Letter from the Executive Director Dear Northbrook Park District residents, Summer is around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited, first and foremost because we will be welcoming you back to the newly renamed Northbrook Community Center!

The renovation of the former Leisure Center will be finished in time for summer, and we can’t wait to show off the building’s incredible transformation into a more functional and modern space that will accommodate highquality programming for all ages. (For more details, take a look at page 9).

Summer is the best time to venture outdoors and enjoy our 24 beautiful parks, including community parks, neighborhood parks, tot lots and passive parks.

Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, increase the ability to focus, and even support heart health and immunity. Who can say no to all of that?

Among the highlights of summer is the opening of our pools, Meadowhill Aquatic Center (MAC) and Northbrook Sports Center Pool, which will be ready to welcome families on May 23 and June 6 respectively. Make sure to purchase your pool passes by May 6 for early bird savings!

Summer is also the time to fill your calendar with our special events, where you can enjoy a variety of activities, hang out with family and friends, and meet other members of the community.

The adults-only Grapes on the Green event, which has become a favorite for the Northbrook community, takes place June 20 in beautiful Village Green Park in downtown Northbrook (please note the date change).

Our Tuesdays in the Park concert series at Village Green Park kicks off June 23 for seven

weeks of great outdoor music and dancing, along with the chance to win prizes and visit with sponsors.

As per tradition, our Fourth of July festivities, in partnership with the Village of Northbrook, include the 18th Liberty Loop and Lap in the morning, a community parade in the afternoon and spectacular fireworks in the evening.

The all-ages Party on the Green will be back at Village Green Park on August 15 with entertainment for the whole family — Taylor Swift covers, blues guitar tunes and an outdoor movie — along with games, bounce houses, arts and crafts, activities and giveaways for all.

Also, don’t forget to save the date for another adults-only favorite, Northbrook Brewfest on September 19.

Summer is also when children and teens can engage in exciting activities, make new friends and create lifelong memories at Summer Camp.

Please turn to page 30 to find out more about our lineup of camps for ages 3 to 13 featuring swimming, field trips, sports, crafts, theater, dance, hockey, ice skating and golf.

If you can’t decide which option is best, try several! We offer weeklong camps to give children and families the most flexibility and a chance to explore a variety of interests.

I wish you a fun-filled, joyful summer, and I look forward to seeing you at our parks, pools and special events!

Warmly,

Chris Leiner, Executive Director

IMPROVING COMMUNITY SPACES West Park Project

The extensive renovation of West Park in Northbrook is scheduled to begin in mid to late May with completion in fall. The 24-acre community park is located at 1730 Pfingsten Road, behind the Northbrook Sports Center.

The project includes a new playground with increased accessibility, ramped play areas and synthetic turf safety surface; a new picnic shelter near the playground; replacement of three tennis courts; replacement of one sand volleyball court; new native planting areas along the trail; trail additions along the parking lot to create a two-thirds of a mile continuous loop within the park; a new multi-sport court featuring hockey and basketball; and new amenities such as benches, garbage/recycling cans and a drinking fountain with bottle filler and dog bowl.

The plan includes the removal of some invasive and declining trees, and planting of 17,000 square feet of naturalized areas.

The project is funded in part by a $600,000 Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The project is based on careful evaluation of community priorities and feedback, including public input surveys conducted in 2024 and 2025.

Techny Prairie Park and Fields

Starting in August, the Park District will resurface and replace nearly three-quarters of a mile of the multi-use trail at Techny Prairie Park and Fields. The project is estimated to last six to eight weeks, and is funded by a Bike Path Grant of $200,000 through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Additionally, the Park District was awarded a $600,000 grant through the state’s Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) program for renovations at Techny Prairie Park and Fields.

The grant will allow the Park District to upgrade many of the 113-acre park amenities that were built in 2006 and are now reaching the end of their useful life.

Project elements include a new playground with more accessible elements and synthetic turf safety surface; a new picnic shelter; improvements to the Trail Through Time including forest therapy elements, new seating areas and a new woodland path connection creating a new small loop; batting cage renovations including new equipment, an ADA accessible stall and a modernized payment system; renovations at Baseball Field #29 including field drainage improvements, dugout and bleacher shade structures, and new fencing, netting, scoreboard and site furnishings; a new tunnel for batting and pitching use with synthetic turf, portable mound, pitching screen and temporary pitching rubbers; and supplemental pond edge plantings, wildlife habitat improvements and educational signage.

The Park District sought public input for the project in summer 2025 by offering a community meeting led by project consultants, two community open houses, an online survey and an online petition.

Heritage Oaks Golf Club

To increase customer comfort during hot summer days, the Park District added shade structures at the Practice Range, Academy tee and the bag drop area at Heritage Oaks Golf Club.

The main feature is the addition of five 20-footwide shade structures at the Practice Range with an aesthetically appealing style that complements the facility’s architecture.

Additionally, a 100-foot-wide shade was installed on the east end of the range for the Academy tee, and an 20-foot-wide cantilever shade was installed for the bag drop podium area.

Northbrook Community Center’s Exciting Transformation

The renovation of the Northbrook Community Center — one of the Northbrook Park District’s most exciting projects in recent years — is nearly done, with the reopening expected in time for summer.

The building, formerly the Leisure Center, closed in August 2025 for the $12.1 million renovation project partially funded by a $2.8 million state grant.

The 1960s era building will reopen to the community as a modern, bright and

welcoming environment with enhanced spaces to accommodate programming options for all ages.

The Northbrook Community Center will host Sunshine Preschool, the Senior Center and Northbrook Theatre, along with a wide variety of classes and programs for children, adults and seniors.

Witnessing the building’s transformation has been really exciting, said Northbrook Park District Director of Recreation Eileen Loftus.

“From newly shaped rooms where users can play, learn, create and be together, to window replacements, paint and flooring — the changes are more and more evident with each visit,” Loftus said. “It’s been wonderful to see the project begin with conversations about the needs of the community, be a part of the design selection process and now watch the project come alive.”

on the project to ensure the needs of users of all ages were met.

A great element of the renovation is having a true front entrance to welcome community members, Sweet said.

The renovated and repurposed building will provide more natural light through new exterior and interior windows, an upgraded entrance leading to the customer service front desk, and a warm lobby area with a fireplace.

There will be new areas for performance programs, including a new Studio Theatre, and new gathering areas, including comfortable seating, tables and chairs in the lobby and expanded hallways.

A new demonstration kitchen will host cooking programs, and there will be revamped spaces for early childhood programs, art workshops and active programs for children and seniors.

Soothing decorative elements include curvy hallway ceiling panels and calming blue and earth tones, as the design by Wight & Company incorporates biophilic principles (intended with the desire to create spaces that connect humans and the environment).

Northbrook Park District Superintendent of Arts and Recreation Erin Sweet, along with other staff knowledgeable about the building’s day-to-day programming, worked

“People will enjoy being able to walk from the parking lot through the new entrance into a welcoming lobby area,” she said. “Our Northbrook Community Center staff members are looking forward to greeting individuals providing information and guidance as they get to know the new spaces in the facility. The building and its amenities will have a friendly, open and communal feel, and we can’t wait to showcase it for the enjoyment of the entire community.”

NORTHBROOK PARK DISTRICT

NEWSWORTHY NOTES Best of the Best

with an exhibit during the Village of Northbrook’s first Climate Action Day (save the date this year on May 30!) and an “Oaktober” table at Autumnfest (save the date on October 3!).

About two acres of green space are converted into native areas every year, and prestigious Audubon certification is maintained for Heritage Oaks Golf Club, Techny Prairie Park and Fields and Wood Oaks Green Park.

The Park District was awarded two prestigious “Best of the Best” awards from the Illinois Association of Park Districts late last year.

The Arts in the Park award recognizes support for the arts and partnerships with artists and organizations to enhance the quality of life in the community.

The Park District also utilizes environmentally friendly equipment including an electric fleet vehicle, electric robots for field striping, mowing and golf ball picking, and a hybrid reel mower.

Golf Kudos

From staples like the Tuesdays in the Park free summer concerts to the success of Northbrook Theatre, the Park District has a year-round calendar filled with arts-related offerings for all interests and age groups.

This includes summer camps for theater and visual arts; classes in ceramics, painting, drawing, sewing, culinary arts and more; private lessons in piano, voice and dance; introductory music classes for children; and dance, theatre and drama classes for all ages. Many Park District community events incorporate the arts, such as Autumnfest in October and Grapes on the Green in June.

Additionally, the Park District is committed to reducing barriers and making art opportunities accessible with a scholarship program that awards over $40,000 annually to individuals with financial need.

The Best Green Practices award recognizes initiatives to incorporate and encourage environmentally friendly business practices and policies.

Techny Prairie Activity Center remains dedicated to sustainability thanks to its 833 rooftop solar panels, even after the addition of two hours of running time to its HVAC systems for the comfort of patrons.

Last year, the Park District contributed to the community’s environmental education, including

Park District golf facilities and staff members were recognized for industry leading operational achievements and awards at the annual PGA of America Show that took place earlier this year in Florida.

• PGA Director of Golf Instruction Michael Wenzel was selected as a GRAA Top 100 Growth of the Game Teaching Professional.

• Head Golf Professional John Billiter was selected as a GRAA Top 50 Clubfitter and received a Ping Power Fitter Award.

Celebrating TPAC

Techny Prairie Activity Center celebrated its 5th anniversary in January by offering a monthlong calendar of special events, including an anniversary party open to the public. The initiative was a way to thank members for their support, as well as an opportunity to showcase the facility to the larger community.

“We know there are so many fitness facility options out there, and we strive every day to provide what is truly an amazing facility for the community in Northbrook,” Park District Superintendent of Athletics and Fitness Meri Shea said.

Congratulations!

The Park District and its staff received awards and recognition from industry colleagues at the 2026 Illinois Association of Park Districts/ Illinois Park and Recreation Association’s annual conference in late January.

• The organization earned an Exceptional Workplace Award, given to agencies that demonstrate a focus on employee wellbeing in a variety of ways including stressing the importance of physical activity; professional development; safety; work/life balance; and diversity, equity and inclusion education/ support.

• Digital Marketing Strategist Marybeth Stone took 1st place in the Sports category of the IAPD “Give Us Our Best Shot” photo contest.

Her winning photo was featured on the cover of the January/February Illinois Parks and Recreation magazine.

Several Park District staff members took on prominent Illinois Parks and Recreation Association leadership roles for 2026: • Director of Marketing and Communications Joan Scovic serves as chair-elect of the IPRA Board of Directors.

• Communications and Engagement Manager Deanna Angelini Johann serves as Communications and Marketing Section Communication Director.

• Director of Human Resources and Risk Management Anna Olas chairs the Health and Wellness Committee.

Special Day

Northbrook Golf Academy Teaching Professional Cindy Lee-Pridgen, who brings extensive international experience to girls’ golf programs, hosted the first LPGA/USGA Girls Golf Experience Day in the gym of Greenbriar School in March.

The event was designed to introduce girls to the game of golf including practicing a full swing, chipping and putting, and getting a general feel for the game.

Golf is not just a physical sport — it’s also about empowering, engaging, energizing, exercising and enriching girls’ lives, which LPGA/USGA Girls Golf dubs as its pillar “five Es.” The Park District’s Northbrook Golf Academy offers instruction for children and adults of all skill levels (see page 52 for more information).

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.

A new lightning warning system will be installed this summer. For more information, visit nbparks.org/status.

YOUTH LEAGUES

Team up with Northbrook Park District! Our youth leagues emphasize developing children as individuals and athletes, rather than the competitive aspect of winning. The program strives to provide a fun and safe atmosphere in which children learn respect, sportsmanship and skills. All players receive equal playing time and are introduced to all positions.

Team Formation

Teams are organized by grade, school and gender, and may be combined when necessary to ensure balanced participation. Friendship requests are limited to one reciprocal request per participant. While staff will make every effort to honor these requests, they are not guaranteed.

Team rosters may not be submitted by parents or coaches. All friendship requests must be submitted prior to the registration deadline. Team formation begins after registration closes.

Participants who register after team formation has started will have the option to register for a paid waitlist and will be added to a team if space is available. Late registrants will be placed without consideration for school affiliation or friendship requests.

For current League Rules, Parent Player Manual, Friendship Request and Coaching Applications, visit nbparks.org/youthleagues.

Program Waiver and Release Important Information

The Northbrook Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for this program/activity must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or has recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

Warning of Risk

Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the District to guarantee absolute safety.

Photo/Video Policy

The District takes photos and video of participants in classes, during special events and in the parks.

By signing the waiver, you are giving permission to the District to use these photos and video in District publications and on the District website and social media outlets. All photos and video are the property of the District.

Assumption of Risk and Waiver and Release of All Claims

Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in this program/ activity, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with this program/activity (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided).

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in this program/ activity and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in this program/activity against the District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees.

Privacy and Security Policy

The Northbrook Park District is committed to maintaining participant’s privacy in compliance with all laws. The Privacy and Security Policy outlines the types of information the Park District gathers and is available at nbparks.org.

The District assumes no responsibility for personal injuries or loss of personal property.

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%.

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. Proof of residency may be required.

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.
