PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Fall is just around the corner and the Arlington Heights Park District (AHPD) is excited to unveil our upcoming fall season packed with fun! Mark your calendars and get ready for many exciting activities designed to delight every member of the family.

Prepare to relive cherished traditions like All Hallow’s Eve at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum or Trunk or Treat. This fall also welcomes exciting new additions like Touch-A-Truck and the mind-bending Puzzle Palooza. Dive deeper into these events on pages 8 through 11 of the guide – you won't want to miss them!

AHPD has partnered with the Forest Preserves of Cook County to offer a variety of free nature programs. Head over to page 12 to discover the wonders awaiting you on a nature hike at Lake Arlington or embark on an exploration of other AHPD locations.

Speaking of exciting developments, Phase I of the much-anticipated Recreation Park construction is now underway! We're thrilled to see this project come to life and anticipate its completion in early summer of 2025. Recreation Park Pool is also expected to have normal pool operations during the 2024 and 2025 pool season. While construction on the pool and bathhouse is tentatively scheduled for the end of the season in 2025, AHPD’s goal is to reopen the pool and newly renovated bathhouse by summer 2026. More information regarding the construction timelines will be released on our website and social media when it becomes available.

Get ready to dive into fall with the Arlington Heights Park District – it promises to be an unforgettable season!

As always, we look forward to seeing you in the parks, on the golf courses, in the tennis clubs, recreation centers, museum, playgrounds and ball fields…. where the fun happens in Arlington Heights!

Sincerely,

Maryfran H. Leno

Resident Registration

Tuesday, August 6 at 10AM

Non-Resident Registration

Tuesday, August 13 at 10AM

For insurance purposes, the Park District requires all participants, or legal guardians of minor participants, to sign a waiver before participating in a program. Inperson and mail-in registrants must sign the waiver on the registration form. Online registrants must agree to all waivers when checking out.

• Patrons may not participate in programs if the waiver is not signed and refunds will not be granted.

Refund Policy

Refund requests must be submitted online, and refunds will NOT be issued once a program has ended. All refunds are subject to a $5 administration service fee except under the following circumstances:

• A request due to dissatisfaction that is approved by the program supervisor

• Refunds initiated by the Park District

• A request due to medical issues submitted with a doctor’s note

• Request to refund a particular date within a program that falls on a date that the resident honors as a religious holiday. Participants may either make up the missed class, if space exists, or have the fee pro-rated to reflect the missed date. The program supervisor can assist you with either option.

If you need a special accommodation to participate in any Park District function, please provide details in the Special Accommodation section on the registration form, in the Special Needs inquiry during online registration, or contact Brian Meyer, Director of Recreation and Facilities, at BMeyer@ahpd.org.

It focuses on pickleball basics such as forehand and backhand shots, serving, and court positioning. Players also learn scoring and the rules of the game through drills and playing time. The slower pace of this class gives players the opportunity to develop the skills needed to play this fun and energetic game. All equipment is provided. (MH) Arlington Ridge Center

Aqua Fitness & Water Running

Ditch the harsh pavement, treadmill and gym floors! Our aqua fitness classes offer a lowimpact way to get a full-body workout. We use water resistance (think pool noodles and foam weights) to build strength in your arms, back, shoulders, and core. Deep water classes utilize buoyancy belts for a more supported experience. Choose from high-intensity workouts to get your heart rate pumping or low-intensity options for a gentler exercise. Plus, the water's adjustability makes it perfect for all fitness levels. Water running classes are a fantastic addition to your training program.

All Aqua Fitness classes are an amenity of our ARC Annual memberships; therefore, reservations are required for all classes to ensure this is a member only program.

• These classes are very popular and each class has a specific capacity that coincides with pool size to allow ample room for movement.

• An Annual ARC SPLASHpass or PLUSpass or FITpass is required.

• Details on reserving your class and the full schedule can be found here–www.ahpd.org/programs/aqua-fitness/ or reach out to Angela Neill at 847.577.3029.

SWIM LESSONS

3–5 Years | Junior Swim School

Junior Swim School are 30-minute sessions designed to help children gain confidence in the water independently. Many children will be entering a pool without a parent for the first time, so our instructors' priority is to ensure they feel at ease and comfortable. This process may involve starting with basic tasks such as getting the face and hair wet, before moving on to supported floats, bobs, kick board use, and eventually swimming a short distance without assistance underwater. To end the session on a positive note, our instructors engage the children in a fun game during the last five minutes of the class.

5-9yrs | Swim School

Swim School now offers 40-minute classes, providing more time for repetition and skill development. Swimming is considered a vital lifelong skill, and we believe that repetition is essential for success.

In our group Swim School environment, we aim to motivate your child through progressive levels of instruction. Starting with foundational skills such as correct face and body position, floats, and opening eyes underwater without goggles, your child will advance to learning all swim strokes, treading water in deep areas, dives, and flip turns for those who are interested.

To make learning enjoyable, our instructors incorporate games that utilize swim school skills, and we reserve the last few minutes of each class for fun activities like jumping off the diving boards. Overcoming fears associated with diving boards is an important milestone, and our instructors are present in the water to provide support and guidance, creating a safe and encouraging environment for your child to develop their confidence.

Pop-Up Private Swim Lessons

• An à la carte experience

All Ages

• Designed so you can pick a specific teacher to make your child feel comfortable. Or maybe you have a favorite teacher (an amenity not possible with group swim lessons).

• Perfect for the young child who does not like a group environment for swim lessons.

• 30-minute swim lesson with private oneon-one attention. Accomplish a lot without the distraction of other kids in a group.

• Tell your instructor what you want to work on–or if you’re not sure, we will come up with a plan together. Some people sign their kids up with one goal in mind such as: eliminating fear water, going off diving board for the first time, or swim team strokes/skills/endurance/breathing tips.

• Great compliment to Muskies!

• Parents–put your name on the list for class code 82125 if you’re interested. We will email everyone who signs up for that code when instructors’ schedules begin to POP-UP on our registration portal.

• Residents | $45

• Non-Residents | $68

• Semi-private options available for siblings. Call Angela for details at 847.577.3029

Before your child’s first swimming lesson please review the following by scanning the QR code:

• Refund policy

• Make-up policy

• Swim Lessons Code of Conduct (for everyone’s safety in the water)

• Why we strongly suggest no goggles for beginner swimmers
