President’s Message

by Robert Schmidt, President, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

The temperatures may be cooler, but we’re warming up to a winter of fun at Schaumburg Park District.

and his elves on Dec. 2 at The North Pole Holiday Spectacular featuring “Christmas Eve’s Magical Toys” (pg. 43).

There’s no better way to get into the holiday spirit than decorating the home. Challenge your neighbors to the Holiday House Decorating Contest! Entry forms are due Dec. 8 at the CRC (pg. 12). Judging takes place Dec. 12 and 13 during the Holiday House Decorating Tour (pg.

12).

Kick off your holiday shopping by visiting two spectacular bazaars offering unique, handcrafted specialty merchandise. The Spring Valley Holiday Bazaar is set for Nov. 25 and 26 and the Schaumburg Park Foundation’s Holiday Bazaar taking place Dec. 5, at the Schaumburg Corporate Center. Both events promote great causes and are ideal destinations for finding that one-of-a-kind gift.

Get on the road to a healthier you in 2018! Take advantage of the many fitness programs and activities designed to keep you moving this winter.

Run to the finish line Dec. 2 in the Chilly Chilly 5K Race (pg. 13) at Schaumburg Golf Club and sample a variety of group fitness classes Jan. 6 at New Year Fit Fest (pg. 58). Take advantage of affordable memberships at any of our three state-of-the-art fitness centers (CRC, MRC, STP) and check out our latest classes, including TRX, Cardio Kick Box and Tabata Boot Camp (pg. 56-60).

Speaking of gift-giving, remember SPD gift cards make perfect stocking stuffers! Gift cards are available for purchase at all facilities and may be used for programs and classes, memberships, massages, personal training services and the golf pro shop.

Make winter break memorable with a variety of fun camps—from Jedi Engineering with LEGO to Way Fun Winter Break Camp at MRC. Way Fun offers field trips, games, swimming and art projects (pg. 18).

As you make your list and check it twice, take time for some family fun at our special events this winter! Santa Claus is “flying” to town Dec. 3 for Santa’s Flight to Schaumburg (pg. 14). Enjoy a breakfast buffet at Schaumburg Airport and watch Santa fly in via helicopter, ready to hear all your holiday wishes! Experience a traditional German-American holiday Dec. 2 and 3 during Christmas in the Valley at Spring Valley’s Merkle Cabin and Volkening Heritage Farm (pg. 14). Santa also will visit with our four-legged friends Dec. 2 at Jingle Paws (pg. 13).

Spring Valley Nature Center also is an excellent location for embracing the peace and serenity of winter. Snowshoe rentals are available Dec. 1, weather permitting (pg. 76). After wrapping up the holiday fun, bundle up and enjoy a weekend of winter activities Jan. 13 and 14 at Spring Valley Winter Fest. The event features winter snacks, crafts, wagon rides and roasting marshmallows over a bonfire (pg. 15).

Whether it’s visiting with friends and loved ones, basking in winter’s beauty or simply celebrating the spirit of the season, Schaumburg Park District has so much to make your days merry and bright this winter!

Can’t make it to see Santa? Have the Big Guy come to you Dec. 5 and 6 when Santa visits resident homes (pg. 14).

Feast on breakfast goodies with another favorite holiday character—the Grinch! Treat your family to a “green inspired” brunch Dec. 9 and enjoy games, crafts and a visit from the Grinch himself (pg. 14).

On behalf of the Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners and dedicated staff, we wish you a joyful holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year!

And don’t miss your chance to shout “Leapin’ Lizards!” when “Annie Jr.” comes Nov. 17-19 to the CRC (pg. 43). Then, sing along with Santa

Northwest Special Recreation Association

Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs The Schaumburg Park District is proud to be a member of the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round programs including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going to new places are just a few of the benefits of NWSRA programs!

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.

Special Leisure Services Foundation, the fundraising arm of NWSRA, partners with public and private corporations, foundations and individuals to support and promote outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, the organization hosts a variety of fundraising events that help support accessible transportation, general programs, inclusion opportunities, the Kevin T. Kendrigan Memorial Scholarship program and NWSRA Lightning Athletes.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation supports the mission of the Schaumburg Park District by raising funds at events and through direct donations. Funds are used primarily to support the Schaumburg Park District’s recreation scholarship program which provides funds for family memberships, programs and events to those who might not otherwise have the financial ability to participate in District activities. The Foundation also supports community-based projects such as the new Bison’s Bluff Nature Playground. For additional information on the Foundation or scholarships, visit SchaumburgParkFoundation.org, or call 847/985-2115.

Schaumburg Golf Club Infrastructure Enhancement Schaumburg Golf Club was purchased by Schaumburg Park District in 1989.

The golf course was originally designed by the firm of Langford and Moreau in the 1920s and modified in the early 1990s. With the Club celebrating a quarter century in operation, the golf course infrastructure is in need of major repairs. Confirmed through soil testing analysis from three independent labs, the infrastructure of the greens and bunkers, i.e. the soil composition, drainage, and irrigation, no longer adapt to varying weather conditions. Because of this, the District has developed a multi-year enhancement plan, which includes new and repositioned bunkers, modifications to the greens, a longer Driving Range with twice the amount of grass tee space, reconfiguration of two holes on the Players Course to alleviate flooding issues, alteration of the size and position of the practice putting greens and improvements to ease additional drainage issues.

Features of the original Langford and Moreau design will be reincorporated into the golf course.

Schaumburg Golf Club #1 Existing

Schaumburg Golf Club #1 Proposed

The Enhancement Plan began in June 2017 and includes three phases. Each 9-hole course will be closed separately, allowing for 18-holes to always be available for play. The projected completion date for the entire project is mid-2020.
