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.

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.

The goal of this program is to prepare team members for competitive situations that they will face in IJGA events, and eventually on their high school team. Our travel teams meet for practice two times per week throughout the season. Each practice will focus on skill development through a series of competitive drills and exercises led by our professional staff. Participants in this class MUST have experience playing and keeping score. Members of our travel team are encouraged to play and practice on their own in addition to scheduled practices and matches. In addition to the two weekly team practices, our players will compete in a series of nine-hole matches as part of the North Shore Junior Golf Tour. These matches will occur at Deerfield golf club and at other local north shore clubs. Matches will take place on Saturdays for the fall and spring seasons, and on Mondays for the summer season. Team members will receive a team golf shirt or hat. Summer session has a vacation friendly option. Tournament round greens fees of $25 per player/per tournament not included.

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.

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.
