DIRECTOR’S LETTER Dear River Trails Residents, dedicated golf team is preparing for yet another successful season. The course continues to look and play exceptionally well, and we invite you to come out and enjoy it.

Summer is here, and with it comes one of the most exciting times of the year at River Trails Park District. Our pools, summer camps, events, parks, and picnic areas will be bustling, and our Parks and Facilities team has been working diligently to ensure you, your family, and your friends have an amazing experience all season long.

Beyond all the summer fun, we are also looking ahead to the future of our parks. We are currently in the midst of master planning for both Sycamore Trails Park and Woodland Trails Park. These projects are progressing well, thanks in large part to the incredible community input we’ve received and the creative vision brought forward by JSD Landscape Architects.

We are planning to submit at least one of these projects for an OSLAD grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. If awarded, construction could begin as early as 2027.

We are especially excited to welcome campers back for another great summer. Our camp staff can’t wait to see your youngsters and create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for everyone. At the pool, our aquatic team continues to set the standard for safety and excellence, once again earning high recognition from Ellis & Associates. We’re looking forward to another fantastic season in the water.

While summer may be a short season, it’s truly one of the most enjoyable. We encourage you to get outside, explore our parks and trails, attend our many events, take a dip in the pool, and make lasting memories with family and friends.

You may have noticed that The Zone Parkour program is now fully operated by the Park District. Since taking over programming at the end of 2025, we’ve seen significant improvements in instruction and training.

Summer is the perfect time to schedule an event or try something new at The Zone.

Thank you for being such an important part of the River Trails community. We look forward to seeing you out in the parks this summer.

At Rob Roy Golf Course, we’re building on another outstanding year. With three consecutive years of improved rounds and course conditions since resuming course management, our

RTPD’s Vision Statement To become the recreational choice in everything you do.

Bret Fahnstrom, CPRE Executive Director

River Trails Park District | Board of Commissioners We invite you to learn more about your park district by attending the Board meetings.

EARLY CHILDHOOD & PRESCHOOL

Trail Blazers

Preschool Philosophy

O

ur Trail Blazers program is a developmentally appropriate program designed to help children grow and learn in a stimulating and nurturing environment. We look at the ‘whole child’ including intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative growth. Children develop differently in each space so the curriculum is carefully planned to include activities that help each child learn and grow in all areas. Children will be introduced to the basic academic and social skills of preschool and will be encouraged to develop problem–solving skills, self–confidence and creativity. Activities will include math, science, language skills, art, motor movement, music and dramatic play. All areas of each child’s growth are important and we provide opportunities for intellectual, social, physical and creative growth. Activities are presented in individual, group, structured and unstructured settings and Jolly Phonics curriculum is used for kindergarten readiness. Our goal is for each child to develop a love of learning, tools to continue to learn and a positive image of himself or herself.

GENERAL INFORMATION Partner Resident Agreement River Trails, Prospect Heights and Mt. Prospect Park Districts, through our cooperative “three–for–one” agreement, all programs and most facilities offered by the park districts are available to anyone living within each of the three park district boundaries. A resident of any of the three districts is also considered a Partner Resident of the other two park districts and is therefore able to enroll in classes or programs at resident rates. Golf Courses will have a Partner Rate Mon–Fri only payment tier. Although the agreement may result in an increase in the number of potential users, each park district will continue to maintain its individual identity and utilize monies available to it at present tax rates. Residents always receive priority registration within their “home district” while enjoying the added benefit of enrolling in a “partner district’s” class or program at resident rates.

Volunteer Opportunities The River Trails Park District utilizes volunteers in many areas and special events. All prospective volunteers must complete and submit a volunteer application, waiver, and release form. If you are selected to be a volunteer, you are required to complete a Criminal Background Check.
