DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Your health and wellness is a number one priority.

We hope you are well. Our entire team continues to prioritize your health and wellness as a number one priority. We also completely understand your feelings if not yet comfortable participating, and we hope to see you when you feel more comfortable participating in our programs.

River Trails 2021 programs rebounded better than we anticipated. We want to thank all the individuals and families who returned to our programs and facilities this last year. We are expecting an even better year coming up. Check out all our opportunities to recreate this winter, especially parkour at The Zone and all the great indoor programming. The park district is looking at a great 2022.

We are looking forward to the Aspen Trails Park renovation, scheduled for Fall 2022. Currently, Aspen Trails playground, tennis, and basketball courts are available for play.

The Village of Mount Prospect has been a fantastic partner in this project. With the $400k grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, this recreation amenities part of this project was less than $400k. The baseball/softball and soccer fields will be closed until next Fall to establish the grass properly. The pool is getting a brand new liner and gutter system.

The construction has started, but we are excited to have this completed in the early spring. We also refinished the Weiss gymnasium floors, including adding lines for Pickleball. And changed to LED lighting, this space looks completely new now. Come check it out!

Upcoming projects: In 2022, we have an entirely new fleet of golf carts coming in, and we are looking to do some course repairs on the bunkers. We have submitted for an OSLAD (Open Space Land Acquisition and Development grant) in hopes we can start to remodel a section of the newly designed Willow Trails Park.

RTPD’s Mission Statement: To responsibly enrich the lives of our diverse community.

Parks and recreation facilities provide social and equity benefits for community members.

According to an analysis of social equity and parks conducted by NPRA, public parks offer equal access to all citizens regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or ability. Parks and recreation facilities can foster community pride, bring people together, create destination-oriented places, and connect people and nature.

The River Trails Park District serves both the Prospect Heights and Mount Prospect communities. Don’t miss any of the fun events, be sure to Like Us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and TikTok; it’s just that easy. These are exciting times at River Trails Park District!

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.

Paramount Theatre

Drury Lane

Based on the classic Bill Murray comedy movie, “Groundhog Day: The Musical” is uproariously funny, and surprisingly touching. For cynical weatherman Phil Connors, it’s a never-ending nightmare to be stuck in a small hick town whose biggest claim to fame is meteorologist groundhog Punxsutawney Phil.

What sounds like an outlandish fantasy becomes an insightful look at discovering what you’re capable of when you finally find the selfless person within, when you lower your defenses and make the most of each day. Imagine being stuck in a time loop -wait, did we already say this?

British tutor Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam struggle with cultural differences after Anna arrives at the royal palace in Bangkok. Inspired by true events, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is a tale of the human experience, exploring the historical intricacies of class, race, and politics in 1862.

Featuring beloved songs like “Shall We Dance?” and “Getting to Know You,” this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic won 13 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical.

“Groundhog Day: The Musical”is full of “fertile and feverish theatrical imagination,” The New York Times raved. Nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Paramount Theatre is beyond proud to present the Midwest regional premiere of this simply inspirational musical comedy.

Evita Based on true events, Evita tells the story of Eva Peron’s rags-to-riches life as she goes from poor provincial child to First Lady of Argentina.

Featuring some of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most iconic songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” this musical masterpiece won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. The 1996 film adaptation was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning for Best Original Song.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Partner Resident Agreement

Our Commitment to Safety

River Trails, Prospect Hts. and Mt. Prospect Park Districts have an agreement to bring more recreational services to our residents. Your property taxes will continue to support only the River Trails Park District. Still, you are entitled to certain additional benefits at the “partner” park districts: Prospect Hts. and Mt. Prospect.

River Trails Park District recognizes the importance of safety for our employees and participants.

Our goal is to develop and carry out an ongoing program where everyone’s health and safety are the most important factors. All employees are directly involved in making safety a matter of continuing concern. With a cooperative spirit, we will be successful and benefit all members of our Park District Community. Adopted by the Board of Park Commissioners 2014.

Except for our partner districts’ golf courses, all programs and facilities are available to you at resident rates. Residents are given first priority when registering for their favorite programs within their home park district.

To take advantage of this outstanding partnership, when registering for programs or purchasing a membership at our partner districts, present valid proof of your name and address with a valid driver’s license or state ID. To find out more about what our partner districts have to offer, please call, visit their website or stop by the Prospect Hts. Park District’s Gary Morava Recreation Center or Mt. Prospect Park District’s RecPlex or Central Community Center.

Volunteer Opportunities The River Trails Park District utilizes volunteers in many areas and special events. Each season, we post an updated listing of opportunities for volunteers to assist with or programs’ success.

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. For additional information on volunteering, please contact Patti Mitchell, Superintendent of Recreation, at 847.255.1200 or pmitchell@rtpd.org. We appreciate your help!

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district programs. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the park district (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program.
