EGPD Winter Guide 2024

Commissioner's Update

As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with pride and gratitude for the dedication of our Park District staff and the unwavering support of our community. This year has been marked by exciting projects, growth and success across all departments. Together, we’ve achieved so much, and we’re excited to share some of the year's highlights.

Leisure Services

Pavilion Fitness experienced remarkable growth, welcoming over 3,000 new members, the highest since 2019. Facility upgrades, including new Functional Fitness and Cardio areas, along with refreshed branding, have revitalized the space. The Pavilion Aquatics Center saw increased participation in Swim Lessons, Swim Team and Aqua Wellness programs. Additionally, our rentals team continued to thrive, hosting numerous celebrations and creating lasting memories at the Park District.

Pirates’ Cove and Rainbow Falls Waterpark had a record-breaking summer in attendance. Meanwhile, our Dance and Theatre programs dazzled audiences with sold-out performances, and our Summer Camps drew in over 13,000 visits, keeping our parks and facilities full of life. Our athletics department also continued to provide fun, safe and competitive programs for both youth and adults.

Parks & Planning

Our parks flourished with the grand opening of Marshall Park in June, featuring a walking path, fitness stations and a community splash pad. New playgrounds were installed at Newberry and Clark Parks, while major renovations are currently underway at Rainbow Falls Waterpark.

Business Services

This summer, we welcomed over 200 seasonal staff who help make Park District seasonal facilities come to life. The department also implemented essential staff training throughout the year, ensuring a safe and productive environment for all. Additionally, our IT Department enhanced security measures and upgraded the phone system. Fox Run Golf Links saw its highest number of tee times and hosted well-attended events each month.

Marketing & Communications

The Marketing & Communications team launched successful campaigns promoting programs, community events, facilities and park renovations. They participated in regional and community events to showcase the Park District’s offerings to help spread the message. The team also played a pivotal role in the new Elk Grove Park District website launch in February. As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to continue building on this success and providing exceptional programs and services to our community.

Sincerely,

Elk Grove Park District’s Board of Commissioners

The Elk Grove Parks Foundation is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization created to support parks and recreation activities within Elk Grove Village. The Foundation provides funding to programs and activities not typically supported by property taxes. Parks and recreation is an important asset to the community. It is well documented that communities with an excellent park district have lower adolescent crime rates and increased property values. Individuals and corporations are invited to support the Foundation through monetary donations or in-kind gifts. Your donation of any amount is gladly accepted at our customer services desks at the Pavilion & Hattendorf Center. You can mail your check to: Elk Grove Parks Foundation, 499 Biesterfield Road, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007. Please contact Kelly Carbon at 847.228.3548 or kcarbon@elkgroveparks.org for more information.

Photo/Video Disclaimer

Elk Grove Park District reserves the right to photograph, videotape and stream participants in Park District programs, facilities or parks for the District’s promotional materials and marketing efforts. Photo coverage is provided in part by Park District Staff.

Household Account

This account consists of up to two adults and dependent children, less than 26 years of age who reside at the same address. If there are two or more families living at the same address, where there are more than two adults over the age of 26, then two or more accounts must exist.

Business Owner Rate

Elk Grove Business owners, who reside outside the Elk Grove Park District, but who pay Elk Grove Park District taxes, are eligible to receive a discounted business rate on Park District programs. The business owner rate is annual and equivalent to the listed resident rate, and business owners may register during the resident registration period. However, the participant is still considered a non-resident in terms of residency status. Business owners must prove ownership prior to registration.

Waiver And Release Form

A Waiver and Release of All Claims Form must be signed when registering yourself or your minor child for Elk Grove Park District programs. Your registration is not valid without a signed waiver. To ensure enrollment, please use our online or in person registration options.

Special Needs & ADA Compliance

We invite any resident with a special need to contact our staff, or our Special Recreation Association staff, upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion may occur. In addition to the programs listed within our brochure, our district also provides specialized services for people with disabilities through the Northwest Special Recreation Association.

Errors Disclaimer

Errors and omissions may occur prior to publication due to the large amount of information and unforeseen changes. Please visit elkgroveparks.org for the most current information.

Residency

All Elk Grove Village residents may not be residents of the Elk Grove Park District. Residents that support Elk Grove Park District through property taxes are defined as Elk Grove Park District residents. The Elk Grove Park District is not a part of the Village of Elk Grove Government. The Elk Grove Park District is a stand-alone tax supported agency. You may have an Elk Grove Village address, but not pay taxes to the Elk Grove Park District. The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your resident tax bill. The park district you pay taxes to will be listed. If you reside in Elk Grove Village, but do not pay taxes to the Elk Grove Park District, you are eligible for the Non-Resident Household Membership. (See definition below) District residents will have priority registration as the dates of registration are listed in the seasonal brochures. Resident and non-resident fees are listed with the program information. When establishing a new household account with the Elk Grove Park District, and including an online account, each resident is required to prove residency in person. This is a matter of data verification to make sure we have the most updated information in our new system. Once completed, we will activate the online portion. Please bring one of the following items for each householdmember with you to set up your account.

Adult (18yrs+)

Non-Resident Household Memberships

Registration Deadline

Don’t let a good class cancel! A good class might be canceled if you wait until the last minute to sign up. At some point we must make a decision as to whether a program or activity will take place. If that class has not registered a minimum number of participants it will be canceled. So remember, save a class and register by the program registration deadline. Please refer to the Elk Grove Park District brochure for program registration deadlines.
