks and Planning (847.577.3009) or Sue Gwinnup, Superintendent of Recreation (847.506.7870).

INTERESTED

IN A JOB?

Interested in a job at the

pools for the Summer of 2012?

We begin developing staff for the summer pool season in October 2011. Almost 400 part-time staff work in the aquatics department over the summer. From October through December we recruit from the previous summer staff. We'll be accepting applications for the summer of 2012 after January 1, 2012. Positions include lifeguard, swim instructor, concession attendant, and cashier. Each pool has a maximum number of staff that can be employed for each position.

Olympic

Depending on how many staff return from the previous summer, there may not be openings for specific jobs at the individual pools.

To fill out a job application visit our web site at ahpd.org and click on JOBS and then click on ON LINE JOB APPLICATION. You can now fill out and submit your application online. Last year we stopped taking applications for new aquatic employees by mid-February because we had too many applicants.

Those interested in becoming a lifeguard have to participate in a screening process. The purpose of the screening is to give you an opportunity to see what the job is about and to see if you have the physical skills and endurance necessary to be a successful lifeguard.

There will be several off these screening classes offered in winter and spring of 2012. To summarize, those interested in being a new lifeguard have to apply, register for a screening in either the winter or spring, and then take the lifeguard training class in May or June of 2012. During May and early June there are several required job trainings that all staff must attend.

During May and early June there are several required job trainings that all staff must attend.

All of the positions have an age cut off: To enroll in a lifeguard class you must be 15 years old by the last day of the class.

To work as a swim instructor you must be 15 years old by June 1, 2012.

To work as a cashier or concession attendant you must be 16 years old by June 1, 2012.

For questions regarding job availability at specific pools, please call the facility directly and speak with the supervisor. For specific questions regarding lifeguard training, please call Steve Neill at 847.590.6059.

Do you want to be a lifeguard?

Are you thinking about being a lifeguard for the Arlington Heights Park District for the summer of 2012? If the answer is yes, then you must follow these steps.

First, you need to fill out a job application.

Applications can be filled on the web at ahpd.org.

You can submit the job application after January 1, 2012.

By using the e-mail address you provide on your job application, we will send you information about enrolling in a lifeguard screening.

Second, you must enroll in a free lifeguard screening session.

During the lifeguard screening your swimming skills will be tested, you will get a good idea of what it takes to be a lifeguard, and you will have an opportunity to meet with all the swimming pool supervisors.

To pass the screening you must be able to: Swim 200 yards using a front crawl or breast stroke. Two hundred yards is 8 lengths of Olympic’s lap pool.

• You must also retrieve a 10 pound dive brick from 12 feet of water.

• Then tread water holding that brick for one minute.

• Finally, you must be able to tread water for two minutes using only your legs.

If you can perform these four skills, you have the physical strength and endurance to be successful in the class. A lifeguard screening will last up to 2 hours, depending on the enrollment.

Upon successful completion of a lifeguard screening, you will receive registration information for the new lifeguard training class.

• You must attend all the dates and times of the new lifeguard class you want to take.

• Unfortunately due to the nature of the material taught, every class learns at a different pace, therefore you can only take one of the classes. You cannot mix and match the three classes.

• You must be 15 years old by the last day of your new lifeguard class.

• Cost of the new lifeguard training class is $115.

The Arlington Heights Park District uses Ellis and Associates lifeguard training.

There will be three new lifeguard training classes offered for the 2012 summer.

• The first new lifeguard class will be May 19, 20, 26, and 27 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

• The second new lifeguard class will be June 5, 6, 7, and 8 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

• The final new lifeguard class will be June 12, 13, 14, and 15 from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

At some point during the hiring process we may have to stop taking applications for specific parks if we reach our desired number of lifeguards. There is no way to predict when this may happen. Last year we stopped taking applications for new lifeguards at all locations by mid-February. Our best advice is to fill out the job application as soon as you can. If a position at the pool you desire most is not available, you will have the option of working at another pool.

To summarize the process to become a lifeguard at the Arlington Heights Park District you must: • First, fill out and submit a job application after January 1, 2012.

• Second, you must enroll, attend and successfully pass a lifeguard screening.

• Third, you attend all the sessions of a new lifeguard class and pass the class.

Please keep in mind that in order to actually be hired as a lifeguard you must pass the screening process and pass the new lifeguard training class. You cannot be hired as a lifeguard until you actually pass the class and get certified as a lifeguard. If you have any questions about this process, please call Steve Neill at 847.590.6059 or email at sjneill@ahpd.org.

The final step to become a lifeguard is for you to pass the lifeguard training class.

Swim Lesson Parent Information Winter Session Dates: Weekday: Monday, January 9 - Thursday, February 23 Saturday: January 7 - February 25 (No class on Saturday, January 21) Sunday: January 8 - February 19

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 any 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 online at ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm.

olympic

Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, Swim School II, Semi-Private Lessons, and Private Lessons. 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.

Every child is different. Please do not compare your child’s experience in swim lessons to another. Children learn differently.

The obtain their coordination at different ages. They obtain the concept of getting better or practicing at different ages. There are times when a child may not advance for a while due to circumstances out of our and your child’s control. When this happens it can be discouraging for your child. There are times when your child may need to take a break from swim lessons for a session. If that happens, rest assured, we will still be here ready and willing to welcome you back and get you swimming again.

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.

Private Swim Lessons (3+)

Semi-Private Swim School (3+) This program is a blend of private swim lessons and our Swim School program. Instructor to student ratio is 2 to 1. The minimum age has been lowered to 3 years old. Classes will last a half hour. Classes will be taught using our Swim School lesson plans. Classes are limited to 16 students. Be aware that the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. Unfortunately there are no make-ups for missed classes. No class 1/21.

Diving (5-12 yrs) Our diving program is designed to promote safety and a basic introduction to diving. There are two levels - beginner and intermediate. To enroll in intermediate, you must have completed at least one session of beginner and be granted instructor approval. Divers are given specific goals that will help their skill development. Divers are encouraged to attempt new dives and explore the possibilities of what they can learn. The ratio is one instructor per five students. Beginning divers must be able to swim 15 yards. The three-step approach, front, back, and twist dives are taught at the beginning level. Intermediate students will be introduced to new challenges such as flip and twist combinations. As students progress and gain skills, our instructor will continue to present new challenges. No class 1/21. (SN) R/NR Fee: $58/$87.50 Classes: 7 Class Level Day(s) Time Date 4032-6 Int.

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 online? 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. No class 1/21.

Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. 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.

The Academy Program

Forest View is proud 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 Academy Program is designed for juniors actively involved in competitive tennis. Forest View membership is a requirement for this program. Placement is by pro staff recommendation.

preschool

Preschool building blocks 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. The teachers provide a sensitive and safe learning environment while helping the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.

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 number 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, 2011; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2011. Proof of age is required at the time of registration.

Preschool Classes The philosophy of the preschool program is to allow the children to learn through play, as they grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our preschool program provides a sensitive and safe learning environment. Our goals are to encourage children to work, play, and share with each other, to develop new interests, enhance creative abilities, learn problem-solving skills, be able to follow directions and establish selfdirection.

THE DRIVE TO REVIVE MEMORIAL PARK

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington Heights exclusively dedicated to veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, each year this site serves as a gathering point for the community to pay tribute to veterans from all the branches of the armed services in a solemn ceremony at the closing of the Memorial Day Parade. Committed to honoring the sacrifices of Civil War veterans, Dr. John Best, a Civil War veteran himself, donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” in 1883 to serve as a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new AHPD and the new “Memorial Park” was dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history. Working with the Park District since 2006 to rebuild Memorial Park, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee and other organizations developed a beautiful new design and the park now features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington Heights veterans have served; and commemorative bricks to honor individual veterans. To date, over 300 individual veterans are honored at Memorial Park.By purchasing a Commemorative Brick in the Central Plaza of Memorial Park you may honor any veteran from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war).

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.

Join us at the Tree Lighting ceremony as we kick-off the Village of Arlington Heights’ Quasquicentennial The Village of Arlington Heights’ Quasquicentennial (125th anniversary) kicks off at the annual Tree Lighting ceremony which will be held on Friday, November 25th at North School Park at 4:45 pm.

The Tree Lighting ceremony provides the perfect back-drop to promote celebration and a sense of community as we look forward to Arlington Heights’ Quasquicentennial that will be recognized throughout 2012.

The Quasquicentennial theme: Honor the Past.

Celebrate the Present. Explore the Future sums up the significance of Arlington Heights’ 125 years.

To commemorate the Quasquicentennial, several keepsake items will be for sale for those who are proud to have been a part of Arlington Heights’ great history, or a part of its present and future! One item for sale is the 2012 Calendar that includes unique pictures, blending current and old Arlington Heights, like the one you see here. The actual Quasquicentennial anniversary of our incorporation as ArlingtonHeights is January 18, 2012.

Stay updated on other activities held throughout the community recognizing Arlington Heights’ Quasquicentennial by visiting arlingtonheights125.com or like us at facebook.com/arlingtonheights125.

The picture above is of the Arlington Heights Park District Administration Center, formerly North School, blended with a photo of 1949 Arlington High School students boarding buses.
