President’s Message

by Sharon DiMaria, President, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

It’s the time of year when days are starting to get a little longer, flowers are blooming and fun programs and activities are sprouting at the Schaumburg Park District!

What better way to kick off spring than unveiling a brand-new playground designed to inspire active, creative outdoor play? Bison’s Bluff Grand Opening is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 22, at Spring Valley Nature Center. The grand opening also coincides with the celebration of Earth Day! Unique features of this exciting attraction include climbing structures, a meandering shallow stream, an artistic area where children may create with mud, sand and other natural materials, a musical area, hidden nooks and a sand and water play section.

Spring marks the arrival of highly-anticipated Bunny-themed events, including Bunny Bash on April 8, Bunny Visits on April 4 and Underwater EGGstravaganza on April 13 at The Water Works (pg. 13).

Families also may get into the “spring” of things with Family Egg Decorating Night on April 6 (pg. 12) and Family Fun Night on April 7 at The Sport Center (pg. 13). Join School District 54 in celebrating the community May 6 at Multicultural Fest (pg. 14) and cruise through Schaumburg May 21 with the Fahrrad Tour Von Schaumburg Bike Ride & Picnic (pg.15), organized with the Village of Schaumburg.

Recharge and relax as the weather warms up by visiting Spring Valley (pgs. 70-71). More than 135 acres of prairies, woodlands and wetlands are waiting to be explored, with a historic German farm experience available at Volkening Heritage Farm.

Take time to enjoy the many programs and special events at Spring Valley, including the annual Sugar Bush Fair March 18 and 19 (pg. 12) and Springtime on the Farm April 23 (pg.14). Youngsters will develop a love of nature through programs such as Breakfast with the Birds (pg. 73), new offerings such as Bunny Tracks (pg. 74) and Pioneer Pancakes (pg. 75). Be sure to get a head start on spring planting at the Backyards for Nature Fair and Native Plant Sale on May 21 (pg. 15)!

Tee up for the season at the 27-hole Schaumburg Golf Club (pgs. 6062) and the nine-hole Walnut Greens Golf Course (pgs. 63-64). April showers might bring May flowers, but don’t let them stop you from golfing. Play more than 40 world-class courses rain or shine at the Schaumburg Golf Club’s new indoor simulators (pg. 61).

Enjoy tea parties, music, active fun and more at the District’s many Early Childhood programs. Children may bring their favorite dolls to the Dolly and Me Royal Tea, (pg. 48), learn a new language during French for You! (pg. 48) and dance to the music during Kid Rock classes (pgs. 45 & 48) or Kindermusik (pgs. 46 & 48).

Spring also is an ideal time to revamp your workout routine. From Indoor Cycling and TRX to Pound: Drumming Extreme and Yoga Sculpt, a variety of the latest fitness classes are available to meet your health and wellness needs. The Community Recreation Center is a great place to start. Renovated in 2015, the CRC recently won the Illinois Park & Recreation Association’s Outstanding Park & Facility Award. The award is given to public agencies for exceptional and unique achievements in design and development. Discover the District’s numerous fitness options in the Fitness section (pgs. 53-57).

Schaumburg Idol (pg. 40) is back! Local singers will have an opportunity to showcase their talents at this annual competition.

Auditions are April 27, with tapings beginning in June.

As spring takes us into summer, remember to save the date for the Schaumburg Park Foundation’s popular Solstice Hop & Vine Fest (pg. 2)! Enjoy a night of wine, beer and fabulous eats June 17 at Meineke Park. Tickets are on sale now at Active.net. Proceeds benefit recreation scholarships and other Foundation projects.

Keep up with the latest District news by visiting ParkFun.com. Have a happy and active spring!

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 program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going 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 communitybased projects such as the renovation of the museum at Spring Valley Nature Center. For additional information on the Foundation or scholarships, visit SchaumburgParkFoundation.org, or call 847/985-2115.

Give us two hours and we’ll teach you and your family to defend yourselves!

Originally certified by the State of Illinois to teach police officers, it’s one of the easiest to learn and most effective self-defense classes you may take. The techniques we teach will stop an attacker immediately; don’t require constant practice or years of training to master and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. You’ll learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and to defend yourself if needed at work, home, dating, when traveling, and more. Lessons include defenses against armed/ unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing/ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. Participants also receive a Personal Safety Guide to help make you and your family safer in all areas of your lives. The class is targeted at teens and adults, but 8-11 year olds may sign up and take the class with an adult.

This class could save your life!

FootGolf is an exciting sport available at Walnut Greens Golf Course. It combines traditional golf with the sport of soccer. The goal of FootGolf is the same as traditional golf. Players try to kick a soccer ball into a 21” hole in the least amount of kicks. The player with the lowest combined score at the end of the round wins. 9 holes of FootGolf will be played following a similar layout to golf. Unlike many sports, FootGolf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of their competitiveness.

FootGolf Rates and Schedule: • 9 Holes:........................... $11 • 9 Hole Cart:.................... $8 per rider • Soccer Ball Rental:........... $5 *Bring your own soccer balls. Rentals are limited.

Open play is available Monday-Friday and after 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact the Golf Shop 847/490-7878 to schedule a starting time and mention that you’re playing FootGolf.

Shakespeare In Love and Dinner

The Oscar-winning romantic comedy about Shakespeare and his Chamberlain’s Men returns to its rightful home­—the stage. Imagine a young playwright on the make struggling to write his new tragic love story, Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate’s Daughter. The title just doesn’t have the right ring and young Will Shakespeare knows it. He’s got writer’s block and must do something quickly. Will needs a muse, and he finds one in Viola, a vivacious beauty who will do anything— even disguise herself as a man—to audition for the stage where no women are permitted to perform. Once revealed, the torrid affair begins, inspiring the completion of the most romantic tragedy ever penned. Dinner is included.
