Dear Residents:

While we are excited to release the summer activity guide, we do so knowing uncertainty exists. Cancellations and closures may extend beyond April 30th, but we continue to encourage you to register for upcoming programs with a 100% guarantee you will receive a full refund if we are forced to cancel or reschedule. Updates will be provided on the Park District website, Facebook page and via e-mail. During our closure, we are providing tips and ideas for you and your family to stay happy and healthy during this challenging time. We know how important recreation, sports and fitness are for our residents’ social, emotional and physical wellbeing.

These are trying times for all of us and we know each day brings more uncertainty. We appreciate your flexibility and patience during these trying and unprecedented times and hope you and your family remain safe and healthy.

Erin Folk Executive Director erin@oregonpark.org

Note from Director

Even though we are shutdown, the District is continuing to plan for the future. Construction has resumed at Park West and completion is tentatively scheduled for June. Improvements at Park West will include a fully accessible playground, a larger restroom & shelter building, improved accessibility at the amphitheater, batting cage, new sand volleyball courts, baggo courts, and an outdoor classroom. The final additions to the improvements will be a Yalp Toro court and Sona Arch. Both encourage single or multiplayer interactive games for kids and adults utilizing advanced technology. The Toro Court will be the first to be installed in the United States and the Sona Arch will be the first in Illinois.

GENERAL INFO

Alongside the nation, we have been reeling with the fast-paced turn of events as we manage the pandemic created by the spread of COVID-19. In accordance with Governor Pritzker’s Stay-at-Home order, all park district activities and programs are cancelled, and all facilities and outdoor play spaces are closed through April 30th. The District has also chosen to cancel or postpone all scheduled recreation programming for the month of May as a precautionary measure. Use of Nash Recreation Center will be based on further orders distributed in the coming weeks. The District will continue to follow recommendations set forth by Governor Pritzker, Illinois Department of Public Health and the Center for Disease Control. The best way we can prevent the spread of illness is to stay home, limit public outings and always maintain a six-foot distance from others.

Distinguished Park & Recreation Accredited Agency Oregon Park District is proud to be recognized as an Illinois Distinguished Park and Recreation Accredited Agency, the highest honor a Parks & Recreation Agency in Illinois can receive. The District has held this status since 2009!

Catch the Wave Swim Club structures the program to provide much more than just swimming lessons. Our curriculum, teacher training, evaluation system, and parent communication are all designed to provide a total Aquatic Education. Our primary technique to achieve water safety is to teach all students to comfortably live in the water. When a student truly learns to live in the water, the strokes come easily. We ﬁnd that a child enjoys the lessons, the more successful the learning process is. Therefore, our ﬁrst priority is to create a happy atmosphere.

Athletes tend to be power- and strength-focused, but with tight muscles. Yoga for Athletes assists the athlete to improve flexibility, but also helps to keep athletic bodies balanced & strong. By addressing imbalances in conditioning and yoga poses to realign the body, athletes can improve range of motion and flexibility, boost the mind-body connection which can enhance reaction time, transform your performance and endurance with breathing techniques, & reduce pre-game anxiety, achieve better body awareness and a competitive edge. Whether you are a high school or college athlete, a marathoner, bicyclist, golfer, or swimmer, yoga helps athletes by increasing holistic, organic strength. Yoga also helps create enough flexibility in the muscles and range of motion in the joints so that they can move fluidly.

JOHN DEERE & JUMERS GAMING DAY TRIP

Join us for a trip to Paramount Theatre in Aurora to see a Broadway performance of Kinky Boots! A REGIONAL PREMIERE! This flashy, sassy, sexy story of big heels invading a small town shook Broadway and was universally adored by critics and audiences. Now it’s Paramount’s turn to try these shoes on for size. Charlie Price is a reluctant shoe maker. Lola is a fierce drag queen. These two could not be any more different, but when they find common ground in shoes, they see a whole new world of possibilities open up to them that will turn their small town upside down, and just might save Charlie’s failing shoe factory. Kinky Boots tears up the stage and never lets go. From its glorious costumes to its dizzyingly tall heels and songs you’ll be humming for days, no show on Broadway has captured what it means to do what you love and love what you do as much as Kinky Boots.

Spend time downtown Moline touring the John Deere Pavilion, then shopping, dining, walking by the Mississippi, taking a ride on the Channel Cat Water Taxi, or sampling fine beers at Bent River Brewing Co. on your own.
