Today, the idea of not knowing where your kids are or who they’re with isn’t something that most of us find comforting. Not knowing, period is a somewhat uncomfortable feeling that many of us would rather avoid.

Earlier this year, in March, the Park District was faced with not knowing the outcomes of two issues; The first was not knowing whether or not voters would approve a $48 million bond referendum and the second was not knowing what the future of the Arlington Aces soccer program would look like as a result of the changes in the leadership of our soccer coaches and trainers.

On behalf of the Park District, thanks to everyone who participated in the referendum meetings and in various other forums throughout the community. We appreciate your input and your passion. Thanks also to all who voted on March 20th. The democratic process is certainly alive and invigorating to see. As mentioned at the neighborhood community meetings, the Park District is the proud recipient of a $2.5 million grant for improvements to the Camelot Park Community Center. Look for discussions and work on this to begin soon. As for the remainder of the projects, please know that the Board of Commissioners will resume a dialogue with the community on how best to meet the recreational needs of all residents in the future.

As many of you know the Park District recently established a new vision and organizational plan for the Arlington Aces soccer program. We are thrilled to have Dwayne Cruz, our new Director of Soccer and his staff of highly professional and skilled coaches and trainers, working directly with the soccer players and their families. More information about the fall season will be available on our website as it is confirmed.

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, there is a delicate breeze, and the birds are singing. I wish you many of these days with your family and friends and I am certain you can enjoy a rejuvenating summer at one of the wonderful parks, neighborhood pools and events offered at the Arlington Heights Park District this summer.

A Letter from the president

Maryfran H. Leno

Remember when summer meant watching cartoons in the morning, roaming the neighborhood all day and going back home when the streetlights turned on? Each day held a new adventure and you never knew quite where you and your two best friends would ride off to on your bikes and scooters. Half the fun we had when we were young came from the uncertainty of each day and the excitement of not knowing what we were going to do that day.

Program guide delivery What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?

The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.

We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. Listed below are the delivery dates for Fall 2012 through Summer 2013, please mark your calendars.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

Guide Delivery Date (Saturdays) Fall 2012 July 21, 2012 Winter 2013 November 17, 2012 Spring 2013 January 26, 2013 Summer 2013 April, 20, 2013

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353.

There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents.

• The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days.

• Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days.

• Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway.

There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view the the new interactive guide online at ahpd.org. You may also print the guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page.

We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Have You Moved or Changed Your Phone Number? Please notify the Park District with your change of address or phone number. Send us a change of address card from the post office.

We will need your old address and the new address to update our computer information. It is important to update our records so that confirmation post cards and your refunds are mailed to the most current address. This is especially important for online registration.

Cicada Wasps in the Parks In 2009 the Arlington Heights Park District became all too familiar with Sphecius speciosus. What is Sphecius speciosus?

Better known as, (and it sounds worse than it is) Cicada Killer Wasp. Cicada Killer Wasps are, in fact quite harmless. They are most commonly confused with European hornets. The most visible of these are the males, which cannot sting. Although the males may appear to be aggressive or chase you, they are probably just trying to orient themselves because you are a new large object in their habitat.

Female Cicada Killer Wasps can sting, but seldom do. A scale of sting pain developed by biologists for rating the intensity of stings ranges from 0 to 4 (0 being the least pain and 4 the most pain). The female sting is between 0 and 1 on that scale. Those who may be allergic still need to take the same caution they normally do. The Arlington Heights Park District has tried several methods of control including removing sections of soil and sand and replacing with new material hoping to break their life cycle.

If you have any questions please call the Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013 or check out additional information on the Cicada Killer Wasps at ahpd.org.

Purchase your discounted Great America Tickets at the Park District Administration Center or Olympic Indoor Swim Center!

The Park District will sell tickets at the reduced rate of $37 per general admission ticket ($59.99 at the door).Tickets can only be purchased at the Administration Center (Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm) or at Olympic Indoor Swim Center (Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm and Saturday, 9 am-Noon).

Help us recognize our most outstanding employees!

A employee excels in one or more of the following areas: • Customer Satisfaction - striving to continually meet and exceed customers’ expectations.

• Leadership - taking initiative in all aspects of our jobs, and mentoring staff to help them reach their full potential.

• Attitude - embracing a positive, professional, and helpful presence at all times.

You may have noticed something new in the past couples of years in our parks. Our green garbage containers now double as recycling cans. In an effort to become a greener component to our community, the Park District has partnered with Groot Recycling and Waste Services. Here’s how it works. All the trash collected in our small garbage trucks will be hauled and dumped at Groot’s facility in Elk Grove Village. This state of the art recycling/waste facility separates the recyclable material from the solid waste. For our special events and for some of our higher use facilities and parks we will be providing special containers with special liners to assist in the front end collection. If you have any further questions please contact Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013.

Please Don’t Feed The Wildlife: Food Determines Numbers As you may be aware our flocks of geese and ducks have increased yearly. One of the causes of this is artificial feeding. Your well-intended snacks for our feathered friends decreases their ability to survive on the available natural food and makes them susceptible to disease and other predators.

Snack food invites more geese and ducks and the additional food is usually of poor or improper nutritional quality.

The ultimate solution is to STOP FEEDING THE BIRDS. Pampering them does no good.

Flag Display in North School Park The annual patriotic flag display in North School Park at Eastman Street and Arlington Heights Road is installed before Memorial Day weekend and remains until after July 4. Grouped throughout the park are the evolution of old glory flag, 27 stars and stripes flags, beginning with the 13-star flag ratified in 1787. Merchant Marines and the Coast Guard flags will be in the amphitheater with the other military flags. In front of the Administration Center, 410 N. Arlington Heights Road, are 15 historic flags from the pre-American Revolutionary War era.

Babysitter Pass

For your safety

For your child’s safety, children under age 9 must be accompanied by a responsible person age 14 and over at the pool. Because many families use a babysitter to watch their children, you are allowed to purchase a special pass for your babysitter. The sitter receives a picture pool pass for admission to the pool only when they accompany the child. For further information, call 847.577.3025. The babysitter pass must be purchased in-person at Olympic Indoor Swim Center.

Fee: $42.50/$62 NR Program guidelines: • The Babysitter Pass is valid for the term of the child’s pool pass.

• Child has to have a pool pass (individual or as part of a family pass).

• Only one babysitter pass per household.

• This special pass will be revoked if the babysitter is negligent in watching his/her charges while at the pool.

The use of cell phones, cameras, and other recording devices is prohibited in all Arlington Heights Park District locker rooms and bathrooms. Please report any suspicious behavior. Thank you for your cooperation.

Summer Pool Closing Policy The following conditions may warrant closing of the outdoor pools: Inclement weather - pools will close immediately if lightning is seen, tornado warnings are posted, or thunder is heard. Patrons will be asked to take shelter in the bathhouse. The pools will reopen if a 15-minute period passes without further incidence.

Staff will always proceed with caution for participant and staff safety.

• Air temperature below 67 degrees, as recorded at O’Hare.

• Low attendance - portions of the pool or the entire pool may be closed.

• Fecal accidents - staff will follow rules established by the State of Illinois when determining how long the pool needs to be closed after a fecal or vomit accident.

• Mechanical problems Olympic Indoor Swim Center is open rain or shine for your swimming enjoyment. However, Olympic will be closed if severe weather is imminent.

Pool Closings There are certain times when the pool will be closed to the public and only open to event participants.

Please check the bulletin board of your local pool to make sure that a change hasn’t been made in the daily schedule since the publishing of the Program Guide.

Adult/Toddler Breaks: Outdoor Pools At Camelot, Frontier, Heritage, Pioneer and Recreation Park pools, ten-minute adult/toddler breaks are held on the hour, every hour during open swim. Children must be under five years old to be considered a toddler and only one toddler per adult is permitted in the lap pool. Adults without children are also allowed to swim during the adult/toddler breaks. Other children are not allowed in the pool during this time.

Pool Toys Small balls are allowed in the pools during low attended periods, not during crowded times. Balls may not be used in the diving wells. Patrons throwing balls wildly and who risk hitting other bathers will be told to stop. Small water and beach toys are permitted in the wading pools and the zero depth area when attendance is low.

p 38

Bicycles, Strollers and Carriages At The Outdoor Pools Bicycle racks are available for use at the bike owner’s risk. Please lock your bike. For safety, bicycles are not permitted near the park building’s front doors, on the driveway near the wading pool, in the concession gate area, and never in the building.

Strollers, carriages, buggies, etc. are allowed in the designated areas only and must be wheeled through the locker rooms, not the pool office. Designated areas vary from pool to pool based on the design of each location. Due to limited space and safety concerns, strollers are not allowed in the immediate areas adjacent to the pool. Following these guidelines is extremely important. The wading pools at each facility are very busy. No child shall be left unattended while in a stroller, carriage, or buggy.

Floatation Device Policy For swimmer safety, floatation devices such as inner tubes, rafts, water wings, and foam noodles are not permitted in the pools. Swimsuits with integrated floatation devices are also not permitted. US Coast Guard approved lifejackets are allowed.

Each facility has a limited number available for use. Lifejackets do not make a child drown-proof. Children in lifejackets must be supervised by an adult at a maximum of arms length reach at all times when in the water. Children in lifejackets are not allowed to go down slides or off the diving boards. There is no substitute for adult supervision. Your child’s safety is our highest priority.

Deck Chairs The Park District has a limited number of pool deck chairs available with preference given to adults 18 years old and over. Patrons may also bring their own lawn chairs to the pool. In the wading pool, lawn chairs must be kept up against the fence. On the main pool deck, lawn chairs must be ten feet away from the edge of the pool. This is to provide a safe area to walk around the pools and also provides lifeguard staff an unobstructed view of the pool edge. Certain areas are restricted from lawn chairs for the safety of the patrons at the pool. Please ask the pool manager about the areas for lawn chair use. Chairs are not allowed in the spray ground area.

Lockers Lockers are available during public swim at no charge. All lockers are self-locking; lockers must be secured with your own padlock. Any lockers left locked after the pool closes will have the padlocks cut off. The contents will be available at the pool office. Swimming pool patrons are advised not to leave valuables in lockers, as the Park District is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Park District swim lessons are designed to include out of water instruction and safety procedures which are called Rain Days. Each session is allotted one Rain Day per session.

Cheer on your favorite lifeguards as they showcase their skills at the 24th. Annual Arlington Heights Park District Lifeguard Competition Saturday, August 4, 7 pm at Olympic Indoor Swim Center. This free event involves lifeguard skill events, swim races, and team spirit activities executed by the guards from all six neighborhood pools. Originally developed as a training activity, the annual competition has turned into a friendly rivalry among the pools’ staff. There are two awards given at this competition: the Spirit Award for the pool that demonstrated the most team spirit; Guard Comp Champions award for the team that wins the skill events and races. Last year Heritage won the Spirit Award and Recreation won the Guard Comp Champions award. Heritage Pool will be open to the public on this evening while we hold the guard competition.

Swim Lesson Parent Information Summer Session Information: The are several different session dates for the summer. We are excited to once again offer one week swim lessons this summer. We are also offering two day a week swim lessons. Many parents expressed an interest in one week and two day a week offerings based on program evaluations. We will also be offering an early week of swim lessons at Olympic to accommodate those school districts getting our earlier than D25.

In addition there will also be an extra week of swim lessons offered at the end of summer at Olympic. There will be the traditional two week sessions and a Saturday session throughout the summer as well. There will be no classes held on Fridays. Please be sure to check your swim lesson session dates. Not all swim lessons meet every day of the week. Some have conflicts with interpark meets and some are only two days a week. Please be sure to review the dates that you sign up for. There are sessions that run ONE week, TWO week, and FOUR week, along with SATURDAY only classes.

No classes dates: There are a few days this summer when classes will not meet. There will be no classes at all pools on July 4 due to the holiday. There will also be no classes on Saturday, July 28 at all pools due to City Meet.

Interpark Meet conflicts: At each pool there will be days when an interpark swim meet conflicts with swim lessons. At Camelot, Frontier, Pioneer and Recreation the first swim lessons of the morning will be effected. At Heritage and Olympic the first swim lessons of the evening will be effected. All of the interpark conflict dates are reflected in the scheduled offerings and the fees are adjusted accordingly. Interpark conflict dates will also be posted at the pools during the summer and announcements will be made to help remind participants.

First Day of Lessons: It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool.

You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of all the conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this on-line at ahpd.org/swimming.

p40

Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School and Swim School II. Four-year olds can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents.

Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.

Parent’s Day: Parent’s Days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School and are a day when parents are invited pool side to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.

How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons? If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to refund off the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.

Questions or Comments: During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible the supervision of the day’s activities.

In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Steve Neill 847.590.6059, sjneill@ahpd.org.

Ages 3 to 6 years old - Junior Swim School Develop your toddler’s swimming skills to prepare them for Swim School when they are age appropriate. The goal is to keep children learning and interested in swimming so they will succeed in Swim School.

Ages 5 to 12 years - Swim School There are nine different levels for a young swimmer to progress through. Progressive skill learning challenges your child from level to level.

Ages 5 to 12 years - Swim School II Same as above, but with a ratio of 4 students to 1 instructor.

This program is designed to help you and your child, age 6 to 24 months, learn to relax and enjoy the water through games, activities and songs. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities. A parent must accompany each child and be actively involved in the instruction. Infants need to wear tight fitting rubber pants over a diaper or a swimming diaper. We have swim diapers available for purchase. *No class 7/3. **No class 7/28. (SN)

AQUATICS

The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities.

• Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance.

• Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming to view them and other information about our swim program.

• Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes.

• Based on suggestions from parent evaluations, one week classes and two day a week classes are being offered. There are no classes on Fridays. All fees are adjusted based on how many days your class meets. Please review the dates of the classes you are interested in. (SN)

Splashball (9-11 yrs)

What is Splashball? Think of water polo in shallow water! What a great way to get introduced to a great new team sport. Splashball will be taught in shallow water, where the participants can mostly stand on the bottom. The rules for Splashball are different than water polo. Some of the key differences are that the participant can touch the bottom of the pool, can use two hands on the ball, and there is no defensive contact allowed. Focus will be on team passing, shooting, and defensive positioning. Participants must be able to swim at least 25 yards of the pool and be comfortable in the water.

Youth Water Polo (11-14 yrs) Teams will be coached by staff who play or have played water polo at the high school level. Specific skills will be worked on each day that will build toward conducting actual matches between parks.

This program is being offered at four locations for practices. All practices sessions will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All matches will take place at Recreation Park on Fridays between 10 am and 12 noon. Match scheduling will take into consideration the Interpark Swim Team meet schedule. Emphasis will be on having fun, learning the basics and sportsmanship. Both the ball and goal will be smaller than what is used at the high school level. This program will be offered in the deep water. If you have any questions or comments, please call Steve Neill at 847.590.6059. No class 7/4. (SN)

Night Golf at Nickol Knoll Golf Club Let’s face it...we all get nervous when we know people are watching us take a shot. Here is the perfect answer. Play in the dark! That way no one can see you swing. If you haven’t tried Night Golf, you are missing out on an opportunity to experience the game from a totally different perspective. Specially designed balls with a green glow stick are used in place of a regular golf ball. Afraid you won’t find the ball? Don’t be...it’s actually easier than finding it in the daylight. Book a private outing with 20 or more golfers, or join us as a foursome during one of the scheduled outings open to the public. Cost: $22 per person covers greens fees and equipment.

Bring your clubs and flashlight. Have the time of your life. Events have been set up for Fridays: May 25, June 22. Or we have open Night Golf Every Friday Evening in July, August, and Sept.

Quickstart Tennis Program Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process.

These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Beginner Children are introduced to the game with several specifications to scale, including court size, racquet length, ball weight and speed, net height and scoring format. This enables youngsters to practice and play tennis - just a scaled-down version from adult tennis - and allows them to play and learn at the same time.

Forest View Academy Program Forest View is excited to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition.

Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com

Academy Program Summer Schedule All summer Academy classes are offered daily Monday through Thursday. Class placement in the Academy Program is per pro recommendation, and is based on several factors including but not limited to: age, previous tennis lesson experience, competition/ tournament experience, and group fit. Registration and payment for Academy classes must be made in person at Forest View Racquet & Fitness Club.

The Junior Aces Academy is designed for Under 8 players (players born 8/1/2004 and later) who are looking to further their soccer skills in a more competitive environment while getting introduced to travel soccer. The Junior Aces Academy curriculum emphasizes technique training that strengthens individual ball skills, decisionmaking, and creativity. Players are placed in age-appropriate pools, rather than a specific team. As a group they receive professional training twice per week and weekend game coaching.

Games against other clubs are introduced and this takes place in the form of Soccer Festivals (mini-tournaments) and Academy League matches. Additionally, during the fall and spring season, inter club scrimmages take place. These matches allow the players to hone their skills in a competitive environment. There are spots available for 50 boys and 50 girls in this program and it is highly recommended that you attend the June training nights, June 11 & 13, 4:30-6:00 pm at Sunset Meadows.

Preschool Classes for 3-5 Year Olds About the Instructors:

Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share and establish self-direction.

“Our teachers work directly with the Kindergarten teachers and school administrators at District 25.”

About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting number 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play.

• Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2012; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2012. Proof of age is required at the time of registration.

• Children currently enrolled in the 3-4 year old program receive priority in registering for the 4-5 year old program. Some programs may be full at the February 25 general registration.

• All participants are required to provide snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program several times throughout the school year. Sign-up for the snack dates is conducted in the fall.

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington exclusively dedicated to veterans. Each year, the Memorial Day Parade ends at Memorial Park where the entire community participates in a solemn ceremony to honor all veterans.

Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, Memorial Park has roots deep in Arlington history. Civil War veteran, Dr. John Best, wanted to honor the sacrifices of Civil War veterans. So in 1883, he donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” - a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park District. The Park was renamed “Memorial Park” and dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history.

Since 2006, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee has worked with the Park District and other organizations to rebuild Memorial Park. A beautiful new design was constructed which features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington veterans have served; the Eternal Flame sculpture and commemorative bricks to honor the service and sacrifice of individual veterans.

A special section of Memorial Park is dedicated to the 58 young men from Arlington Heights who have died in the service of our Nation – from the Civil War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. We call these 58 young men Arlington’s Fallen Heroes.

park Foundation

To date, 500+ veterans are honored with a brick at Memorial Park. Each brick features an inscription that tells a story of service and sacrifice. Individually, these bricks recount the history of a veteran. Collectively, the 500+ bricks tell a story of service in the cause of freedom that crosses generations. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Park and view the bricks. It will be a memorable experience.
