Winter Bird Feeding Attract some color to your garden during the winter months with a bird feeder. Several types of bird feeder and bird seed are available, and each attracts a different kind of bird. Cardinals prefer sunflower seed, finches like nyjer or thistle seed and blue jays and chickaddes eat shelled peanuts. Look for squirrel-proof feeders to prevent the critters from stealing all of your bird feed.

Emergency Contact Phone Number: 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 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. Participation will be denied if the signature of adult participant or parent/guardian and date are not on this waiver.

2011 Referendum Project Updates
YOUR PARKS
2011 has been a busy year for referendum projects, with several major projects entering the construction phase. McCaslin Park Work began on the McCaslin Park improvement project in September. The project includes the reconfiguration of four ballfields into a hub formation, new artificial turf infields and additional lighting and paths. Bark Park Carol Stream Carol Stream’s first off-leash dog park opened in October. The Carol Stream Bark Park, accessed via Volunteer Park, features fenced areas for large and small dogs. Dog owners will be required to purchase an annual membership to use the park. Park Trails In late summer phase one of the trail that connects Volunteer Park to Red Hawk park via a North Avenue underpass was opened for use. The trail will eventually provide a connection to the Great Western Trail. Armstrong Park We’re saying farewell to the 41 year old Aldrin Community Center in 2012. The center will no longer be used for programming as of Jan 1, 2012. Watch for a farewell event for the Aldrin Community Center in early 2012. Playgrounds Four playgrounds were renovated in 2012. New equipment was installed at Sundance Park, Stonebridge Park, Jirsa Park and Tedrahn Park.
The Bark Park Carol Stream Ribbon Cutting, held on Oct 15

Construction is expected to take 18 months to complete. For the latest information of referendum project updates, visit www.csparks.org/referendum
