Woodridge Park District 2016 Winter Spring Activity Guide

Woodridge Park District

A C TI V IT Y GUID E WINTER 2015 / SPRING 2016

Since the time the Board of Park Commissioners approved the remaining construction contracts in July 2015, a significant amount of work has been completed and is currently in-progress in anticipation of the delivery of the precast concrete wall panels.

Work completed to date includes but is not limited to: demolition, soils remediation, site mass grading, site utilities installation (water service, sanitary and storm sewers), parking lot curb & gutters, site backfilling, parking lot light standard electrical and pole foundations, building concrete foundations, building slab stone subbase, and building underground plumbing and electrical.

Work scheduled for November and December include but is not limited to: parking lot stone subbase, erection of precast concrete wall panels, building structural steel, concrete building slabs (weather permitting), parking lot final stone base and paver installation, and building utilities (electrical and natural gas).

The precast concrete wall panels have been in fabrication at an off-site facility since October. Delivery and erection of the precast walls is tentatively scheduled for mid-November, weather permitting. The precast panels make up approximately 80% of all walls to be constructed; therefore a significant portion of the facility will be erected within the month of November. Work will continue within the building as temperature and weather conditions permit. Once the structure is under roof, the District will have a revised milestone schedule for all remaining construction trades and a better target of a tentative facility opening date.

For construction updates and progress photos please visit the District’s website, www.woodridgeparks.org, and click the ARC quick link on the home page.

WOODRIDGE PARK DISTRICT 2016 WINTER/SPRING ACTIVITY GUIDE

Special Events Road Rally

Looking for an adventure? If so, you are sure to enjoy the challenge of the 30th Annual Road Rally! Grab your neighbors and friends to create a team of 4-6 adults per vehicle. Each group is given a map and a bag of clues, but only teamwork, logic, and luck will keep you on track. Some clues are helpful while others are designed to throw you off course. This exciting, and somewhat physically challenging, four-hour scavenger hunt on wheels will test your mind, body, and teamwork, so put on your thinking caps and start your engines! At the completion of the rally, teams will gather for an awards presentation and socialize at a pizza dinner. This fun-filled event is a cooperative effort of the Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Lisle, Naperville and Woodridge Park Districts, so space is limited. Letters will be e-mailed to each team captain around the first week of April.

By taking a driver safety course you’ll learn the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment.

You’ll learn how you can manage and accommodate common agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

You must attend both days to receive certificate. You may be eligible to receive an insurance discount upon completing the course. Consult with your agent for details.

Yin Yoga Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of times. Yin Yoga poses will allow us to work the deeper tendons, fascia and ligaments with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.

This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

Strength & Bone Density There is scientific evidence that shows the benefits of weight bearing exercise on bone density. We reach peak bone density in our twenties and begin to lose it in our thirties. This is especially true without proper exercise, diet and with a family history of osteoporosis. This class takes you through a wide variety of light weight bearing exercises to help you stay strong and healthy. Our instructor, Jenny Young, holds a Master degree in Exercise Science and conducted her graduate studies on the effects of exercise on bone density. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

It’s a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun. The Zumba® Gold-Toning program combines the enticing world rhythms of the Zumba Gold® program with the strength-training techniques of the Zumba® Toning program, creating an easy-to-follow, health-boosting dance-fitness program for the active older adult as well as beginners. Students who wish to integrate the added benefits of strength training with the exhilarating experience of the Zumba fitness-party will enjoy the Zumba Gold-Toning program. Through modified, dynamic lightweight resistance training, participants can help prevent age-related bone loss, increase muscle strength and definition, decrease body fat and improve mobility, posture, coordination and cognition.

Tae Kwon Do

Shotokan Adult Karate

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Style of combining the hands and feet in a method of unarmed self-defense. Instruction is centered around physical conditioning, a series of patterned movements that develop grace and coordination, and controlled sparring and self-defense practice. Black Belt instructors teach proper technique in these areas, monitor all students practice, and provide a structured teaching environment for students of all ages. Tae Kwon Do can bring out a heightened sense of confidence, physical awareness, and well-being in each and every student. All students begin at the rank of white belt.

To advance to a higher belt or rank, the student must demonstrate his or her abilities at periodic promotional examinations held at Kim’s Black Belt Academy. Note: Uniforms are available through the instructor.

Release tension, develop total body fitness and build stamina and overall productivity! In addition to self-defense skills, karate increases flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and muscle tone, while improving core strength. Uniforms and Belt Testing are options available through the ISKC instructor.

Beginner students will not be permitted to register into the current session after the second class has met. Registration for continuers through advanced students will be accepted after the start date, but the full class fee is required.

GIRLS SOFTBALL SUMMER SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN LEAGUE In an effort to provide an alternative to our 8-10 game in-house program, we are again offering the opportunity to play in the SWS League. The SWS originated from the fact that while many communities offer in-house programs through all age levels, participation at the older levels might often be too low to make an in-houseprogram viable. By combining teams from other communities, participants are able to play a full schedule. The Southwest Suburban league plays an 18-20 game schedule and games are usually split home and away. Some of the other communities include Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Plainfield and Romeoville.

The season starts in late April and runs through July. We will be offering 10U, 12U and 14U teams. Those that have played in the SWS previously will receive priority over those that are new to the program if they register by Monday, February 1.

WOODRIDGE PARK DISTRICT 2016 WINTER/SPRING ACTIVITY GUIDE

Community Please help us watch the parks!

Co-op Facilities

If you see any suspicious activities in progress at a park site, please alert the Police Department immediately at 911. If vandalism has already occurred, please call the Police Department at (630) 719-4740 and notify the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

Woodridge Park District has cooperative agreements with the Darien, Downers Grove, Lisle and Westmont Park Districts to offer cooperative programming at nearby facilities. The Woodridge Park District remains committed to this tradition of cooperation to bring the best possible recreational opportunities to our residents at the lowest possible cost.

The Park District is now sponsoring a program specifically targeting arson prevention through the new Arson Tipster Award Program. The Arson Tipster Program rewards residents for providing information that leads to the arrest of the arson perpetrator or conspirator. All communication between the Woodridge Park District and the Arson Tipster is kept strictly confidential. The Woodridge Park District will not release or disclose any information furnished by the Arson Tipster without the Tipster’s explicit consent and approval. Arson Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward.

To provide a tip or get more information about the Arson Tipster Program, contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

Thank you for helping keep our parks safe and clean.

Memorial Tree Program The Woodridge Park District Memorial Tree program provides residents the opportunity to purchase a tree in memory of a loved one or to honor a special occasion. Your participation in the Memorial Tree program will not only provide a lasting memory, but will also help to beautify our parks and trails. In addition to the tree, a bronze plaque is available and may include the name of the tree, year of dedication, name of person the memorial is for and a brief personalized message.   A Park District staff member will assist in locating the site, choosing the tree, and selecting the wording for the plaque. Planting of the tree can be completed in the spring before May 15 or in the fall before October 15. For more information, contact Ryan Bordewick, Planner and Landscape Designer, at (630) 353-3300.

Waterfowl Concerns Regular feeding of waterfowl can cause dependency on people for food, bird and people conflicts, and the spread of disease. Please refrain from feeding the birds at Lake Carleton and Lake Harriet along with other lakes in the area. The waterfowl have become used to handouts and no longer migrate south in the winter. The once wild birds have become tame and have lost their fear of cars and people, which can lead to traffic problems and possible injury. With the growing populations of waterfowl in small concentrated areas, the competition for food is high.

The less nutritious handouts and harsh weather increase their susceptibility to life threatening diseases. We ask that you please do not feed the waterfowl. Thank you for your support. For more information, please contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

WOODRIDGE PARK DISTRICT 2016 WINTER/SPRING ACTIVITY GUIDE

Information Satisfaction Guaranteed and Refund Procedure The Woodridge Park District offers a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” Policy for all of our recreation programs! (Trips, summer day camps, pool passes and one-day events excluded).

We are committed to giving the residents of Woodridge quality programs at reasonable prices, and we are prepared to stand behind the programs we offer. If you are not completely satisfied with the program after attending two classes, stop by the Community Center before the third meeting to fill out an “unsatisfied” refund form. We will invite you to repeat a class at no charge, receive a credit toward another program in the session, or receive a full refund (minus $5 administrative charge).

No refund will be granted after the third meeting of the program or after 50% of the classes have been held (whichever is earlier) with the exception of a written medical excuse prior to completion of the program. A $5 administrative charge will be deducted from the amount of refund for each program, including refunds for medical reasons. Medical excuses will result in a pro-rated refund based upon the number of classes held prior to the date listed on the physician’s excuse. No refunds will be given for a trip unless there is a replacement participant or the trip is cancelled. The Park District does reserve the right to cancel a program if the enrollment is not sufficient to justify sponsorship of the activity. Participants will receive a phone call and the option of a refund or leaving the balance on their account.We ask for your feedback to help us serve our residents to the best of our ability and to achieve our goal to make this the most cooperative, public accessible park district in the state.
