General Information

Dear Itasca Park District Residents and Patrons, This year the Village of Itasca is celebrating its 125 anniversary.

Congratulations to Itasca!

Each taxing body provides services, protection, education, resources, recreation, opportunities and assistance for the taxpayers.

My husband Jeff has always called Itasca “The end of the rainbow.�

If you look at what makes a rainbow you will see 6 bands of color that united become the beautiful sight that it is.

From the Memorial Day Parade to Santa visiting the Itasca Community Library in December the Village of Itasca will be celebrating the 125th anniversary.

Have you ever not stopped and marveled at the sight of a rainbow?

On August 30th the official celebration will take place at the village hall complex.

Without one of the bands you do not have a rainbow. Each band supports the others.

The taxing bodies of Itasca, the Village, Fire District, School District, Community Library, Park District AND the residents and patrons make up the 6 bands that become the rainbow. The intergovernmental cooperation is what makes Itasca the outstanding community that it is. They work together for the benefit of the residents and patrons of Itasca and the residents of Wood Dale that live in our school district and park district.

Sign up for text or email alerts for the latest news on individual programs including Waterpark, Athletics, Dance, Teens and more.

Visit: www.itascaparkdistrict.com/notifyme and select from the News Flash list.

Take advantage of the numerous events and activities this year. It will be a great year for celebrating Itasca!

Spirit of Chicago Lunch Cruise

A Day at the Races

Join the Senior Club as we travel downtown for a relaxing afternoon on the Spirit of Chicago. Enjoy an excellent buffet lunch and listen to the music and entertainment. If the entertainment isn’t for you, head out onto the deck and bask in the sun and the breeze with a cool drink. The boat is docked right at the beginning of the pier, so there will be minimal walking to and from the bus. Trip includes coach bus transportation, buffet lunch with entertainment and a Lake Michigan Cruise. (KM) AGES: 60+yrs

Are you feeling lucky? The Itasca Seniors are heading to the Arlington Park Race Track for the day. The $10 fee is only for individuals who are not members of the Senior Club to cover transportation costs. Senior Club members are free, but must sign up at the monthly luncheons or at the park district to receive the discount. Online registration will not discount the fee.

The Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, IL are something you have to see to believe. The beautiful pictures don't do this northern Illinois gem justice. Each rock, tree and path has been carefully and thoughtfully placed to create a graceful, elegant, and gentle atmosphere that exemplifies the Japanese cultural heritage of respectful humility.

We will enjoy a boxed lunch at the visitor's center and then set off on a guided tour of the grounds. The paths are mostly made of crushed limestone, so wheelchairs are welcomed on this tour, however, there is a bit of walking required. (KM)

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.

Camp staff will not be responsible for lost or stolen money, and campers who do not have a concession card will not be permitted to go to concession during pool time. All concession cards will be returned to you to use for the rest of the pool season.

What Animals Eat

Dissecting Owl Pellets

What do bobcats, deer, hedgehogs and other animals eat? Animals can be categorized by their diet! Learn about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores through pictures, animal artifacts, and enjoy creating a scrumptious snack modeled after what some animals eat! (CC)

What's an owl pellet? Owls cough up pellets containing parts of the prey they can’t digest such as bones and fur. Using tweezers and toothpicks, we will pick apart the pellets to locate and identify animal bones. Our pellets are clean and safe to handle!

Their dissection is a great way to learn about an owl's diet and discover how food chains work in nature. (CC)

Tai Chi Class Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that is being rediscovered here as a health exercise. Time magazine called Tai Chi the perfect exercise in 2002. This class brings the mind, body, and spirit together with isometric, balance, and leg strengthening exercises. Movements are executed slowly and precisely to learn proper body alignment. Our way to beat stress is through integrating slower breathing with more precise, aligned movement. (LN) AGE: 16yrs+ DAY

The waivers are on the reverse side of the program registration form and must be signed by adults participating in adult programs; and by a parent or legal guardian for children under 18 years of age.

In Case of Oops!

Complete details of program policies, procedures, and guidelines are sometimes omitted from the program brochures because of space limitations. Also, errors in days, times, registration requirements and fees may occur as well. We apologize for any errors that may appear in the brochure. We thank you for your patience and understanding when these situations arise.

A. All requests for refunds must be submitted in person or by phone two business days prior to the first class meeting or practice of program. Trips require reservations weeks ahead of time and therefore do not allow us to refund. Please see staff for individual trip policies.

B. Individuals requesting refunds with two or more business days notice prior to the first class, meeting or practice will receive a 100% refund, less $10 for administrative costs.

C. No refunds will be issued for any programs after the first meeting of a program, unless a physician’s excuse is presented. Refunds requested for medical reasons will be prorated from the time the request is received.

Insurance Policy The Itasca Park District does not provide medical coverage for injuries suffered while participating in park district programs, or while using park facilities. The park district, therefore, cannot assume responsibility for personal injury for persons participating in recreation programs or using facilities. Persons are advised to make provisions for this coverage in their family insurance program.

Fee Information Due to liability concerns, all individuals wishing to participate in any park district program must pay the registration fee listed in the brochure prior to the start of the first class. Any individual who is unable to pay the registration fee must contact the Superintendent of Recreation to set up a payment plan. No phone registration will be accepted. Individuals not paying full program registration fee, or those on payment plans will be assessed a 10% service charge if any payment is late.

See contract for refund policies.

Cooperation The park district wishes to acknowledge the cooperation of the Village of Itasca and the Itasca School District #10 for enabling the park district to provide numerous year-round recreational activities. The park district is permitted to use the school facilities when not used by the schools. For this reason there may be occasional changes in the schedule.
