Park District Boundaries

When determining the fees for a particular class, you must first determine whether you are “in-district” or “out-of-district.” In-district residents are those who reside within the Barrington Park District boundaries and who pay taxes to the Barrington Park District. All others are out of district. Important: not all Village of Barrington residents are within the Barrington Park District boundaries and therefore require the out-of-district rates. Please see the neighborhood lists (right) and check your tax statement to determine your residency status.

We’re proud to say the fun doesn’t stop there. Pickleball and paddle tennis courts are now open and ready for action! We also would like to introduce our charming new Courtside Cottage, a private rental space complete with restrooms right next to the courts - the perfect setting for your next small gathering.

Find more information about these fun happenings on pages 5 - 13.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Park Foreman Balta Diaz on his retirement after 38 incredible years with the Barrington Park District.

CHRISTINA PATTRAS is eager to be a new part of the Barrington Park District as a Dance Instructor!

She has previously taught dance at another park district but is beyond excited to bring her love of dance to Barrington. While she finds beauty in every style, she has a soft spot for both poms and hip-hop. Being part of the Poms Team in school was one of her top dance memories, and hip-hop was the style that got her truly invested in the art of dance!

Led by Certified Personal Trainer & Sports Nutrition Coach, Connor

Confused about what and how much to eat? Join Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutrition Coach Connor for Dieting Made Easy, a practical and informative nutrition workshop designed to take the guesswork out of eating for your goals. Whether you’re looking to build muscle, lose visceral fat or simply fuel your body more effectively, you’ll walk away with the tools you need to succeed.

You’ll learn how to calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and daily calorie needs based on your activity level.

Reset and Relax: An Evening of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra

Presented by instructors Julie and Karen!

Take a break from the demands of daily life and join yoga instructors Julie and Karen for an evening dedicated to deep relaxation and renewal. This special session begins with Restorative Yoga, a restful practice that emphasizes stillness and gentle, passive stretching. Using props such as blankets, blocks and bolsters, your body will be fully supported as you ease into each pose, allowing the muscles to relax, the heart rate to slow and the nervous system to shift into a state of calm. This soothing experience is ideal for balancing the intensity of busy lifestyles and promoting physical and mental healing.

Following the restorative portion, the class will transition into Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation often called “Yogic Sleep.” While resting comfortably - feel free to bring your favorite blanket from home - you’ll be led through a sequence of verbal cues designed to bring conscious awareness to each part of the body. This ancient practice helps release stress and tension, offering profound rest and clarity. Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle for a FREE gift! (Min/Max: 6/23).

Reality-Based Self-Defense for Teens & Adults

AGES: 16 YEARS AND UP

Have you ever worried what you would do if you were the target of criminal violence? Could you protect yourself or the ones you love? If the above questions have ever been a concern, you will find both the skills and understanding with this training!

This program is tailored to busy individuals that do not have time to commit to formal marital arts training. It is a reality-based self-defense system blended with the sciences of anatomy and sports physiology.

All training is done with the following assumptions:

• Your attacker(s) are bigger, stronger or have weapons.

• You are already being attacked (and your options to get away are gone).

It is a simple, safe and devastatingly effective program using intuitive movements that anyone can do regardless of physical ability. It is slow paced with minimal stress. Students will learn to accurately target vulnerable structures and areas of the human body, build mental sight pictures and muscle memory – all with the goal to recall and use when it’s most needed.

No prior martial arts training is required.

This class is taught by Sensei Michael Christesen with over 30 years of martial arts instruction that includes Shotokan Karate, Jeet Kune Do, Japanese Jujitsu and Reality Based Self-Defense.

HEAD COACHES ALWAYS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!

As our programs grow, so does our need for coaches. The more coaches we have, the more teams can be formed and the more each individual child can participate!

Job Description: The coach should be a sincere, caring individual who can share a few hours a week for practices and games. He/she should also have some knowledge of the sport, serve as a positive role model who encourages good sportsmanship, be safety conscious, have patience and enthusiasm, and most of all, make sure everyone is having a great time!

Benefits: Is there any better feeling than knowing that you will be rewarded throughout the season as the kids learn from you as well as spending time with your child and being a positive influence on your whole team? If that isn’t enough, each head coach will receive a team plaque.

Youth League Coaches’ Meeting: All volunteers will be required to attend a coaches’ meeting on 11/18, where we will give you some guidelines and an informational packet that will help you while coaching your Park District team.

To Volunteer: Fill out a Coaching Application form available at the Fitness and Recreation Center front desk, or online at www.barringtonparkdistrict.org. If you have any questions, please contact Kent Hengels at (847) 304-5273 or khengels@barringtonparkdistrict.org.

The Barrington Park District offers a variety of Challenge Programs designed to meet the needs of a wide diversity of groups. All of our programs are designed to bring together or strengthen your group, and are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. We believe that participants absorb more when they are physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally involved in the learning process. Our trained facilitators engage groups in activities that allow the participants to take ownership of their learning. Each program allows time for the participants to discuss the experience and relate the learning outcomes back to “real world” situations.

Teams Challenge Course: A variety of problem-based initiatives awaits the team as they are given challenges that might use ropes, cables, platforms, boards or a 12-foot wall. All challenges require teamwork from every member in order to accomplish the goal. Individual strengths are highlighted and the small group size allows for participation by everyone. These challenges take place on or near the ground and require focus, cooperation and trust. Over 20 stations are spread throughout the wooded trails.

Cooperative Games: Learn team-building skills while playing fun, active games. Cooperation, communication, strategy and good sportsmanship are stressed. Great for younger-aged groups!
