AHPD Winter Spring 2025

Exciting New Adult Programs Are Here!

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

I always look forward to the Winter & Spring Program Guide because there’s so many exciting updates to share with you! AHPD has been incredibly busy over the last couple of months making Arlington Heights an even better place to live and play.

The Park Board of Commissioners is excited to share Recreation Park and several capital project updates with you.

Recreation Park Updates:

• Recreation Park Phase I construction began in late summer of 2024. This phase includes improvements to the park including building an accessible playground for all abilities, outdoor fitness equipment, new tennis courts and more. AHPD anticipates Phase I substantial completion early summer 2025.

• The Recreation Park pool, bathhouse and community center project is progressing through design and schematic phases. Stay tuned on our website and social media for updated concept plans, which include retaining the community center and replacing the old bathhouse with a new one. Construction is anticipated to begin early August 2025 with hopeful plans to reopen at the start of the 2026 outdoor pool season.

Capital Projects Updates:

• Sport Court Replacements: Heritage Park tennis and basketball courts, basketball courts at Evergreen Park and Virginia Terrace Park and Creekside tennis/pickleball courts were replaced.

• Shoreline Stabilization: Restoration along the shoreline at Lake Terramere included stabilization, natural area plantings and pollinator habitats. The shorelines along Arlington Lakes Golf Club ponds were also completed.

• Playgrounds: Happiness Park ship-themed playground reopened in June and Prairie Park farm-themed playground reopened in October.

• Bocce Ball Courts at Sunset Meadows: Artificial turf was installed to enhance the user experience.

• Color Coating: Banta basketball courts and Forest View and Heritage Tennis Club indoor tennis courts were color coated and resealed.

• Sound Panels: Green Slopes Park pickleball courts installed sound attenuation panels to buffer sound.

• Paths: The trails at Willow Park and the paths at Arlington Lakes Golf Club have undergone crack repair and repaving. Additionally, the pathways at Melas Park and Nickol Knoll Golf Club have also been repaved.

Our Capital Projects page on the website is regularly updated with the latest progress and information. Be sure to take a look!

Other News from the Park District:

• AHPD has once again received the “Best Park District” recognition by the Daily Herald’s Readers’ Choice award program.

• AHPD and the Arlington Heights Memorial Library won an Illinois Association of Park Districts Best of the Best Award for Best Intergovernmental Cooperation for our continued partnership on various community initiatives.

• The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Arlington Heights Park District for the 23rd consecutive year.

Thank you to our residents for your continued support of the Park District over the last 99 years! We look forward to celebrating our 100th Anniversary with you and your families kicking off in June 2025.

We hope that we will see you at our festive holiday special events, skating at the outdoor ice rinks, racing down the sled hills in the colder months and enjoying the parks, courts and playgrounds in the spring.

Sincerely,

Maryfran H. Leno

We strive to prepare children for kindergarten. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten.

Aqua Fitness & Water Running

Ditch the harsh pavement, treadmill and gym floors! Our aqua fitness classes offer a low-impact way to get a full-body workout. We use water resistance (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 highintensity 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 classes 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.

5-9 Years | 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 85706 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

We're looking for items from both the past and present that capture the spirit of AHPD.

Think you have something special to contribute?

We'd love to hear from you! Please contact Stephanie Lee, the Museum Curator, at slee@ahpd.org. Stephanie can discuss your potential loan and see if it would be a good fit for the exhibit. Together, let's celebrate 100 years of AHPD!
