Dear Itasca Park District Patrons, Happy Birthday Itasca Park District!

On July 25th, 1964 the Itasca Park District came to be. The referendum had 652 ballots, 479 for and 161 against.

12 resident candidates ran for the 5 board positions.

The results were: Victor Dixon-President Floyd Christensen-Vice President Maryann J. Niedert-Secretary Donald Oberg-Treasurer Kenneth A. Irons-Commissioner On September 8th, 1964 the first board meeting took place at the Village Hall.

In 1966 Washington Park became the first park. In August 1970 the first building was the “Walter A. Schmidt Park and Recreation Building.�

A $400,000 referendum to build a swimming pool passed on September 19th, 1970 by a vote of 675 to 320. The pool opened on May 27th, 1973.

What a difference 50 years can make. We now own 55 acres of land, have 8 park sites, have built and remodeled the Itasca Recreation & Fitness Center, own and operate the Historical Depot Museum, have an award winning Waterpark, a softball complex, maintenance facility, the Ray Franzen Bird Sanctuary, an

agreement for use of Hamilton soccer fields, and operate the Springbrook Nature Center.

In 2003 and 2009 IPD won the National Gold Medal for Excellence in Parks and Recreation. That is the highest award given to park districts in the nation.

All of these accomplishments have come under only 4 Executive Directors that have taken the district to where it is today. Our current Executive Director, Maryfran Leno, is continuously looking for ways to improve our facilities, programming, partnerships, parks, and offerings to our residents and patrons. There is always something in the works.

Everyone is invited to partake in the celebration of our 50th birthday on July 25th at the Waterpark. So put on your party hats and get ready to eat cake!

Swim Lessons The program offers a curriculum that encourages participants to succeed and develop skills. Swim lessons provide an enjoyable learning experience, teach participants how to be safe in and around the water, and give them a lifelong skill that every person should know. Check each level to choose the correct placement for your swimmer. Instructors reserve the right to place the participant in the class best suited to his or her ability.

Additionally, it is not uncommon for participants to spend more than one session in a certain level; please remember this when registering your child for multiple sessions. (AR)

Drop-Off Guidelines Parents should bring their child to the pool deck and remain with him/her until the instructor has arrived. Once their child is with his/her teacher, parents should proceed to the designated viewing space which is located in the concession area or up on the ramp. The last day of class, parents are able to view the class on the deck to see what their child has learned. Thank you for your cooperation.

Choose from one of the following: ■ Treasure Hunting for Geodes $215 Want to have the coolest birthday party in town? Join us as we search for a geode, an ordinary-looking rock which, when split apart, reveals a gem-like treasure of sparkling quartz hidden inside. Experience the mystery of holding a million-year-old fossil in the palm of your hand as you learn how they are formed. Each child will make their own fossil and will receive their own unique geode.

■ Creek Walk $175 Splash around as you have the unique opportunity to use nets and buckets to explore the life in the creek. Catch fish, crayfish, tadpoles and more? End the creek walk with a fun craft.

■ Astounding Animals $175 Springbrook has its very own team of superheroes; animals with amazing abilities that any X-Man would envy. Be ready to have a super time as we play games, meet live animals, and make a craft to take home.

■ Bug Safari $175 We will journey forth into the wilds of the prairie in search of creatures with 6, 8, 10, 100 legs or more! Go where no one has gone before… under leaves and over logs, exploring for these elusive creatures.

Troop leaders, we offer fun and educational Boy & Girl Scout classes throughout the year at Springbrook.

Classes are for established Troops.
