Schaumburg Park District invites residents and civic groups to take part in its AdoptA-Park program. Show community pride and civic responsibility by acting as the eyes and ears of the Park District. A sign with the adopting resident’s or civic group’s name will be displayed at the park.

In return, your group will keep the Park District informed of any problems at the park and initiate beautification efforts, including planting flowers and picking up litter. There is no adoption fee. A number of parks are available for adoption. For information, call the Director of Parks and Planning at 847-985-2115.

Monarch Butterfly Waystations

Schaumburg Park District is committed to the conservation of habitats for native plants and wildlife. Monarch Waystations have been established in several parks as demonstrations of this commitment and a way to help the community reconnect with nature.

Each fall, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States and Canada to Mexico. The monarch migration is truly one of the world's greatest natural wonders, yet it is threatened by habitat loss in Mexico and throughout the spring and summer breeding range in North America.

Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration.

Free Program

l l

Any person or group wishing to rent a park or field must fill out a park usage application, available at any recreation building.

Park rental fee is $100 for residents, $150 for non-residents and $25 for in-district civic groups. Fee includes picnic tables at shelter sites.

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 each 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—Rentals are limited. You may bring
