Board of Park Commissioners

President’s Message

By Mike Daniels, President, Board of Park Commissioners Have you taken time for fun today?

As we enter our 51st year providing quality parks, recreation programs and fitness opportunities to Park District residents, we’re encouraging the community to remember something that often ends up on the bottom of our busy “to do” lists. Have fun!

You’ll see the colorful “Take Time for Fun” logo in facilities and on publications, WSPD-TV and our websites. We hope you enjoy this lighthearted campaign, and make it your mantra for having a wonderful time.

Mike Daniels President

And do we have opportunities for fun this spring. Swing into golf. Learn to swim. Become your personal best with a trainer. Enjoy family events. Take a senior trip. Act. Run. Play piano. Take a nature walk. The choices are vast.

An abundance of new programs are on the way! A new multi-sports program will teach children a new sport each week, and Diaper Derby will have parents and tots competing in a crawling race and stroller obstacle course.

New fitness programs include track, balloon ball, Zumbini and Aquatic Therapy (which also are great ways to train for the Home Run 5K and Triathlon/Duathlon).

Sharon DiMaria Commissioner

Golf courses will open for the season. Opening day is weather-dependent, but the courses are usually hopping by early April. Whether you are a beginner, duffer or accomplished hitter, the 27-hole Schaumburg Golf Club and nine-hole Walnut Greens provide challenge among beautiful scenery. Want to tune up your game going into summer? The Academy at SGC offers group lessons, a player development series, adult group instruction and a junior golf program. Want your child to learn golf? Bring juniors for instruction at Walnut Greens!

After your golf game, head to the 19th hole at the newly renovated Chandler’s Chophouse Grille. The attractive restaurant reopens in mid-March and is a great stop for après golf, or a great meal out with friends and family.

Spring Valley is quite a sight as the prairie comes to life. Take a stroll through the nature center, and greet the Heritage Farm animals. New programming at Spring Valley features worms, heirloom vegetables and gardening.

Popular returning programs include Peonies Aplenty, Springtime on the Farm, Backyards for Nature Fair and the Sunset Fire and Picnic on the Prairie.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation’s wildly popular Solstice Hop and Vine Fest is back again June 21. We’re marking the first time this event is actually ON the Solstice. Tickets go on sale April 1 at schaumburgparkfoundation.org. The event always sells out, so mark your calendar to get your tickets early.

David Johnson Commissioner

It wouldn’t be spring without the Bunny! Everyone’s favorite hopping friend stops into Schaumburg at the April 12 Bunny Bash, makes resident home visits April 15 and swims with kids during the egg hunts at the April 17 Underwater EGGstravaganza at The Water Works.

Kid-centric special events include the March 2 Dr. Seuss Birthday Party featuring classic stories and birthday snacks, a shamrock hunt at the March 16 Shamrock Scramble and the new Spring into Fun at Safety Park on April 27.

George Longmeyer Commissioner

Be sure to take a few minutes to plan ahead for summer. Our annual camps guide is included with this edition of the brochure. Register early because camps fill quickly.

Have a great spring.

NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more.

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. 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. Park District staff will contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation.

Catch on! Balloon ball is played like soccer with kids being allowed to pick up the ball and run with it, or throw it, or kick it in one of the two goals for a score. The action is a bit faster, with few rules than soccer so kids are not being corrected as much in this new fast pace game.

Kids will be taught coordination and balance along with the importance of exercise that their bodies need. Kids just love this new game that was created

by Kids First.
