PRESIDENTS LETTER

Get ready for an unforgettable summer at the Arlington Heights Park District! There is so much fun to be had and on behalf of the Park Board of Commissioners, we are excited to see so many of you at our pools, special events, playgrounds and so much more!

Earlier this year, AHPD received two grants for the Recreation Park Project! The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced that the Arlington Heights Park District has been selected as one of the 12 recipients for the Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act (PARC) grant! The grant, totaling $2.8 million, will be allocated towards enhancements at the Recreation Park facility including improved accessibility, while preserving the original façade of a well-loved WPA building. The project also will complete removal of the current 50-meter swimming pool and subsequent replacement with a new 50-meter swimming pool, along with updates to the children's aquatic area and additional accessible green space for pool users.

AHPD has also been awarded a second $600,000 OSLAD Grant for Phase II of the Recreation Park Project. Phase II includes improvements to the ballfield, basketball court and pathways as well as additions of various table games and a shelter. AHPD received the first $600,000 OSLAD Grant in March of 2023 for Phase I. This brings our grant total, for the three grants we have been awarded for this property, to $4M. Thank you to Governor Pritzker, our legislators and the IDNR for their efforts in securing funding to create a vibrant, inclusive space where families, friends and neighbors can come together to PLAY. We’d also like to thank our residents for their enormous amount of community support. Learn more about these exciting projects and stay up to date on the progress at ahpd.org.

Our summer calendar is filled with a wide range of special events and programs! Additional details regarding these events can be found in the upcoming pages but I would like to highlight a few noteworthy examples. "Movies and More at The Course" on July 19 will feature Happy Gilmore, and in August, the Arlington Heights Historical Museum will host a weekend of entertainment, including the highly anticipated Irish Fest, Heritage Fest and BBQ, Bands, and Brews.

I am pleased to announce that AHPD will be launching a series of pop-up events throughout the summer, Plan to Play Every Day! The dates, times, and activities for these events will vary but we hope you’re prepared to visit parks and facilities all over the District!

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

Sincerely,

Maryfran H. Leno Arlington Heights Park District Board President

PROGRAMS FOR ALL

Back to School Self-Esteem & Leadership Lab

Summer is ending and kids will soon be headed back to school. As you stock up on the school supplies, don’t forget self-esteem and leadership! While building these skills is a lifelong journey, this workshop is a great kick-off. Everyone is good at something, we just have to roll up our sleeves and figure it out. Through wacky dramatizations and experiences, kids will have the chance to cultivate self-worth and will not even realize they are working on it! Interactive games include: Resilient Rubber bands, Splat Ball Scatter, Lollipop Marathon, King’s Throne, Balloon Bust, Whirling Confetti Storm, Money Mania, Compliment Café, and more! Kid’s emotional “buckets” will get filled and will likely be overflowing with confidence when they depart this class. (EO)

Self-Esteem Through Comedy, A Hilarious Experience

It’s been a long school year–let’s get laughing! Humor really can make the world a better place. Through close observation and lab experimentation, this high-energy comedy class offers electrifying lessons on humor, such as impersonations, healthy gag humor, slapstick, comic strips, improv, character voices, ventriloquism, and witty situational. Whether your child is naturally funny or not, they have the opportunity to develop and execute comedic skills, gain a higher sense of selfesteem and perhaps learn to use humor in a social setting to be friendlier. They will also understand when comedy is taken TOO far in life. In a world immersed in technology where everyone is looking down at a phone or tablet, children could benefit from a healthy dose of interaction and comedy! All kids leave with a humor themed souvenir. (EO)

Also, explore the science of the amusement park treat, Dippin’ Dots and the first novelty ice cream treat on a stick. Then sit down for the most outrageous ice cream eating contest in town. Did anyone say BRAIN FREEZE? Who will be crowned King or Queen? This is a child’s dream class and all about putting the fun back into learning and building self-esteem.

SWIM LESSONS

NEW for Summer 2024–there are TWO options:

Option #1: PUNCH CARD

Drop in to the following classes:

We're excited to pilot a punch card option! A limited quantity of the punch cards will be available for purchase. If you’re one of the first to pay for a punch card–the Water Babies class you attend will be determined by…your baby!! We understand that committing to sessions with specific class dates is not ideal for you and your baby when you’re also navigating a new adventure with your little one. This allows you to attend any class listed on the schedule, last minute. There are only a limited number of punch cards being sold for participants who want to “drop-in” to any class on the schedule. If the punch cards are sold out, you can still reserve a spot in class (see below). However, you won’t have the flexibility to attend any class on the schedule other than the class you’re registered for.

Pilot Punch Card—How it works:

• Sign up with the class code below to purchase your punch pass.

• On the first class you decide to attend you will pick up your punch pass with the Recreation Pool cashier.

• Each time you come to class our cashier at Recreation Pool will punch one hole for your baby. No holes are punched for parents.

• You can use your punch card at any class on the schedule.

• Take one class a week–or take 4 classes in one week–it’s up to you (or your baby).

• Text a neighbor or friend–drop in last minute together then picnic in the playground after class!

WATER BABIES PUNCH CARD OPTIONS

One hole will be punched for each child. Holes are not punched for parents. No refunds for unused punches.

All punch cards valid for our summer 2024 swim lesson season. Unused punches can not be carried over to future park district programming seasons.

Use your punch card at any of these classes. All classes at Recreation Pool. Rain or Shine. Only people who buy a punch card can "drop-in" with no reservation.

Option #2

Sign up for specific session(s) how you have in the past, and how we operate Swim School and Junior Swim School. Session class codes are on the following pages on the grids.

Structure of Class:

Parent(s) in water with child.

Introduce your baby to a body of water bigger than the kitchen sink or bathtub! Everyone begins class together with an opening song. Instructor will divide class in half based on age and size of baby, if needed. Instructor introduces/demos a skill for each group. Parents work on skills and the instructor will move about class and offer tips/corrections to parents. We will come together as one group for songs several times in class. These classes are very popular and always a great way to meet new pool buddies in your neighborhood. Crying and screaming is perfectly normal and welcome! This class is the perfect opportunity to familiarize your baby with the pool before your first family open swim or vacation.

Depending on age and size, swimmers will work on:

• how to hold your baby in water for each skill

• floats

• kicks

• underwater exposure (if desired)

• “jump” in from sitting (for our older babies)

• blowing bubbles

• bobs

• toys provided

Be on the lookout for possible POPUP sessions running in August!

2-1/2 – 5 years - Junior Swim School

No parent in water. 30 min. For most – it’s the first time a child enters a pool without a parent so we begin by making your child feel comfortable. This may look like simply focusing on getting the face and hair wet at first, which can be scary for some. Then progressing through supported floats, bobs, kick board use, and eventually swimming 3 yards with no assistance under water. Last five minutes of class – our instructors play a game. NO GOGGLES PLEASE. Scan QR code at the bottom of this page to learn more.

5-9yrs – Swim School

40 min. – NEW! Swim School is 10 minutes longer than summer 2023. More time for repetition. “Swimming is a lifelong skill. Repetition is critical for success.” A 40-minute class will also increase and promote positive conditioning of your child’s endurance for other sports and activities outside of the pool.

Swim School is a group environment to motivate your child. Our first level begins with correct face and body position, floats, and opening eyes underwater without goggles. Your child will then progress through levels where all the swim strokes are introduced and eventually work towards treading in deep water (an essential life skill), dives, and flip turns (if desired). The instructor typically plays a game using swim school skills or we have fun jumping off the diving boards for the last 5 minutes. Regarding diving boards: Swim School is the perfect time for your child to push past any fears they may have going of the diving board for the first time. We have an instructor in the water to boost confidence. This is an amenity not possible during open swim.

Before your child’s first swimming lesson please review the following by scanning the QR code on this page to learn more.

• 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

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 Interpark Swim Team!

• Parents–put your name on the list for class code 79551 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

ADULT LEAGUES

The Park District offers adult leagues at a variety of competitive levels to accommodate players and teams with a range of recreational interests and abilities. All players must be 18 years or older.

Registration

One player registers an entire team and all fees are due at registration. Register for your preferred level and, if that level is full, register for the waitlist. Do NOT register for the wrong competitive level to get into a league. If you are a player looking to join a team, please contact the league supervisor.

Bracketing and Scheduling

Once registration closes, brackets and season schedules are created. Final brackets are determined by a variety of factors including, the number of teams registered and past season records.

• We try our best to evenly assign game time slots and cannot accommodate special schedule requests.

• Once schedules are finalized, we will email a schedule link, season information and team roster/waiver instructions to the captain.

Rosters and Waivers

Your team roster also serves as the individual waiver for all players and a new roster with all players’ signatures must be submitted before the start of your first game EVERY season.

Adult Basketball Leagues

Games are played on Thursday evenings. Each team will play 7 regular season games, followed by a single elimination playoff based on regular season standings. Awards are paid out to the winners of the regular season and playoffs.

Please note: If we have an uneven number of teams registered, teams may be required to play more than one game in a night.

Long Grove’s Quiet Hero: The Other Story Hiding in Plain Site in the Muller House Parlor

Hanging in the parlor of the Muller house at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum is an ornate framed document. It was only noted in previous iterations of the museum’s interpretive manual as one of “two patriotic prints” in this room. However, this certificate tells a much more interesting and involved story. It is worth a deeper look come learn about Charles Bollenbach and his experience as a solider in the Civil War.
