Green Tips Greener Pest Control Fall is a time when bugs and pests try to move indoors. Minimize your need for pesticides by removing sources of food, water and shelter: keep food in sealed containers, fix leaky faucets and seal off cracks where pests could enter.

Switch to Low-VOC Paints If you’re planning on decorating this fall, consider switching to low-VOC paints. Low-VOC paints have less odor than regular paints and are less toxic, which can help with conditions such as asthma or allergies inside your home.

Xeriscape Your Yard Go green this fall with Xeriscaping - a landscaping technique that makes use of native plants and landscape designs to reduce water use and soil erosion. Xeriscaping can also help shrink your garden maintainence costs.

I wanted to help out with the Skate Park because I like being involved! I also really didn’t like the way the Skate Park was set up so I figured I could try to help out with that when I was asked. As time went on I wanted to get a competition going so I helped with that and I just wanted to get the Skate Park changed for the better and right now it’s really good. Overall, I helped because I just really like being involved!

Alec, a Sophomore at Bartlett High School, started skateboarding when he was twelve years old.

Skateboarding is one of his true passions and he has regularly attended the Lake Owen Skateboarding Camp in Cable, Wisconsin.

For the past three years, Alec has been the leader of our skate park focus group. Alec submitted reconfiguration drawings for the set-up of the Hampe Park skate park and he helped choose the new pieces of equipment for the park. He has assisted with the annual Throw Down Show Down Skateboard Competition and this year he took 3rd place at the Advanced Level. Alec has been a true asset to the skate park focus group and our park district. We enjoy working with him and truly appreciate all of the effort he continues to put forth for us.

WAIVER & RELEASE 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 participants’ 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. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Carol Stream Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in the programs listed above, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with these programs (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these programs against the Carol Stream Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees. I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via fax, my on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature.

Inclusion Services

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.

Twoweek advance notice is requested for inclusion support.

Special Recreation The benefits of recreation extend far beyond the soccer field or the dance floor. The skills that are learned and practiced in leisure provide a tremendous foundation for life. For an individual with a disability, recreational activities can improve self-confidence, provide socialization opportunities, and reinforce a sense of teamwork and tolerance. They can establish friendships and gain social independence. The benefits are endless!

Green Tips Greener Pest Control Fall is a time when bugs and pests try to move indoors. Minimize your need for pesticides by removing sources of food, water and shelter: keep food in sealed containers, fix leaky faucets and seal off cracks where pests could enter.

Switch to Low-VOC Paints If you’re planning on decorating this fall, consider switching to low-VOC paints. Low-VOC paints have less odor than regular paints and are less toxic, which can help with conditions such as asthma or allergies inside your home.

Xeriscape Your Yard Go green this fall with Xeriscaping - a landscaping technique that makes use of native plants and landscape designs to reduce water use and soil erosion. Xeriscaping can also help shrink your garden maintainence costs.

I wanted to help out with the Skate Park because I like being involved! I also really didn’t like the way the Skate Park was set up so I figured I could try to help out with that when I was asked. As time went on I wanted to get a competition going so I helped with that and I just wanted to get the Skate Park changed for the better and right now it’s really good. Overall, I helped because I just really like being involved!

Alec, a Sophomore at Bartlett High School, started skateboarding when he was twelve years old.

Skateboarding is one of his true passions and he has regularly attended the Lake Owen Skateboarding Camp in Cable, Wisconsin.

For the past three years, Alec has been the leader of our skate park focus group. Alec submitted reconfiguration drawings for the set-up of the Hampe Park skate park and he helped choose the new pieces of equipment for the park. He has assisted with the annual Throw Down Show Down Skateboard Competition and this year he took 3rd place at the Advanced Level. Alec has been a true asset to the skate park focus group and our park district. We enjoy working with him and truly appreciate all of the effort he continues to put forth for us.
