GREETINGS FROM YOUR
NEW LENOX COMMUNITY PARK DISTRICT! Time flies and every year I think “Where did the Summer go?” Well your Park District and Sanctuary Golf Course staff didn’t rest this year. There was some tough weather this past summer, but the staff was hard at work ensuring the beautification of your parks as well as the grounds at the Sanctuary Golf Course. For those of you looking for a location to hold your wedding reception, birthday party or perhaps a baby shower, please check out the banquet rooms located at the Lions Community Center. We can accommodate parties large or small. Stop in or call for more details. As you look through the Fall Program Guide, I would like to point out a few new programs and events that are being offered. Grab the family and head over to Haines Wayside Park as we have our first ever Community Bonfire Night on Saturday, September 14. If the clouds cooperate, we should enjoy a full moon and some star gazing while we enjoy eating some delicious s’mores. Don’t miss out on our Shark Baby Dance Party on Sunday, November 10. We will have themed activities, make shark bait and a special guest will be making an appearance for the kids. For those children who enjoy reptiles, amphibians and bugs, we have our very own Critter Class that will be held in December. Each class the participants will have the opportunity to photograph, touch and handle the animals. Lastly, our Children’s Basketball League is right around the corner. Don’t forget to register before Monday, September 16 to avoid the late fee. We now offer online registration for our Children’s Basketball League to make it more convenient.
Your Parks-Maintenance Staff has been hard at work all Summer, too! We were awarded a $400,000 OSLAD Grant for Leigh Creek South Park in Heather Glen subdivision. The plan is to start building the park in Spring of 2020. Also, if you’ll notice near the end of the Program Guide, there is a listing of all park sites that your Park District has to offer. All of the parks have different amenities including playground equipment, shelters available for rental, basketball courts, fishing ponds, soccer field and so much more! Without a great hard-working staff and extremely supportive community, these amazing parks would not be possible. So, when you look though the list of parks, why not try a new park today? Meet new people and see why New Lenox is a great community to live in. Remember…Try a new program, attend a new event and be active in your community! Sincerely Ted Schulz Park Board President
is to provide safe recreational opportunities through diverse programs, facilities and open space, with the overall goal being improvement of the quality of life in our community.

PARK DISTRICT NEWS
S.T.O.P. stands for Stop Trashing Our Parks and is represented by our mascot, Bucky the Beaver. Bucky’s mission is to keep our parks safe and free of vandalism. To help support Bucky’s mission, cash rewards will be paid for information leading to the apprehension of park vandals (individuals providing information are not required to identify themselves). Hopefully, kids of all ages can relate to our friendly S.T.O.P. mascot and his mission.

PARK POLICIES PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS • Children must be the correct age by 9/1/19, unless otherwise specified. In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our Program Guide.
PARK DISTRICT POLICIES
Although your child may turn the correct age during the session of a program, our age requirement date coincides with the school district’s date to assist with the fundamental growth of the child in the age appropriate programs and therefore would not be eligible for registration.

•
Classes are for the registered child only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participants’ attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships.
•
All children must be potty-trained, unless they are attending a class where an adult stays with them or is otherwise stated in the class description. Diapers are not permitted in independent classes unless stated in the class description.
•
Please do not bring food to any class unless previously arranged.
•
For your child’s safety, all children enrolled in programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parent(s) or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.
•
A mandatory sign-in and sign-out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District Programs. Children must be accompanied by an adult when escorted to and from class.
REFUND POLICY NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN: (1) once a program begins unless a replacement is found; (2) on material fees unless we cancel a program; (3) on bus trips; or (4) for special events or one-day programs. A full refund is issued if we cancel a program or trip.
•
When a participant cancels out of a program, a full refund LESS a $5 service charge (per program) will be granted. A $5 service charge will also be assessed on all program transfers. These requests will only be honored if the request is submitted THREE BUSINESS DAYS prior to the start of the program or activity.
•
All refunds less than $10 will be applied as a credit to the customer’s account.

CANCELLATIONS Staff reserves the right to consolidate, postpone, reschedule or cancel any program due to changes in day, dates, times, instructor or insufficient enrollment. If program enrollment does not meet the minimum number of registrants, we try to cancel the program seven days prior to the start date or by the registration deadline. For cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. inclement weather, facility emergencies or scheduling conflicts), which are announced by Lincoln-Way District 210 or New Lenox School District 122 at facilities where Park District programs are scheduled, Park District programming will be cancelled as well. All attempts will be made to reschedule cancelled classes. However, the New Lenox Community Park District is sometimes unable to accommodate make-up classes and will not refund money in such instances.
PROGRAM BEHAVIOR POLICY Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular program and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff.

•
Refrain from using abusive or foul language or from causing bodily harm to self, other participants or staff.

What requirements are necessary for Kiddie Kampus registration?
Meet & Greet Days for Participants & Families Thursday, September 5 and Friday, September 6
Classes begin the week of September 9, 2019 through May 15, 2020
What does Kiddie Kampus offer its participants? The New Lenox Community Park District offers preschool classes designed to develop social, emotional and physical skills to ensure school readiness. A child’s separation from parents and involvement with a non-family member is one of many major steps towards his/her development. Kiddie Kampus provides a safe and supportive environment for your child’s first school experience while increasing his/her self-esteem and confidence through age appropriate instruction. Covered during the year are color, shape and number recognition, an introduction to number concepts and letter recognition. Your child’s quest for learning will be nurtured through creative play, building friendships, working individually and cooperating as part of a group. These activities promote patience, sharing and the awareness that there is a whole world of people surrounding and supporting them. Songs, stories, activities and games are used for reinforcement and fun.
