Dear Neighbors,

We are excited to welcome you to another incredible year in our parks! This guide highlights the programs, events, and facilities we’ve planned to help you make lasting memories with your family, friends, and neighbors.

This marks almost one year of our fully digital program guide, and we’re thrilled with how easily the community has adapted. Be sure to watch for postcards reminding you when new guides are available online. If you haven’t already, check out our newly redesigned website, launching this fall, to make exploring programs and events even more seamless.

We are thrilled to invite everyone to check out Jewett Park now that the renovation project has been completed! The new playground, state-of-the-art concert pavilion, family game area, challenge course, and improved accessibility have transformed Jewett Park into a space everyone can enjoy. If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, we encourage you to stop by and see the exciting updates firsthand.

At the Jewett Park Community Center, the newly renovated lower level is thriving, with enhanced spaces for early childhood programs, cultural arts, and ceramics. The relocated registration office, now at the lower level, provides a welcoming and accessible new main entrance.

Our other facilities are shining, too! At the Sachs Recreation Center, members are enjoying a refreshed indoor cycle studio complete with a new fleet of spin bikes, and the main gymnasium basketball courts are looking great with their updated finishes. Over at the Deerfield Golf Club and Learning Center, our new Yamaha golf carts continue to elevate the player experience, and Tap House has quickly become a community favorite for dining.

The Patty Turner Center is buzzing with new energy, offering expanded evening and weekend programming as well as event rentals, giving adults even more ways to stay connected and engaged.

Looking ahead, this spring and summer are packed with opportunities for fun and connection. From exciting pool events to the always-popular outdoor summer concert series, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget to grab your pool passes at early bird rates by May 23, 2025 (see page 6 for details).

Thank you for making our parks, programs, and events such an integral part of your lives. We are honored to serve this incredible community and look forward to seeing you out in the parks this season.

Stay Safe & Well, Board of Commissioners

COME CELEBRATE OUR EXTRAORDINARY, ORDINARY LIVES!

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, Our Town, takes us on a trip to Grover’s Corners where we are reminded about the importance of appreciating the life we have and the people with whom we share it. This beloved American masterpiece, one of the most powerful and relevant American plays of all time, reminds us to celebrate love, family, community, and the beauty in the ordinary. As the play unfolds, we ask ourselves, “Do any of us ever realize life while we live it? Or do we take life for granted and overlook its wonder?” Let’s join together as we reflect on who we are, who we hope to be and how intimately we are intertwined.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

ONLINE REGISTRATION

You may register online for most activities. Web registration is quick and convenient. You can view real time availability and save time!

First time registering online?

Please scan or click for information on how to create a Household Account. Please note: some classes/camps have a numerical "grade" requirement. (Preschoolers are .25 and Kindergartners are .5.) If your child does not have a grade or has the incorrect grade listed in your household account, please contact the Registration Desk 847-945-0650 and they will be happy to make the correction/addition.

Who is eligible?

Any household with a valid email address is eligible to register online. For Deerfield Park District residents to receive resident rates, proof of residence is required.

What programs are available?

The majority of park district programs are available online, with a few exceptions. These are usually programs that require tryouts, prerequisites or prior instructor approval.

Will I know right away if I get in?

Yes. Online registration works in real time, so, as soon as you complete the payment process and get a confirmation email your enrollment is confirmed. If a class is full, you may join the wait list online.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION

PLEASE REGISTER EARLY. If enough participants are not registered, classes may be canceled. Those waiting until the last minute or for the first day of class may find it’s too late.

REGISTRATION FORMS

Registration forms can be downloaded from deerfieldparks.org/forms. Forms are also available at any of our facilities.

REGISTRATION STEPS

• Print legibly in ink.

• Read the registration form carefully and fill it out completely, including class names, activity code numbers and sections.

• Once a registration form is turned in, it cannot be changed.

• When registering, provide details about medical condition(s) that require staff attention.

• If you fax in your form, please do not send a duplicate by mail.

• Payment may be made by check or Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit cards. If paying by credit card, make sure the card number, expiration date and cardholder’s signature are completed and legible on the registration form.

• Do not use cash if you drop off registrations in the drop-off box.

• An adult participant, parent or guardian must sign the waiver on the bottom of the registration form. It is mutually understood that the fax registration document, including the waiver and release of all claims, shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as the original form.

WAITING LISTS

If you select a class and it’s full, you will be put on a waiting list. We will notify you of all class placements, cancellations, and/or changes.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR 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.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial assistance may be available to assist Deerfield Park District residents who are experiencing difficulty paying program fees. For more information call 847-945-0650.

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, but cannot begin to register until the non-resident registration date.

PROOF OF RESIDENCY

To receive “Resident” rates and priority in registration, you are required to show proof of residency your first time enrolling for a Deerfield Park District program or activity. Once your household has done this you will not need to repeat the process. This procedure ensures district residents receive priority in enrolling for high-demand activities, and discounted prices. A Deerfield mailing address does not guarantee park district Resident status — this is based on property tax boundaries.

Proof of Residency includes BOTH:

• A current residential utility bill (gas, electric, or water, no phone bills are accepted) with your name stating your mailing address and service address as being the same.

• A valid driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification containing your current address.

Documentation may be:

• Securely uploaded to the Registration website (after your online account has been activated).

• Dropped off at the registration office at Jewett Park Community Center, Patty Turner Center, Sachs Recreation Center or Deerfield Golf Club & Learning Center

• Faxed to 847-945-0699

IMPROPER REGISTRATION

Those who register for our programs and improperly use a Deerfield address are removed from the class and no refund or transfer fee is provided. Non-residents pay a higher fee per program. 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.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCHOLARSHIPS

Voluntary contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation for our 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.

Please know that the program is strictly confidential and is closely monitored by the Director of Recreation. We appreciate your support.

• Refunds requested on or after the program start date will not be honored.

• Refunds will not be issued for one day programs, workshops, special events, school’s out trips or theater tickets.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

KEEP OUR PARKS BEAUTIFUL

To provide safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing parks, we engage in the limited use of lawn care products as part of an integrated pest management program. A one-time annual application of herbicide to park and school sites is usually completed between Aug. 15 – Nov. 1 of each year. We publicize the date of the application and inform the appropriate school sites and residents who have asked to be advised of this process.

PARTICIPANT CONDUCT

The following conduct code rules apply to both participants and guardians/caregivers of those children. The Deerfield Park District reserves the right to suspend, expel or deny participation in any program or facility to any person whose behavior materially interferes or disrupts the quality of those offerings, the enjoyment of them by other participants or the ability of staff to conduct or manage the activities or facilities.

A child’s parent or guardian will be notified of the first incident; the second incident shall require the presence of a parent at a meeting with the instructor and a Park District administrator/supervisor; a third incident may result in the expulsion or suspension of the child from the program, event or facility.

If a child engages in behavior(s) which may result in bodily harm to others, an immediate meeting with the parent may be called. If such behavior warrants it, immediate suspension or expulsion may result. Temporary suspension from participation due to misconduct will not entitle participant to a refund.

An adult shall receive one verbal or written warning. The second incident may result in suspension from the program, event or facility. If an adult physically strikes a person or object or throws an object at another person, or takes any other action that may pose a real threat of bodily harm to others, or is verbally abusive to others, s/he may immediately be suspended or expelled from the program or facility.

PHOTO PERMISSION

Our staff or designees often take pictures or video at programs and events. Photographers from print or other media outlets may also take pictures or video on occasion. We welcome the coverage and hope you do too; it is frequently how the public learns what is happening at the Park District. If you prefer your family members’ pictures not be taken, please notify us in writing. NOTE: If you do see a photo posted to our websites or social media pages of you or your family member that you would like removed, please email marketing@deerfieldparks.org.

GENERAL INFORMATION

INSURANCE

Deerfield Park District cannot assume responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs, activities, parks and facilities within our jurisdiction. To do so would make our program and user fees prohibitive. Certain activities, facilities and equipment may, when used improperly, cause harm or personal injury. We make every effort to notify you of potentially dangerous situations and to provide rules for the proper use of equipment and facilities. You can avoid injury by following the rules, using good sense and being considerate of both Park District property and others using it.

EMERGENCY CLOSING

There may be times when weather, road conditions or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled, or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. The park district will communicate to patrons via the park district website deerfieldparks.org. 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.

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 the Deerfield Police Non-emergency line, 847-945-8636.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

Our Park District and other public agencies are subject to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination in the services, programs or facilities provided to individuals with disabilities. If you believe that, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, special assistance may be required when participating in a program, using a facility or receiving a service, please call Dana Bundy, JPCC Manager at 847-572-2624

THORGUARD

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.

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 strobe light illumination) signal it may be safe to return to the area, but use discretion.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES, 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.

Illness: Please do not attend class nor send children who are ill to class.
