Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Northbrook Park District residents,

I am happy to report that this summer, we successfully completed the renovation of Meadowhill Aquatic Center, a project featuring interior and exterior improvements that elevated the user experience while also focusing on essential maintenance

This fall will mark the start of one of our most exciting endeavors in recent history: the $12 1 million renovation of the Leisure Center .

Originally built in the 1960s as a school, the Leisure Center has served generations of Northbrook residents who forged many wonderful memories there Among our primary goals is to be excellent stewards of taxpayer money, and this project will extend the lifespan of the facility in a fiscally responsible manner

Our carefully planned renovation project will revamp the building with improvements that we are confident will please users of all ages

Three guiding principles were identified during the planning stages for this project — to create a facility that is welcoming, impactful and functional

While the Leisure Center construction takes place, you will not miss out on your favorite classes and programs, as we will be moving them to other park district facilities (see page 9 for details) . Our staff will relocate temporarily, so you will continue seeing all the friendly faces you’ve come to know .

As always, we are presenting an awesome lineup of events for families and people of all ages in late summer and fall

September marks the return of Northbrook Brewfest, an adults-only event held in conjunction with the Village of Northbrook on September 6 at Village Green Park, and Touch-A-Truck on September 20 at Underwriters Laboratories, always a gracious partner for this fun and educational event for children

Autumnfest will return on October 5 at Meadowhill Park with all its customary family

entertainment, including a petting zoo, horse trolley, pumpkin picking, arts and crafts, music and more

In November, grab the spookiest Halloween costumes for the pooches and runners in your family for our Halloween Pet Parade on October 23 and the Halloween 3K/Fun Run on October 24, both at Techny Prairie Park and Fields . We also offer the Turkey Shoot free-throw contest, on November 12, when winners of each age division can take home a turkey, and the Thanksgiving LEGO Party on November 26, when the little ones can build to their heart’s content with more than 100 pounds of LEGO elements .

A new offering this year in December is Santa Paws on December 20, a special event where your pooch can take photos with Santa at Village Green Center

Also in December, families can enjoy our traditional Holiday Craft Fair on December 6, a Chanukah Celebration on December 7 and Breakfast with Santa on December 13

While people typically think of fitness as a New Year’s resolution, we invite you to take action now and become a member of Techny Prairie Activity Center (TPAC), our beautiful and modern facility that in January will celebrate its 5th anniversary

TPAC offers more than 50 group classes per week, open gym for basketball, pickleball and volleyball, and a state-of-the-art fitness center and elevated track with gorgeous nature views . We look forward to seeing you this autumn, and we are grateful for your support of the Park District!

Warmly,

Chris Leiner, Executive Director

NORTHBROOK PARK DISTRICT NEWSWORTHY NOTES

Board Members

In May, the Northbrook Park District’s Board of Commissioners welcomed two new Commissioners, Hamzah Mirza and Jason Risdon .

Their election followed the retirement of longtime Commissioners Lisa Chalem and Michael Schyman .

Commissioner Michael Goodman was selected by his peers to serve as Board President, and Commissioner Edward Chao as Board Vice President

Commissioner Chalem had served on the Board for nine years, while Commissioner Schyman had 16 years of service

Generous Arts Grants

The Northbrook Park District has been fortunate to receive support from the Illinois Arts Council (IAC) over the years with generous grants that help stage community and youth-focused productions

Most recently, we received a $3,390 grant for youth employment in the arts from federal funds through the National Endowment for the Arts, and a $15,000 grant for general operating support and youth employment from state funds

The support from IAC has been integral in achieving the creative freedom to expand theatre offerings for the Northbrook community, which has a deep appreciation for arts programming

This year’s general operating grant was especially generous, helping support the productions of Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Northbrook Theatre Youth Company) and School of Rock (Northbrook Community Theatre), and the upcoming productions of 13 (Northbrook Theatre Youth Company) and A Christmas Chaos (Northbrook Community Theatre)

Special Day for Seniors

This year’s celebration of National Senior Health & Fitness Day at Techny Prairie Activity Center was a great success, with 215 seniors participating in free fitness activities and many more visiting the facility and meeting staff and vendors .

That was the highest turnout in the past four years, resulting in a fantastic celebration of wellness, connection and vitality .

Seniors sampled low-impact classes such as Qigong, Chair Zumba and W .O .W (Wonderful Overall Workout), along with open pickleball at the facility’s gym Health experts and sponsors offered free services and information on wellness topics . Home Instead was the event’s presenting sponsor

Increased Transparency

The Northbrook Park District’s first-ever Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) earned an Award for Outstanding Achievement from the Government Finance Officers Association .

The PAFR offered a summary of the Park District’s financial activities for 2023 in a succinct and easily digestible format .

It included explanatory graphics about the District’s demographics, and the year’s accomplishments and challenges . It also gave an overview of the budget and how the District allocates funds to its parks, recreation facilities and programs, capital projects and more .

A GFOA panel of experts evaluated the report on the basis of reader appeal, understandability, distribution methods, creativity and other elements

The Park District created the PAFR to further promote transparency and accountability, and plans to continue creating such reports annually

IMPROVING COMMUNITY SPACES

Program Relocation

During the exciting renovation of the Leisure Center, slated to start in the fall, programs will be moved to other Northbrook Park District facilities

Senior Center programs including Bingo, Canasta, Bridge, Duplicate Bridge, Bunco, Farkle, Humanities, Social Hour and Movie Day will be held at Techny Prairie Activity Center Chess, Art Studio and Cribbage will be held at Village Green Center We have also added Choir at Village Green Center to the schedule

Sunshine Preschool will move to the Northbrook Sports Center The preschool’s furniture and materials will be moved to the new temporary location to ensure a familiar and welcoming environment for children and families .

Check program locations carefully in this Guide

Wally and MAC

This summer, patrons of Meadowhill Aquatic Center (MAC) were greeted by a spruced-up Wally — the blue whale in the children’s play area whose brand new name was chosen by the community — and enjoyed an enhanced pool experience thanks to a recent renovation

The construction project — which featured exterior, interior and mechanical upgrades — began in August 2024 after the pool closed for the regular season . Funding included a $600,000 Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources

Exterior improvements included the effective doubling of shaded areas on the pool deck, refreshed locker rooms with two new family changing rooms and a new lobby configuration with direct access to the pool area along with extensive upgrades to the mechanical equipment that pumps, filters and circulates the pool water

Community Input

You speak; we listen!

The Northbrook Park District works diligently to include the community’s priorities and preferences in its decision-making regarding amenities and programming . In the last two years alone, our Marketing and Communications team conducted six surveys to solicit the community’s input regarding a variety of initiatives .

Surveys conducted in 2024:

• Public Impressions Survey, which sought to obtain insight about how residents prefer to receive information about the park district (No . 1 was receiving the seasonal guide in the mail) .

• West Park Survey, designed to assess how residents use the park and its amenities, and gather input about which play elements are most important and which color palette is preferred for the playground

• West Park Concept Selection Survey, which presented two park renovation concepts based on the feedback received from the first West Park survey .

Surveys conducted in 2025:

• Website Survey, designed to solicit input about how customers use our website, including preferred features and missing elements, all in view of a website redesign focused on user friendliness

• Leisure Center Naming Surveys, asking whether the building should be renamed when it reopens after the renovation; and if so, which name would be best among two options

• West Park Playground Theme, seeking feedback about which elements are most important in an inclusive playground and preferences regarding a potential playground theme .

Continue looking out for more Northbrook Park District surveys — we always want to know what you think!
