The Deerfield Park District endeavors to keep its facilities and programs operating whenever possible. There may be times; however, when weather, road conditions or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. In such cases, Deerfield Park District reserves the right to close a particular facility or cancel a program based on the following criteria: • Whenever an unscheduled closing or cancellation occurs, the park district will make every effort to communicate to patrons via the park district Weather Hotline (847-317-2555), the website deerfieldparks.org, and the metropolitan Chicago Emergency Closing Center website emergencyclosingcenter.com. • Local School Closings: Whenever School District 109 cancels school due to snow related weather conditions, all Deerfield Park District Preschool classes and all programs held at school sites will also be canceled. Closing other park district facilities or canceling classes will be made on a case by case basis. Park district facilities themselves will remain open for nonscheduled activities (e.g. fitness center use, registration, etc.) unless specifically directed to close due to weather conditions. • Facility Specific Conditions: In the event that conditions prompting closing arise at a specific facility (e.g. high winds, power outages, equipment malfunctions, flooding), classes may be canceled or the facility temporarily closed until the condition has been resolved. • ThorGuard Lightning Prediction Systems are installed at all parks, pools and schools in Deerfield. See General Information section for more information. • The following are contact numbers regarding the cancellation of programs due to poor or unsafe weather conditions:

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Dear Neighbors,
Here in Deerfield, we have a lot to cheer about this July and August as nine athletes from North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics and one athlete from the WNBA Chicago Sky will travel to Tokyo to represent Team USA in the Olympics! We are proud of these amazing athletes who call the Sachs Recreation Center not only their practice facility but their home away from home. Follow us on Facebook or check our website for schedules so you can cheer our hometown athletes to victory! The Deerfield Park District is proud to have been selected as a finalist for the 2021 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The National Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the United States that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. The final step in the process now that we have been selected as one of the top four in our class was to submit a finalist video showcasing our agency and highlighting our unique programs, services and partnerships (click here to check out our video). Watch our website for an update as the winner in each class will be announced in September at the National Recreation and Park Association conference. The park district has also been working on a community needs assessment. You can read more about the assessment process on page 6. The district
will also be holding a Floral Park dedication on Saturday, August 21 at 1:30 pm. The public is invited to attend. In June, the Doctors Test Center wrapped up the Covid-19 vaccination site at the Patty Turner Center. With the completion of this essential collaborative program comes the ability for the Patty Turner Center to welcome back its members to enjoy a plethora of in-person programming including art classes, fitness, excursions and special events. Check out the Patty Turner Center pages to see the many options for enjoying the fall season with friends. Fall is also the perfect time to get back into a workout regimen at Sachs Recreation Center. We are offering indoor and outdoor group exercise classes, a virtual library of exercise classes for members to access from home, open gym times, lap swimming, access to fitness equipment and weights, personal training and more. Come in and check us out, your body and mind will thank you! Additionally, we have lots of late summer and fall special events planned combining recreation and seasonal fun. There are so many events to choose from including Walk, Ride & Roll, Parent’s Night Out, Haunted Ceramics, Jewett Jingle Jam and Noon Year’s Eve. View event dates and details on pages 15-19 and page 59. Event information and direct access to registration is also available on our website calendar of events at deerfieldparks.org/events.

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN DEERFIELD! Deerfield Park District’s Mission Statement
The Deerfield Park District strives to serve the Deerfield Community with outstanding parks, services, facilities and recreation programs that enrich lives, promote healthy living and inspire memorable experiences.
Six Strategic Plan Strategies 1. Organizational Excellence 2. Customer Engagement 3. Community Engagement
4. Going Green/Environmental Stewardship 5. Expand & Enhance Parks & Properties 6. Enhance Existing Facilities & Add New Ones Go GREEN
Go GREEN
Look for these symbols to stay current on Deerfield Park District’s strategic plan.
COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT The Deerfield Park District has been working on a community needs assessment. The assessment includes a board visioning session, a staff visioning session, a Delphi Committee focus group with local stakeholders and the administration of a community survey, working with the Public Research Group. The survey will be mailed or emailed to a random sample of residents to help guide the district in program and service enhancements and future projects. The survey is a key element of how the district can best serve the community and we encourage everyone who receives the survey to complete and return it to the district. An additional component of the survey process will be to post the survey on the district’s website after the random sampling survey process is complete to add to the compilation of the community’s parks and recreation needs. Information on that posting will be provided in the upcoming months.
NATIONAL GOLD MEDAL AWARD The Deerfield Park District is proud to have been selected as a finalist for the 2021 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The National Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the United States that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. The final step in the process now that we have been selected as one of the top four in our class was to submit a finalist video showcasing our agency and highlighting our unique programs, services and partnerships (click here to check out our video). Watch our website for an update as the winner in each class will be announced in September at the National Recreation and Park Association conference.
SWALCO CLOTHING & TEXTILE COLLECTION PROGRAM
Go GREEN
Continuing to focus on environmental stewardship, the park district has partnered with the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) to provide outdoor donation collection boxes at the Deerfield Golf Club on the northeast corner of the parking lot and at the Patty Tuner Center accessible from the parking lot, on the west side of the building. This is a full-circle program where new and gently used clothing and textile donations are accepted. Almost all of the accepted materials will be reused, repurposed or recycled. Sites do generate a small amount of revenue which will be utilized for projects that enhance our going green committment.

Fortnite League
Fortnite is a survival game where 100 players fight against each other in player versus player combat to be the last one standing. It is a fast-paced, action-packed game, not unlike The Hunger Games, where strategic thinking is a must in order to survive. Players will need to own a console (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or PC). Players will need an online access pass for their console to play others online (Playstation Plus, Xbox Live, Nintendo Online). Players will need WIFI or LAN/ Ethernet Cable Internet access. Players will need access to Discord, a communication platform to communicate with GGLeagues and other teams on game days. This is a free application online and moderated by GGLeagues staff.

YOUTH & HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALLHEADING LEAGUES Team Selection
League Registration Cut-Off
• NO REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR ANY GRADE LEVEL. • Skill evaluations (not try-outs) are run for the purpose of distributing talent as evenly as possible throughout the league. • As much as we try, this is not a scientific process. • Every player should attend one of the skill evaluation days • Every player should attend their skill evaluation time listed on Saturday, October 21 or Thursday, October 23. • A player information form must be filled out with basketball registration. The form can be downloaded from the park district web site or picked up at the registration desk.
League Registration will not be accepted after Monday, October 25 at 12:00 pm. Any player registering after October 25 will be placed on a wait list and placed, if possible after the team selection process is completed (Friday October 29).
Skill Evaluations (You should attend one evaluation.)
Effective coaches fully support a positive youth sports philosophy in their attitude and behavior at practice, games and events. You help the players learn skills, discuss fair play and most of all, have fun. Look at coaching as an opportunity not only to teach sports skills, but also to achieve something far more significant –helping children reach their full potential.
All children in the league must attend skill evaluations. Coaches should be on hand to rate the kids. Times for each league are listed in the general league description. Plan to attend one session.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR DEERFIELD PARK DISTRICT RESIDENTS
People who live within the boundaries of the Deerfield Park District always have first priority in our registration process. However, having a Deerfield address does not always mean that you are a resident of our Park District. Program brochures are typically sent to the 60015 zip code, but this can include areas that are not part of the Deerfield Park District.
The safety of our participants, visitors and staff is our top priority. We will continue to establish protocols based on COVID-19 guidelines established by Federal, State of Illinois, county and local entities. Thank you for your cooperation. Fall 2021
REGISTRATION INFORMATION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Residents experiencing difficulty paying program fees should contact the Park District.
RESIDENT & SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT #109 AND #113 RATES
Resident rates will apply to those who live within the Park District boundaries. If a participant does not live within the park district boundaries but enrolls in a program that is held at a District 109 or 113 school and they reside in that school district, then they pay the resident rate.
SENIOR AGE
As of January 1, 2020 the senior age for all Deerfield Park District memberships, passes and fees will be age 65. Those who purchased senior memberships on or before December 31, 2019, and are under age 65, will be grandfathered in and receive senior rates until they reach age 65.

To receive “Resident” rates and priority in registration, you are required to show PROOF OF RESIDENCY when signing up for ANY Deerfield Park District program. Online registration users who have set up an account do not need to show proof of residency again at this time. Proof of residency includes both: • A current residential utility bill (gas, electric, water-no phone bills accepted) with your name stating your mailing address and service address as being the same. • A valid driver’s license or photo-ID containing your current address. Proof of residency needs to be brought in to Jewett Park Community Center, Patty Turner Center, Sachs Recreation Center, or Deerfield Golf Club. We do this to ensure that the registration procedures remain fair. Thank you for your compliance and assistance.

Non-resident fees are shown second in program descriptions. Note: Non-residents are not eligible for resident fees even if their caretaker, provider, or relative resides in Deerfield.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO GRANTS-IN-AID
Voluntary contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation for our Grants-in-Aid (Scholarship) Fund can be made on the registration form. The fund is used for people who are in serious financial need, to participate in park district programs. The Board of Park Commissioners has a policy that no person will be denied access to recreation programs or facilities because of an inability to pay fees. Please know that the program is strictly confidential and is closely monitored by the Director of Recreation. We appreciate your support.
REFUNDS FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS
A recreation program is defined as a program in which park district personnel teach activities or skills over a period of two or more class meetings. Sports leagues, camps, preschool, After School Club, trips, Sarah Hall Theatre, virtual sewing classes, special events, season passes and one-day classes and workshops are considered special refund categories. • A refund may be obtained two (2) business days prior to the first day of class/program. A 10 percent service charge ($5 minimum; $10 maximum) will be deducted from the amount paid for the program(s). • Once a program or class begins, and prior to it ending, you may request a prorated refund based on the number of classes attended and the date the refund request is received. A 10 percent service charge ($5 minimum; $10 maximum) will be assessed. • If a class is rescheduled, relocated, or changed by the park district, a total refund will be made if requested by the participant. • Refunds will be offered if a class is canceled or closed by the park district. • If a participant is dropped from a program at the request and discretion of the district staff, a refund will be made, less prorated cost of classes held. • In lieu of a refund, participants may transfer money to other currently offered activities. The amount to be transferred (refunded) will be prorated based on the number of classes that have already been held.

GENERAL INFORMATION MISSION STATEMENT
To provide outstanding parks, services, facilities and recreation programs that enrich lives, promote healthy living and inspire memorable experiences.
PARK DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY
The Park Board recognizes the need to provide and maintain sufficient and attractive parks, open space, recreation facilities and programs to serve equitably, and without prejudice, all the people of the Park District in the provision of leisure time activities. Every opportunity shall be afforded, within financial limits, to plan, procure, develop and maintain park and recreation resources, and to provide leadership for the wholesome and constructive use of leisure time. The provisions of quality recreational services in the most efficient manner, at the least possible cost, and without significantly duplicating the efforts of other agencies, will be emphasized at all times. This includes the development of cooperative agreements with other agencies directly and indirectly involved with leisure services in the District. The provision of recreation, park and conservation services must be considered as a positive opportunity for people of the District to share with each other, to develop leadership capacities, to learn skills for present and future enjoyment, and to emphasize responsibilities to each other as well as to the community.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
Please respect the rights and property of neighbors of our parks. Use public sidewalks/pathways. Drive carefully in lots, driveways and nearby streets. Trees, bushes, fences, etc., should not be used as bathrooms. Keep your dog on a leash, remain on public property, clean up pet waste, and place trash in park receptacles. To report vandalism, call 847-945-8636.

THORGUARD
GENERAL INFORMATION
ThorGuard Lightning Prediction Systems are installed at all parks, pools and schools in Deerfield, from April through November. Horns are tested the first Tuesday of each of these months, at 10 AM. Should you hear the horn or see the strobe light at other times—or any time lightning seems possible—be sure to seek shelter. The system is meant to warn the public that conditions are right for possible lightning danger. This system is not 100 percent accurate, as it operates on radio waves which are variable. As not every unit will go off simultaneously, the public is asked to please use common sense when conditions appear threatening, even if ThorGuard warnings are not heard or seen.
FOOD ALLERGIES, MEDICATION, ILLNESS
Infectious Diseases: To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, such as strep, pink eye and fifth’s disease, parents should report any diagnosed cases to the Park District office. If exposure to other participants occurred, a notification is sent home. Food Allergies: Many of our preschool, as well as cooking and other classes, will serve food; therefore, it is imperative that you notify the full-time Recreation Supervisor of any food allergies or dietary restrictions your child may have. Medication: If your child requires medication (inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) during class, medication administration forms must be completed. Please call our registration office (847-945-0650) for details.
Follow these warnings for safety: • One prolonged horn blast signifies a strong lightning risk. • The strobe light signals a continuing lightning alert condition. • Three short horn blasts (and ceasing of Illness: Please do not attend class nor strobe light illumination) signal it may send children who are ill to class. be safe to return to the area, but use discretion.

recreation programs and services for children, teens and adults with disabilities. NSSRA offers recreation, sport, cultural and social programs and events available throughout the year, creating new experiences, opportunities for skill development, leisure time, and perhaps most importantly, friendship.

We believe that everyone should have the chance to try something new. This means you have the opportunity to participate in any one of NSSRA’s 500 annual programs, or that you have the opportunity to participate in one of the Deerfield Park District programs with the assistance of an NSSRA Inclusion companion.
