Letter from the Executive Director Dear Northbrook Park District residents, Summer is around the corner, and I am excited to invite you to make the most of the Park District’s many offerings during the warmer months. Spending time outdoors, particularly in green spaces, has numerous health benefits, including improving mood and reducing stress levels. In fact, just 20 minutes a day spent outside can do that! Here in Northbrook, we are proud to provide our community with a beautiful array of parks, ranging from small neighborhood gems to large community spaces. Two parks in particular host a variety of summer events: Village Green Park, located among the businesses and restaurants of downtown Northbrook, and Techny Prairie Park and Fields, which combines the beauty of nature with the excitement of ball fields and sports activities. Summer is a prime time for community gatherings, and as always, you can count on the Park District to offer some of the most entertaining and high-quality events across the suburbs. My favorites include our Tuesdays in the Park concert series, which has become a staple for the Northbrook community, and our newest event, Grapes on the Green, offered with the Village of Northbrook, where adults can gather for an enjoyable afternoon of music and wine tastings. My family also loves spending time at the Park District pools, and this year we are especially looking forward to checking out the renovated Meadowhill Aquatic Center. And of course, our annual Fourth of July festivities — including the annual Liberty Loop and Lap, parade and fireworks — are always a wonderful time to relish the spirit of community.

I am also pleased to report that the Northbrook Park District continues to demonstrate a longstanding commitment to fiscal excellence. Earlier this year, the Park District once again received Aaa credit rating from Moody’s Ratings, as we have since 2007. This is a testament to our staff’s collective hard work and our Board of Commissioners’ longstanding commitment to setting the course for judicious fiscal policies. With Aaa credit rating, the Park District can ensure the highest levels of financial stewardship as we moves forward to support capital improvement plans, including the upcoming renovations at the Leisure Center. This exciting project will give a much-needed facelift to the Leisure Center, which was built in the 1960s and needs upgrades to elevate this important recreation hub to better serve the community. Another upcoming project currently in the planning stages is the 2026 renovation of West Park, thanks to a significant grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. This large community park provides 24 acres of open space and recreational amenities, and the upcoming work will ensure that it is an integral and accessible community location for recreation and outdoor enjoyment for generations to come. Meanwhile, I wish you a fantastic summer, and I look forward to seeing you in the parks! Warmly,

Chris Leiner, Executive Director

NORTHBROOK PARK DISTRICT

NEWSWORTHY NOTES Congratulations!

Several members of the Park District staff received awards that recognized their talent and professionalism.

• 2nd place in video short format for “Northbrook in 90”

• 3rd place in social media for “Meet the Preschool Teachers” • 5th place in the written content category for Paint the Prairie • 5th place for table display We are so proud to have such an experienced and knowledgeable team here at the Park District!

• In January, Northbrook Park District PGA Certified Director of Golf Instruction Michael Wenzel received a 2024 Game Changer Award in the Player Engagement category by the PGA of America. Wenzel also once again secured a spot among the Golf Range Association of America’s Top 100 Growth of the Game Teaching Professionals. The golf awards were conferred during the 2025 PGA Show. • Two staff members took 1st place in the Illinois Association of Park Districts “Give Us Your Best Shot” photo contest. Sally Norlie won in the recreation/people at play category for her photo “Naked Mole Rat Fashion” and Marybeth Stone won in the sports category for her photo “Flying Down the Field.” • At the 2025 Illinois Association of Park Districts / Illinois Park and Recreation Association Soaring to New Heights Conference, the Park District received the Outstanding Special Event award for the 2024 Paint the Prairie event, held in conjunction with the Village of Northbrook’s Arts Commission. The Marketing + Communications Division also earned several awards in the Agency Showcase marketing competition:

Financial stewardship

Continuing an enduring tradition of fiscal excellence, the Park District earned recognition for its dedication to financial stewardship. The Park District was once again assigned the highest credit rating, Aaa, by Moody’s Ratings. Northbrook was among only 12 park districts, out of 105 total park districts in Illinois rated by Moody’s, holding the Aaa rating — the highest among the credit rating agency’s 21 notches — at the beginning of the year. Northbrook was the first park district in Illinois to be rated Aaa by Moody’s, and has maintained that over the last 18 years. The achievement is a result of the Park District’s collective efforts in ensuring healthy reserves and liquidity to support future capital investment projects and long-term financial planning. With Aaa credit rating, the Park District can ensure the highest levels of financial stewardship as it moves forward to support its capital improvement plans. The Park District also was once again awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The award recognized the Park District’s annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2023.

• 1st place in logo design for Northbrook Brewfest, created by Graphic Design and Brand Specialist Claire Cinquegrani

The Park District has received the award every year since 1993, a testament to its commitment to adhering to the GFOA’s best practices and transparency standards in financial reporting.

IMPROVING COMMUNITY SPACES West Park

to drop by 15 to 30 degrees underneath the shaded areas, where customers will also have better visibility for phone and tablet screens when utilizing the TrackMan Range app on sunny days.

West Park, located at 1730 Pfingsten Road behind the Northbrook Sports Center, was originally built in 1965.

Techny Prairie Park and Fields

The Park District was awarded a $600,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to fund improvements at West Park, one of our largest and most popular community parks.

The grant from Open Space Lands Aquisition and Development (OSLAD) program will help fund a project that will feature the renovation of the playground — including the installation of synthetic turf safety surface — three tennis courts, one sand volleyball court and segments of the existing trail. Improvements will also include the addition of a picnic shelter, segments of trail to create a two-thirds mile continuous loop within the park, a multi-use sport court and native plantings. The total cost of the project is estimated between $2 million and $2.2 million. Planning and bidding are taking place this year, with the start of construction expected in 2026. As with any project of this size, the Park District sought input from the community through an online survey and in-person meetings. Watch for additional input opportunities this year.

Heritage Oaks Golf Club

The Park District is planning to add shade structures at the Practice Range, Academy tee and the bag drop area at Heritage Oaks Golf Club. The primary project is the addition of five 20-foot-wide shade structures with an aesthetically appealing style that complements the clubhouse and range building architecture. Additionally, a 100-foot-wide shade is planned for the east end of the range for the Academy tee, and an 18-foot-wide cantilever shade is planned for the bag drop podium area. The goal is to increase customer comfort during hot summer days. Temperatures are estimated

The Park District is planning to resurface and replace about ¾ of a mile of multi-use trail at Techny Prairie Park and Fields.

The project will be funded by a Bike Path Grant of $200,000 through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The most recent major renovations at Techny Prairie Park and Fields took place in 2006, with some portions of the trail dating back to the late 1980s. The goal of this project is to ensure the trail remains in good condition and is available to park visitors for years to come, offering equitable access to open space, nature and physical and mental wellness. Project planning is taking place this year, with construction expected in 2026.

Wood Oaks Green Park

The south parking lot of Wood Oaks Green Park will be upgraded with replacement of the asphalt pavement and 10 inches of base stone, and improvements will be made to the circle drop off areas for better traffic flow. The project is slated to begin in August and will last approximately six weeks. Wood Oaks Green Park has a large sled hill and offers catch-and-release fishing at Lake Shermerville. The park features a playground, eight tennis courts (four can be used for pickleball) and a scenic 1.25-mile walking/ jogging trail. This is a popular park for weekend picnics and for Park District baseball and soccer programs.

LEISURE CENTER RENOVATION

PROJECT UPDATE

The renovation of the multigenerational spaces inside the Leisure Center is expected to start this fall.

The 40,000-square-foot Leisure Center, 3323 Walters Avenue, serves as the headquarters for the Park District’s recreation programs for children and adults, hosting Sunshine Preschool, the Senior Center and the Northbrook Theatre. Dating back to the 1960s, the building used to hold the former Indian Ridge School and was acquired by the Park District in the 1980s. The facility needs to be renovated and upgraded to extend its lifespan and boost the Park District’s ability to meet the needs of the community. The cost of the project is currently estimated at about $12.1 million, and will be partially funded by a $2.8 million grant from the Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act program administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The project will feature functional upgrades catering to all users and elevating the interior of the building with a more open and inviting feel. There will be an improved and welcoming main entrance, an enhanced lobby with new reception area and expanded hallway spaces. The building will feature all new exterior windows and façade improvements, and classrooms will have ambient lighting and new viewing windows for a brighter, more communal feel. New features will include a social lounge, additional art spaces and a technology and training room. There will be upgrades to

the classrooms, demonstration kitchen and multipurpose rooms, including the addition of a fireplace. The bathrooms will be renovated, and technology will be added throughout the building to augment meetings, presentations and special events. The Northbrook Theatre will have a designated entrance with a new direct outdoor walkway, along with upgrades to the smaller theatre space as well as the lower-level green room, dressings rooms and costume area. Safety enhancements will include a designated access point for the early childhood area and improved wayfinding signage. The work also will upgrade the building to current ADA standards, including accessible bathrooms in the early childhood classrooms. During construction, all programs that typically take place at the Leisure Center will be relocated to other Park District facilities as well as a few additional locations in the community. Sunshine Preschool will be held at the 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.

Adult and senior programs, including drop-in programming, events and wellness, will be held at other Northbrook Park District facilities, including Village Green Center, Techny Prairie Exterior Imp Activity Center and the Sports Center. Ma As the start of construction approaches, we will share additional information regarding these impactful plans for this facility at nbparks.org/ projects.

PROPOSED

MEADOWHILL AQUATIC CENTER This summer, patrons will enjoy an enhanced pool experience at Meadowhill Aquatic Center (MAC), which will reopen in June after a nearly $2.6 million renovation. MAC offers four separate outdoor pools: a lap pool, a children’s water playground, a diving area with three boards and a pool with tube and body slides. The construction project — which included 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 grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The project’s exterior improvements include the effective doubling of shaded seating on the pool deck, which patrons will especially enjoy, said Northbrook Sports Center Manager Joey Sanchez. Patrons will also appreciate our refreshed locker rooms, which were repainted and will feature two new gender-neutral family changing rooms. One of the changing rooms includes an adult changing table, a fundamental aid for adults with disabilities or mobility limitations and their caregivers. In addition, the lobby will have a new layout that includes direct access to the pool deck, allowing

for a seamless experience after check-in. The project also included new signage, the replacement of some pool deck concrete, the installation of a updated fire suppression system and upgrades compliant with ADA requirements. The project features extensive upgrades to the mechanical equipment that pumps, filters, circulates and heats the pool water while a new first aid room and guard break room will enhance the safety of both patrons and staff. All these features will provide an even more enjoyable and family friendly experience for the community. MAC is part of the 32-acre Meadowhill Park, which also features five baseball diamonds, seasonal soccer fields, football fields, a lighted basketball court, the Ed Rudolph Velodrome and an outdoor ice rink that also offers pickleball in the warmer months. The Park District purchased the land in 1958 from the Society of the Divine Word, selling a portion to Northbrook School District 28 for the construction of the junior high school. The Park District began developing the property in 1960. In the late 1980s, the original Meadohill Pool was replaced with four new pools, acquiring the name Meadowhill Aquatic Center.

Lightning Warning Systems The Northbrook Park District has two lightning warning systems. One is located at Heritage Oaks Golf Club with ancillary units at West Park and Wood Oaks Green Park. The other unit is located at Techny Prairie Park and Fields with ancillary units at the Chalet in Meadowhill Park and Village Green Park. Strike Guard monitors cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The lightning warning system will activate when there is an immediate lightning threat in the area. When this occurs you must seek shelter immediately. The unit will deactivate when the immediate threat has passed. Activation (an immediate lightning threat is present) One uninterrupted (15-second) siren will sound and a strobe will flash. Deactivation (the system has determined conditions are safe) Three 5-second blasts will sound and the strobe will go off. Testing takes place on Tuesdays at 9:30am for the lightning systems. Be sure not to confuse testing with an actual alarm! Testing will not take place if there is threatening weather. Visit nbparks.org/status for more information.

General Registration Information Commitment to Quality

We want you to be happy with your recreation choices! If you’re not satisfied with a program or instructor, you may ask to repeat the class, transfer to another class or receive a refund. The Park District will try to resolve instructor and/or program issues to your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied, the full or prorated refund will be approved. Requests can be made at any Registration Office or by calling 847-291-2993.

Withdrawal & Transfer Requests

We understand that circumstances arise that may lead to a patron’s inability to participate in a class/program. Unless otherwise noted, a request for a transfer or refund can be made if: • The request is submitted three business days prior to the start of a program. • The instructor and participant agree the participant’s skill level is not appropriate. • The class is canceled or rescheduled and participant cannot attend at the new time. • The patron cannot participate due to illness or injury (doctor’s note may be required).

Refunds

All refunds are subject to an administrative fee of 10% of the program cost. Camps, workshops, before/after school care, golf course green fees, adult sports leagues, daily admissions, passes/punch cards, tickets to entertainment, special events and trips may have nonrefundable deposits and/or special restrictions. Refunds do not apply to program supplies/materials purchased, gift certificates, food and contractual programs.

Program Cancellations

When people wait until the last minute to register, classes may be canceled, so register early to avoid disappointment. If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, those who signed up will be issued a full refund.

Residency

All Village of Northbrook residents are not residents of the Northbrook Park District. Non-residents are charged a slightly higher fee for programs. If you have questions about residency, call the main Registration Office at 847-291-2993.

Health Conditions

Participants should notify the Park District at the time of registration about any medical condition that might require special attention by District staff. Information will remain confidential.

Code of Conduct

Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times in programs and facilities. That includes respect for all people, equipment and facilities and cooperative, positive participation. The staff will review rules with participants and may dismiss anyone whose behavior endangers safety or negatively affects a program or facility.

Are You Covered?

The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants; the cost would make program fees prohibitive. Review your personal health insurance plan to be sure you and your family have proper coverage. The absence of coverage does not make the Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. In addition, certain high risk activities require a waiver/release form, which must be signed before the first class.

Scholarship Requests

Because we believe every Park District resident should have the opportunity to participate in our offerings, we will attempt to provide financial assistance to those faced with financial hardship. Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook assists the District with the administration of our scholarship program. Applicants who meet the criteria can receive financial assistance towards recreation programs and memberships. Applicants only need to qualify once per calendar year and application forms are available by contacting Melanie Cohen at mcohen@nbparks.org or 847-2912995.

Inclusion

We encourage participation by everyone and provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with ADA standards. If you require program assistance for special needs, check the box on the Registration Form to be contacted by the District’s NSSRA Inclusion Liaison. Questions? Call 847-291-2995.

ADA Compliance

The Northbrook Park District provides recreation opportunities for all residents and encourages participation by everyone. Programs and services are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as all applicable laws regarding nondiscrimination. We are happy to make reasonable modifications to assist anyone with special needs who wants to participate in a program. Please contact the District in advance of a program to discuss any necessary accommodation or if you need Park District materials in a special format such as Braille, large print or audio cassette. The Park District provides a grievance process for resolution of any ADA complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of a disability. If you have any concerns about Park District ADA compliance, contact Eileen Loftus, Director of Recreation, c/o Northbrook Park District, 545 Academy Drive, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062, phone 847-291-2960 or email eloftus@nbparks.org. The Park District is reviewing its programs and practices in regard to ADA requirements and invites comments from the public.
