Green Up Your Workout Running shoes are designed to last for 300-400 miles of use. So what do you do with worn out running shoes? Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program was created to solve the problem. Old shoes of any brand are collected and recycled to be used to build new tracks, basketball and tennis courts. Shoes can be dropped off at Nike stores or mailed to the recycling center. Visit nikereuseashoe.com for details. For more information on how the Carol Stream Park District is taking action against climate change, go to csparks.org/environment

Two ways to play with WDSRA! Carol Stream Park District & the ADA

WDSRA Programs

WDSRA provides a fun, safe environment for more than 4,500 children, teens, and adults to choose from over 1,500 programs, trips, and special events throughout the year. Programs everyone to participate at their own ability level. We offer a wide range of programs to reach a variety of interests, including: swim lessons, special Olympics, music, baseball, soccer, drama, art, bowling, trips, outings, social clubs, wheelchair and adapted sports and much more.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. The park district will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by an individual with a disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that leisure program and facilities. If you have questions or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by the park district, please call (630) 784-6100. Those who use the Telecommunications Device for the Deaf may reach the park district by calling (800) 526-0844.

Inclusion Services

WDSRA also offers inclusion services for those wishing to participate in regular park district programs but may need assistance. Inclusion is designed to provide the least restrictive environment while providing the maximum opportunity to participate in a program. There is no charge for WDSRA’s support. If you would like assistance, please indicate that special accommodations are needed on the park district registration form. If you have questions, contact WDSRA at 630-681-0962. Twoweek advance notice is requested for inclusion support.

WAIVER REGISTRATION/BROCHURE WAIVER & RELEASE IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Carol Stream Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Carol Stream Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the above listed programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity. WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slip and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist.
