BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

Dear Neighbors,

We want to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of Jeff Nehila, who has served as the Executive Director of the Deerfield Park District since December 12, 2016. Jeff retired from the Deerfield Park District on June 2, 2023.During his tenure, Jeff's dedication, leadership, and expertise have significantly advanced our operations and services. He has led us to receive prestigious recognition, including being named a National Recreation and Parks Association Gold Medal Finalist twice and an Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency. Under Jeff's guidance, we have successfully completed various construction and renovation projects, enhancing our facilities for your enjoyment. Notably, he secured a grant for the Jewett Park 2.0 project and oversaw the construction of six outdoor pickleball courts at Shepard Park.

Jeff's leadership during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic has been instrumental in maintaining our services. His unwavering determination and proactive approach ensured the safety and well-being of our community.

As Jeff embarks on his well-deserved retirement, we extend our deepest gratitude for his 6.5 years of exemplary service and leadership. His impact will be remembered for years to come.

We are thrilled to introduce our new Executive Director, Jeff Harvey. Jeff joined the Deerfield Park District in the fall of 2018, initially serving as the Director of Finance. In his first four and a half years,

he accomplished significant milestones. Notably, under his financial leadership, the Deerfield Park District received its first Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting (COA) from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). The GFOA recognized our annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

With his extensive experience and unwavering dedication, Jeff is the perfect fit for this role. We have full confidence in his ability to lead our district with excellence and introduce innovative ideas to further enhance our community. We are excited for the new chapter under Jeff Harvey's leadership.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our park district activities. Together, we will continue to create a vibrant and inclusive environment for all.

Stay Safe & Be Well, Board of Commissioners

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN DEERFIELD!

MISSION STATEMENT

The Deerfield Park District strives to serve the Deerfield Community with outstanding parks, services, facilities and recreation programs that enrich lives, promote healthy living and inspire memorable experiences.

2022–2027 STRATEGIC PLAN STRATEGIES

JEWETT PARK COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATION

We have fantastic news to share with the Deerfield community! The Deerfield Park District has been selected as a recipient of the highly competitive FY2023 Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant program. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has approved a $600,000 grant for the completion of the Jewett Park 2.0 Renovation Project. This grant program received over $100 million in requests this year, making our selection even more exciting.

The Jewett Park 2.0 Renovation Project, which began in 2019, focuses on enhancing the northern half of the park with a range of exciting amenities. These additions will include a new playground, a concert pavilion, a challenge course, a family game area with a gaga pit, bocce court, baggo, and ping pong. Furthermore, we will create a natural area featuring native trees and pollinators, install a picnic shelter, a council ring, and incorporate interpretive signage. Improved accessibility throughout the park will also be a key feature.

1 Organizational Excellence

2 Service and Outreach

3 Go GREEN Environmental Stewardship

4 Park Enhancements

5 Facility Enhancements

We anticipate starting construction this fall, with the project set to be completed by the summer of 2024. This transformative endeavor will offer an enhanced and engaging park experience for the entire community.

We are also excited to announce that the lower level of the Jewett Park Community Center will be undergoing renovation beginning this fall. The renovation will include moving the registration office, currently located on the upper level, to the lower level. The lowerlevel entrance will lead to the registration office and become the main entrance to the building. In addition, the kitchen space will be converted into the new ceramics studio. The Maple and Willow rooms currently used for ceramics and music programs will be converted into one large programming space. We anticipate starting construction in October and completing by the end of March 2024.

Extend the Day Early Childhood Enrichment

Early childhood programs with the Extend the Day Play logo indicate that children in our Preschool can extend their day of learning. You do not have to be enrolled in Deerfield Park District Preschool to attend these classes. These classes are located in the Early Childhood, Theater and Dance sections of this guide.

Reading Rookies

Give your child the keys to reading success. This enrichment class uses thematic fun, multi-sensory instruction, games, crafts and stories to teach children in their last year of preschool how to build their letter and sound knowledge. Each weekly lesson focuses on 2-3 letters. The lessons will ignite your child’s reading interest, while improving your child’s ability to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds. By the end of the session, your child will have the building blocks to become a successful reader. Because Reading Rookies is built around multi-sensory lessons, regardless of your child’s learning style, your child will thrive, have fun and learn! Children must be entering kindergarten in Fall 2024. Section 02: Bring lunch and a water bottle.

Volunteer Coaches

Volunteer coaches staff our youth basketball league teams. The basketball program requires a lot of energy from a thoughtful, creative, concerned group of volunteer coaches comprised of parents and other adults who love sports and instructing children. Effective coaches fully support a positive youth sports philosophy in their attitude and behavior at practice, games and events. You help the players learn skills, discuss fair play and most of all, have fun. Look at coaching as an opportunity not only to teach sports skills, but also to achieve something far more significant –helping children reach their full potential.

Interested volunteer coaches, should fill out a Coach Application. Download the application from, deerfieldparks.org, or pick one up at the registration desk at 836 Jewett Park Drive.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR RESIDENTS

People who live within the boundaries of the Deerfield Park District always have first priority in our registration process. However, having a Deerfield address does not always mean that you are a resident of our Park District. Program brochures are typically sent to the 60015 zip code, but this can include areas that are not part of the Deerfield Park District.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Residents experiencing difficulty paying program fees should contact the Park District.

RESIDENT & SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT #109 AND #113 RATES

Resident rates will apply to those who live within the park district boundaries. If a participant does not live within the park district boundaries but enrolls in a program that is held at a District 109 or 113 school and they reside in that school district, then they pay the resident rate, but cannot begin to register until the non-resident registration date.

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide outstanding parks, services, facilities and recreation programs that enrich lives, promote healthy living and inspire memorable experiences.

PARK DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY

The Park Board recognizes the need to provide and maintain sufficient and attractive parks, open space, recreation facilities and programs to serve equitably, and without prejudice, all the people of the Park District in the provision of leisure time activities. Every opportunity shall be afforded, within financial limits, to plan, procure, develop and maintain park and recreation resources, and to provide leadership for the wholesome and constructive use of leisure time. The provisions of quality recreational services in the most efficient manner, at the least possible cost, and without significantly duplicating the efforts of other agencies, will be emphasized at all times. This includes the development of cooperative agreements with other agencies directly and indirectly involved with leisure services in the District.

The provision of recreation, park and conservation services must be considered as a positive opportunity for people of the District to share with each other, to develop leadership capacities, to learn skills for present and future enjoyment, and to emphasize responsibilities to each other as well as to the community.

KEEP OUR PARKS BEAUTIFUL

To provide safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing parks, we engage in the limited use of lawn care products as part of an integrated pest management program. A one-time annual application of herbicide to park and school sites is usually completed between Aug. 15 – Nov. 1 of each year. We publicize the date of the application and inform the appropriate school sites and residents who have asked to be advised of this process.

PARTICIPANT CONDUCT

The Deerfield Park District reserves the right to suspend, expel or deny participation in any program or facility to any person whose behavior materially interferes or disrupts the quality of those offerings, the enjoyment of them by other participants or the ability of staff to conduct or manage the activities or facilities.

A child’s parent or guardian will be notified of the first incident; the second incident shall require the presence of a parent at a meeting with the instructor and a Park District administrator/supervisor; a third incident may result in the expulsion or suspension of the child from the program, event or facility.

If a child engages in behavior(s) which may result in bodily harm to others, an immediate meeting with the parent may be called. If such behavior warrants it, immediate suspension or expulsion may result. Temporary suspension from participation due to misconduct will not entitle participant to a refund.

An adult shall receive one verbal or written warning. The second incident may result in suspension from the program, event or facility. If an adult physically strikes a person or object or throws an object at another person, or takes any other action that may pose a real threat of bodily harm to others, or is verbally abusive to others, s/he may immediately be suspended or expelled from the program or facility.

PHOTO PERMISSION

Our staff or designees often take pictures or video at programs and events. Photographers from print or other media outlets may also take pictures or video on occasion. We welcome the coverage and hope you do too; it is frequently how the public learns what is happening at the Park District. If you prefer your family members’ pictures not be taken, please notify us in writing. NOTE: If you do see a photo posted to our websites or social media pages of you or your family member that you would like removed, please email Skylar@deerfieldparks.org

INSURANCE

Deerfield Park District cannot assume responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs, activities, parks and facilities within our jurisdiction. To do so would make our program and user fees prohibitive. Certain activities, facilities and equipment may, when used improperly, cause harm or personal injury. We make every effort to notify you of potentially dangerous situations and to provide rules for the proper use of equipment and facilities. You can avoid injury by following the rules, using good sense and being considerate of both Park District property and others using it.

EMERGENCY CLOSING

There may be times when weather, road conditions or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled, or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. The park district will communicate to patrons via the park district website deerfieldparks.org. Whenever School District 109 cancels school due to snow related weather conditions, all Deerfield Park District Preschool classes and all programs held at school sites will also be canceled. Closing other park district facilities or canceling classes will be made on a case by case basis.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Please respect the rights and property of neighbors of our parks. Use public sidewalks/pathways. Drive carefully in lots, driveways and nearby streets. Trees, bushes, fences, etc., should not be used as bathrooms. Keep your dog on a leash, remain on public property, clean up pet waste, and place trash in park receptacles. To report vandalism, call the Deerfield Police Non-emergency line, 847-945-8636

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

Our Park District and other public agencies are subject to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination in the services, programs or facilities provided to individuals with disabilities. If you believe that, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, special assistance may be required when participating in a program, using a facility or receiving a service, please call Laura McCarty, Director of Recreation at 847-572-2615

THORGUARD

ThorGuard Lightning Prediction Systems are installed at all parks, pools and schools in Deerfield, from April through November. Horns are tested the first Tuesday of each of these months, at 10 AM. Should you hear the horn or see the strobe light at other times—or any time lightning seems possible—be sure to seek shelter. The system is meant to warn the public that conditions are right for possible lightning danger. This system is not 100 percent accurate, as it operates on radio waves which are variable. As not every unit will go off simultaneously, the public is asked to please use common sense when conditions appear threatening, even if ThorGuard warnings are not heard or seen.

Follow these warnings for safety:

• One prolonged horn blast signifies a strong lightning risk.

• The strobe light signals a continuing lightning alert condition.

• Three short horn blasts (and ceasing of strobe light illumination) signal it may be safe to return to the area, but use discretion.

GENERAL INFORMATION

INFECTIOUS DISEASES, FOOD ALLERGIES, MEDICATION, ILLNESS

Infectious Diseases: To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, such as strep, pink eye and fifth’s disease, parents should report any diagnosed cases to the Park District office. If exposure to other participants occurred, a notification is sent home.

Food Allergies: Many of our preschool, as well as cooking and other classes, will serve food; therefore, it is imperative that you notify the full-time Recreation Supervisor of any food allergies or dietary restrictions your child may have.

Medication: If your child requires medication (inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) during class, medication administration forms must be completed. Please call our registration office (847-945-0650) for details.

Illness: Please do not attend class nor send children who are ill to class.
