D ear I tasca Park D istrict Patrons: Just think, a year ago we did not even have a fall brochure to mail.

What has changed at the Itasca Park District as we progress through the COVID 19 Pandemic?

Our fall brochure offerings take the IDPH guidelines into consideration.

Our hope is to add new avenues of opportunity to our patrons in indoor and outdoor recreation as we move forward.

Our summer camps returned with great enthusiasm. Our baseball and softball teams have returned to their fields of dreams, the Itasca Dolphins Swim Team hit the water, the new pool bathhouse opened with thoughts of sandy beaches, our dancers took center stage, the gymnasts practiced for the next Olympics and our field trips have gassed up.

Thank you for your support and understanding in our management of an unimaginable situation.

Our Waterpark Family Interactive pool was a victim of a material shortage to rebuild the slides. The only manufacturer is in Canada and parts were delayed, wrong and missing. So we had modified the interactive family pool for the season.

President, Itasca Park District Board of Commissioners

Sincerely,

Linda Aiani

The Itasca Park District takes the Illinois Department of Public Health very seriously and we abide by them. Our protocols have allowed the park district to operate during this Pandemic without interruption.

Conduct Policy Behavior: Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times.

The following guidelines have been developed to help make Itasca Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants.

Participants shall: ■ Show respect to all participants and staff ■ Refrain from using foul language ■ Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants or staff ■ Refrain from damaging equipment, supplies, and facilities Discipline: Itasca Park District reserves the right to dismiss a participant for infraction of

We invite any participant with a special need to contact our staff upon registration so that a smooth inclusion may occur. In addition to the programs listed on this page, our district provides additional services for people with disabilities through Northeast DuPage Special Recreation Association.

Nothing ruins a good program quicker... than everyone waiting until the last minute to register. Please register one week prior to the first class to avoid disappointment.

0.5K Beer & Donut Run What is a 0.5K Beer & Donut Run? Some of you may have heard of a 5k, 10k, or even marathons, but what about the 0.5k? We are making your training for this race easier than the rest of them. This is for those who enjoy their Saturday's with a little more laidback style! The race is perfect, just a loop around the Bird Sanctuary; just try not to spill your beer (it's bad for the grass) and finish that donut! There will not be an official timekeeper for the race because we are all winners! Afterwards, kickback and relax on the softball complex fields where there will be more Church Street Brewery beverages for purchase.

What does my fee include? Your entry fee reserves your spot on race day and qualifies you for participation in the 0.5k Beer & Donut Run and includes an event t-shirt, event race cup, and (oh, by the way) a pint of racing beer or seltzer from Church Street Brewery and a donut! (Must be registered by September 9th to guarantee t-shirt size) Must be 21+ to participate. IDs will be checked at check-in.

Kinky Boots This flashy, sassy, sexy story of big heels invading a small town shook Broadway and was universally adored by critics and audiences. Now it’s Paramount’s turn to try these shoes on for size. Charlie Price is a reluctant shoe maker. Lola is a fierce drag queen.

These two could not be any more different, but when they find common ground in shoes, they see a whole new world of possibilities open up to them that will turn their small town upside down, and just might save Charlie’s failing shoe factory. With a Tony Award-winning score by Grammy Award winner Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein (Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Hairspray), Kinky Boots tears up the stage and never lets go. The show is at the Paramount and included lunch, show and transportation. Registration deadline is Sept 9th. (ER) AGE: 40+yrs DAY DATE

How to Register

Re

gister Registration will begin on Monday, August 16th.

O Registration will continue until the class is filled or nline ! needs to be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment or individual program deadlines. Mail-in registration for the Fitness Center and Waterpark passes will not be accepted. Itasca Park District Residents will need proof of residency and children in their household to register for the first time.

Waivers In accordance with Recreation Department policy, all program participants must sign a hold-harmless agreement prior to participation in Department sponsored programs.

The waiver 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. We apologize for any errors that may appear in the brochure. We thank you for your patience and understanding when these situations arise.

Refund Policy 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.

C. No refunds will be issued for any programs within two days of 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.

Itasca Recreation Center Rental The Itasca Recreation Center may be reserved for private use during non-program hours.

Groups and individuals should contact the park district at 630-773-2257 or visit itascaparkdistrict.com/rentals for more information. A Security Deposit is required in order to hold a date. If cancellation occurs within 10 days prior to rental, deposit will be retained. 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.

Senior Citizens Senior Citizen rates apply to those 60 years and older.
