General Information

D ear I tasca Park D istrict Patrons: As summer approaches we have visions of outdoor activities: picnics, ball games, swimming, bike riding-just about any fun filled event that we can participate in for the summer season we have at the Itasca Park District!

The Waterpark will be up and running starting Memorial Day weekend, take advantage and buy your early bird rate pool pass in April! There are themed events and activities happening all summer long at the pool, that will be loads of fun for the entire family. Make sure to also sign up your child for swim lessons- there will be a free week of lessons starting June 6th. The Itasca Park District has many special events to choose from. Our concerts in the park start June 8th with our residential band, Throw Back Juke Box. There will be six concerts this summer at Usher Park. This year we will have a NEW event offered- Summer Park Parties. There is one each month and filled with FUN and a movie under the stars!

Exciting News! Itasca Park District received confirmation from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for a $375,000 Capital Museum Grant that was submitted in July 2021 for the Springbrook Nature Center. The current grant that has been awarded will include improvements for: new exterior interpretive signage for the birds of prey mews, new roofs for the bird mews, two new hands-on interactive displays focused on creek, woodland, wetland and prairies, new birds of prey interactive exhibit, two boardwalk section replacements, new side entrance signage and replacement of the entrance sign. Total projected budget will be $550,000 with the grant covering $375,000 with funding supported by the Village of Itasca $100,000, Itasca Park District $50,000, and other local private and community groups providing $25,000.

This brochure has pages and pages of great park and recreational activities. Have a great summer and make the most of this season!

Our camp program has expanded over the years and with new offerings you will find an adventure for every child in your home. Our Recreation Supervisor, Erika Rubo, was named the 2021 Young Professional of the Year by Illinois Park & Recreation Association. Erika is the mastermind behind our summer camps and many of our special events.

Sincerely,

I have just touched on just a few opportunities we have to offer. Speaking of opportunities, the Itasca Park District offers great part-time and seasonal jobs. These jobs help create lifelong skills or like many of our staff, these part-time jobs turn in to full-time careers.

President, Itasca Park District Board of Commissioners

Parent & Tot Swim Lessons

This program offers a curriculum that encourages participants to succeed and develop important 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. Instructors reserve the right to place the participant in the class best suited to his or her ability. Additionally, it is common for participants to spend more than one session in a certain level; please remember this when registering your child for multiple sessions. Safety classes will take place inside during inclement weather. No class July 4-8.

These lessons are designed for children ages 1 to 3 years old. Both parent and child will be in the water with the instructor as a group. Classes are meant to familiarize your tot with the water and teach swimming readiness skills while parents will learn how to safely interact with their swimmer in and around the water. Children who are not toilet-trained must wear a swim diaper and tight-fitting plastic pants over diaper (NO disposable or cloth diapers). No class week of July 4-8

Drop-Off Guidelines Parents: Please bring your child to the pool deck and remain with him/her until the instructor has arrived. Once your child is with his/her teacher, parents should proceed to the designated viewing space which is located in the concession area or on the ramp. On 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.

Journey 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. You do not need to know your swimmers ability to register them for lessons. Skills will be assessed by the swim lessons coordinator and swim instructors on the first day of classes in order to ensure your swimmer is in the correct level. 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.

Tai Chi Class Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that is being rediscovered here as a health exercise. 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.

Definition of Residency Anyone living within the geographic boundaries of the Itasca Park District. If there are any questions about your residency, please call the park district office, where a complete list and map is maintained.

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. 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 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. D. A refund will not be given to programs that cost less than $15. The amount minus the $10 fee will be applied to another class or a voucher given for future use. E.

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.
