Commissioner’s Update
The Elk Grove Park District has earned the Illinois Association of Park District and Illinois Parks and Recreation Association’s prestigious honor of Distinguished Accreditation, an award which has been given to only 45 out of 390 agencies in the past five years. This voluntary and comprehensive evaluation process, which aims to improve the delivery of recreation services and the quality of life for Illinois residents, involved a review of all organizational departments, including Business Services, Marketing, Parks and Planning, and Leisure Services. These core areas provided documentation demonstrating successful planning, implementation of policies, practices, processes and projects to meet the program's standards.
The Park District Board of Commissioners expresses great pride in this significant accomplishment and extends gratitude to the staff, volunteers and patrons for their instrumental roles in achieving this special recognition. To commemorate the award, plaques will be prominently displayed at the Pavilion, the Administration Building, and the Al Hattendorf Center.

Blackhawk Leader and Legacy
Of the local histories written for communities in northeastern Illinois, only some of them begin with any information before the last quarter or so of the nineteenth century. For those that do, they almost universally begin by saying that the Blackhawk War happened and then the first settlers came. But what actually happened during the Blackhawk War?
Who was Blackhawk? And what about the Blackhawk statue? Join Curator, Jonathan Sebastian, for an exploration of the early history of this region in seeking answers to these questions.

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. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers, and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Elk Grove Park District to guarantee absolute safety. A Waiver and Release of All Claims Form must be signed when registering yourself or your minor child for Elk Grove Park District programs.
Accident Insurance
The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants. Participants should review their personal insurance before registering for Park District programs to be certain of adequate coverage.
