PRESIDENT'S 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!
You may have noticed that our cover highlights the District’s 100th Anniversary. On June 9, 2025, AHPD will proudly mark a century of service to the community. To celebrate, we have an exciting year of events planned for you and your family and we invite you to help us kick off this milestone at Picnic in the Park on June 13. For a sneak peek about the anniversary, check out pages 6-7 with more details to come as we approach the summer. We look forward to continuing our growth and adaptability alongside the community, providing exceptional recreational opportunities for years to come.
The Park Board of Commissioners is excited to share Recreation Park updates and another capital project update with you:
Recreation Park
• Phase 1 of the outdoor improvements at Recreation Park is expected to be completed by summer. Significant progress was made during the fall and we are excited to see this phase finished as it marks the beginning of several exciting upgrades to the park. Stay tuned for grand opening details!
• Updated concept plans are now available on our website for Recreation Park community center, bathhouse and pool. We would like to thank our residents, staff and architects for their contributions to this project. Construction is expected to begin in late summer/early fall. Watch our website as the project progresses!
Centennial Park
We are pleased to share that in December, Governor Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced that AHPD has been awarded a $600,000 Open Space Land Acquisition and Development Grant for a major revitalization project at Centennial Park. The initiative will enhance the park with the following upgrades:
• Updated fishing pier and overlook
• A new playground
• New outdoor fitness equipment
• A new shelter
• New game tables
• Improved ballfields
• Enhanced pathways and seating areas
Thank you to Governor Pritzker, our legislators, the IDNR and our residents for their efforts in helping to secure this critical funding! This marks AHPD's third OSLAD grant in the past three years, bringing the total funding to over $1.5 million for our community.
The summer at AHPD is filled with a wide range of special events and programs! A Weekend of Fun returns in August with Irish Fest, Heritage Fest and BBQ, Bands and Brews as well as our series of free, pop-up events throughout the summer, Plan to Play Every Day. You can find information about these and more special events on the upcoming pages.
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!

6 | AHPD 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Celebrating 100 Years
June 9, 2025 marks the Arlington Heights Park District's 100th year anniversary. We are proud to share and celebrate this important milestone with our residents from June 2025 through May 2026.
The Arlington Heights Park District’s mission is to enrich the community by providing quality recreation, facilities and fun.
We do this by:
• Ensuring the efficient and effective use of financial resources and Park District assets.
• Providing innovative recreational opportunities and facilities to meet the diverse programming needs of our community.
• Continuing the District’s pursuit of being a community, regional, state and national leader.
• Promoting an environment of cooperation, collaboration and teamwork.
• Providing quality internal and external customer-focused service.
• Providing stewardship of our open spaces and natural resources.
Over the past 100 years, the Arlington Heights Park District has reached countless milestones. Let's journey back to where it all began!
The foundation of the Arlington Heights Park District was laid when residents approved its formation through a referendum on June 9, 1925. Just days later, on June 18, the first Park Board meeting was held with Commissioners Nathaniel Banta, Henry Klehm, Eugene Berbecker, Albert Volz, and Julius D. Flentie.
The Arlington Heights Park District (AHPD) has a rich history of growth and community impact. Early acquisitions included Memorial Park and leased land along railroad tracks, with the first tax levy in 1926 raising $1,335.72. By 1931, bonds funded land development, and in 1939, the WPA-supported Recreation Park Pool and Field House opened.
The 1950s saw expanded programming, and a 1955 referendum secured $675,000 for land acquisition, including Pioneer Park. Rapid population growth in the 1960s led to three major bond referendums, funding facilities like Hasbrook Park, community centers, pools, and Arlington Lakes Golf Club. In 1971, a survey highlighted interest in indoor facilities, resulting in Forest View Tennis Club (1973). Financial challenges in the mid-1970s led to a "Save the Parks" referendum, helping sustain operations.
The 1980s focused on maintenance and earned AHPD its first National Gold Medal. The district acquired North School in 1987, now its Administration Building, and launched the "Children at Play" (CAP) program in 1989. The 1990s brought expansion, including Lake Arlington programming, Nickol Knoll Park, and Senior Center activities.
Since 2000, AHPD has secured over $10 million in grants, funding projects like pool renovations and community center upgrades. Major initiatives include the Arlington Ridge Center (formerly Olympic Park) and upcoming developments guided by the 2024 Comprehensive Plan.

3-5 years | Junior Swim School
No parent in water
30 minutes-group lessons
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.
5-12 Years | Swim School
40 minutes
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.
Water Babies
Water Babies will be drop-in this summer and will require a punch card.

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 plays seven regular season games, followed by a single elimination playoff based on regular season standings.
