Dear Neighbors, As the leaves begin to turn and a crisp breeze fills the air, we’re excited to welcome you to another vibrant fall season with the Deerfield Park District. This time of year brings a full calendar of engaging programs, special events, and recreational opportunities for all ages—from festive family activities and youth athletics to enriching adult classes and community traditions. Whether you're returning to a favorite program or trying something new, we invite you to make the most of all the ways to stay active, connected, and inspired this season. Get a sneak peek at the exciting programs and events coming your way this fall!

As the season shifts and we move indoors, the Sachs Recreation Center is the perfect place to stay active and energized. Explore a wide range of fitness and wellness opportunities including personal training, group exercise classes, and our expansive 7,500-squarefoot fitness floor featuring cardio, strength, and functional fitness equipment, plus a dedicated stretching area.

This fall brings a fantastic lineup of special events—both new and returning favorites! Enjoy Spooky Ceramics, Night Scare on Elm Street, the Doggy Day Parade: Halloween Edition, and the beloved Halloween Hoopla Family Fun Fest in October. November highlights include the Pop Star Dance Party at the Patty Turner Center, a throwback Trivia Night celebrating the ’70s through the ’90s, and our first-ever Field of Honor tribute event. From November 7th to November 11th, 2025, a stunning panorama of United States flags will be displayed at Jewett Park. This solemn formation of flags serves as a patriotic tribute to honor our heroes and will unite the community. Each U.S. flag represents an individual and carries a unique story. Flags can be sponsored to honor specific individuals, making this event a meaningful opportunity for us all to pay tribute to our many heroes. This experience is difficult to put into words, yet it will leave a lasting impression. We invite everyone to visit 2 | DeerfieldParks.org

the Deerfield, IL Field of Honor display and walk among the flags.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Midwest Veterans’ Closet and the Lake County Honor Flight.

Finally in December you won’t want to miss our annual Noon Years Eve event at Sachs Recreation Center.

As we embrace the beauty of the fall season, we hope you'll take full advantage of the many opportunities to connect, celebrate, and thrive with the Deerfield Park District. Whether you're creating memories with loved ones at a community event, focusing on your wellness goals, or discovering a new hobby, there’s something here for everyone. We look forward to sharing this season with you and can’t wait to see you out and about in our parks, programs, and events. Here's to a fall filled with fun, friendship, and meaningful moments!

Stay Safe & Well,

VOLUNTEER COACHES

Volunteer coaches’ staff all our youth basketball league teams. You must be 18 years old or older to coach. The basketball program is one that 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.

You have a unique opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life.

For every player, the coach is the single most important adult leader.

Effective coaches fully support a positive youth sports philosophy in their attitude and behavior at practice, games and events. You will 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.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer coach, we need you to fill out a Coach Application. You may download the application here or, pick one up at the registration desk at Jewett Park Community Center, 836 Jewett Park Drive.

COHO Age Group Programs

Our Developmental Program (Minnows, Chinook, and Sharks) is designed to bridge the gap between swim lessons and competitive swimming. This program focuses on introductory concepts in streamlining, posture, bodyline, balance, breathing, and improving body awareness in the water. Emphasis is placed on learning basic competitive skills, developing positive self-esteem, making friends, and having fun!

Within our Age Group Program, we offer 4 competitive levels for swimmers ages 7-14. Our competitive levels (White, Blue, Red, and Black) are designed to build on the basic elements of competitive swimming teaching swimmers goal setting, advanced stroke technique and racing strategies. Swimmers will have requirements to move up within this structure that mix attendance, test sets, and achievement at swim meets.

GENERAL WAIVER & RELEASE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Deerfield Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Deerfield Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for this program/activity must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way, or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

WARNING OF RISK

Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to acts of God, inclement weather, slipping, falling, equipment failure, in supervision, premises defects and all other circumstances inherent to recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Deerfield Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in this program/ activity, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with this program/activity (including transportation services, when provided). I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in this program/activity, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. In the event of an emergency, I authorize District officials to secure from any licensed hospital physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for me or my minor child’s immediate care. Participants and parents/guardians of minor participants are solely responsible for any and all expenses associated with emergency medical treatment, including but not limited to, transportation services to the nearest available medical facility/provider or to an alternative medical facility/provider requested by the participant or parent/guardian. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in this program/activity against the Deerfield Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers, and employees (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Deerfield Park District”). I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the Deerfield Park District from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that my minor child/ ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward, arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with this program/activity.

I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims.

If registering a minor participant, I further attest that I have read the above to my minor child/ward.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION ONLINE REGISTRATION

You may register online for most activities. Web registration is quick and convenient. You can view real time availability and save time!

First time registering online?

Please scan or click for information on how to create a Household Account. Please note: some classes/camps have a numerical "grade" requirement. (Preschoolers are .25 and Kindergartners are .5.) If your child does not have a grade or has the incorrect grade listed in your household account, please contact the Registration Desk 847-945-0650 and they will be happy to make the correction/addition.

WAITLIST

If you select a class and it’s full, you will be put on a waitlist. We will notify you of all class placements, cancellations, and/or changes.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR RESIDENTS

Scan to Register Online

Who is eligible?

Any household with a valid email address is eligible to register online.

For Deerfield Park District residents to receive resident rates, proof of residence is required.

What programs are available?

The majority of park district programs are available online, with a few exceptions. These are usually programs that require tryouts, prerequisites or prior instructor approval.

Will I know right away if I get in?

Yes. Online registration works in real time, so, as soon as you complete the payment process and get a confirmation email your enrollment is confirmed. If a class is full, you may join the wait list online.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION

PLEASE REGISTER EARLY. If enough participants are not registered, classes may be canceled. Those waiting until the last minute or for the first day of class may find it’s too late.

REGISTRATION FORMS

Registration forms can be downloaded from deerfieldparks.org/forms.

Forms are also available at any of our facilities.

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

Financial assistance may be available to assist Deerfield Park District residents who are experiencing difficulty paying program fees. For more information call 847-945-0650.

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.

PROOF OF RESIDENCY

To receive “Resident” rates and priority in registration, you are required to show proof of residency your first time enrolling for a Deerfield Park District program or activity. Once your household has done this you will not need to repeat the process. This procedure ensures district residents receive priority in enrolling for high-demand activities, and discounted prices. A Deerfield mailing address does not guarantee park district Resident status — this is based on property tax boundaries.

• Print legibly in ink.

REGISTRATION STEPS

Proof of Residency includes BOTH: • A current residential utility bill (gas, electric, or water, no phone bills are accepted) with your name stating your mailing address and service address as being the same.

• Read the registration form carefully and fill it out completely, including class names, activity code numbers and sections.

• A valid driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification containing your current address.

• Once a registration form is turned in, it cannot be changed.

Documentation may be: • Securely uploaded to the Registration website (after your online account has been activated).

• When registering, provide details about medical condition(s) that require staff attention.

• If you fax in your form, please do not send a duplicate by mail.

• Payment may be made by check or Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit cards. If paying by credit card, make sure the card number, expiration date and cardholder’s signature are completed and legible on the registration form.

• Do not use cash if you drop off registrations in the drop-off box.

• An adult participant, parent or guardian must sign the waiver on the bottom of the registration form. It is mutually understood that the fax registration document, including the waiver and release of all claims, shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as the original form.

IMPROPER REGISTRATION

Those who register for our programs and improperly use a Deerfield address are removed from the class and no refund or transfer fee is provided. Non-residents pay a higher fee per program. Non-resident fees are shown second in program descriptions. Note: Non-residents are not eligible for resident fees even if their caretaker, provider or relative resides in Deerfield.

Deerfield Park District | Fall 2025

REGISTRATION INFORMATION CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCHOLARSHIPS

Voluntary contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation for our Scholarship Fund can be made on the registration form. The fund is used for people who are in serious financial need, to participate in park district programs. The Board of Park Commissioners has a policy that no person will be denied access to recreation programs or facilities because of an inability to pay fees. Please know that the program is strictly confidential and is closely monitored by the Director of Recreation. We appreciate your support.

REFUNDS FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS

• A refund may be obtained seven business days prior to the first day of a program. A 10% service charge ($10 minimum) will be deducted from the amount paid for the program. If the refund is requested less than seven business days prior to the class start date it can only be credited to the household account less the 10% service charge ($10 minimum).

• Refunds requested on or after the program start date will not be honored.

• Refunds will not be issued for one day programs, workshops, special events, school’s out trips or theater tickets.

• If a program is rescheduled, relocated, or changed by the park district, a full refund will be issued if requested by the participant.

• Refunds will be issued if a program is canceled or closed by the park district.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

78 | DeerfieldParks.org

PARTICIPANT CONDUCT

The following conduct code rules apply to both participants and guardians/caregivers of those children. 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 marketing@deerfieldparks.org.

Deerfield Park District | Fall 2025

GENERAL INFORMATION 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.

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.

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 Dana Bundy, JPCC Manager at 847-572-2624.

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.
