4 • Fall 2016

Those peaceful moments amid nature’s beauty, happy children and the symphony of trees gently swaying in the breeze. We’re fortunate to have all of that in our community back yard which hosts 165 parks, 48 miles of trails and hundreds more amenities. As residents of the Fox Valley Park District, together, we own all of these public parks and open spaces. In the spirit of one big neighborhood, we share these assets and all the benefits they bring us. Parks and recreation make for better, brighter communities where fun never grows old. Over 90 percent of our 233,000 residents live within one-half mile of a park or trail, which ranks Fox Valley 10th nationally in public accessibility among large cities. Beautiful parks and trails are just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a ripple effect of benefits that greatly improve our quality of life. Economically, parks enhance property values which, in turn, increase revenue while attracting and retaining home buyers and workers who live and play in this community called home. World-class trails and facilities such as Blackberry Farm and Stuart Sports Complex are destinations that attract visitors from near and far, bringing increased revenue to the local economy. Parks are super performers in creating a cleaner, healthier environment. Besides their aesthetic beauty, trees and plants absorb pollutants as natural air filters that have a positive impact on human health. Green infrastructure soaks up storm water, filtering pollutants from runoff entering our lakes and rivers, which results in significant savings for our communities through reduced storm water treatment costs. Parks bring us together – all of us, from all walks of life. Sharing that bond keeps us connected and you don’t have to go far (one-half mile or less) to regale in that community pride.

Kids Fitness Initiatives FIT FOR KIDS

The Fox Valley Park District is taking a leading role in the battle against childhood obesity. Teaching children the importance of exercise and nutrition provides them a solid foundation for a healthy future. In partnership with local agencies, the District helped create the “Making Kane County Fit for Kids” campaign. A major component of this campaign is the “Fit Kids 2020 Plan,” which provides guidelines, strategies and action steps to put children on a path toward healthy living. The plan includes initiatives and ideas that communities and residents can apply to a common goal. By working together, we create an environment where children make smart lifestyle choices that are beneficial toward their long-term health and well-being. For more information, visit makingkanefitforkids.org. WORKING IT OUT TOGETHER

This program encourages kids and parents to work out together and develop a healthy lifestyle. Equipment will be set aside to allow children to work out with their parents. All children under the age of 14 are required to complete an equipment orientation prior to utilizing the fitness floor. Call the Vaughan or Eola Fitness Desk to set up an appointment. (BM) (JN) Age

Aquatics AquaTot Tadpoles 

Preschool Polywogs 

Children and parents are introduced to the pool through a gently structured swim class. This program gives swimmers a chance to explore the water, play, float and bond with their parent by singing songs and playing games. Each child must be accompanied by an adult. This is not a water safety class or swim instruction but a chance for children to become acclimated to the water. Children must wear a swim diaper under their bathing suit. No class Sept. 5 and Nov. 21-27. (JHV)

Little Polywogs who are ready for the next step can enjoy the same experiences they know and love, this time without their parent. Swimmers will use their imaginations as they learn basic swimming skills. Swimmers should be comfortable without a parent. To complete this level and move to the beginner class before age 5, children must be able to float independently on their fronts and backs, submerge their faces completely, swim freestyle with little or no help and be free of separation anxiety. No class Sept. 5 and Nov. 21-27. (JHV)

Our curriculum is aligned to the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards and is built on traditional activities such as literacy, art, music/movement as well as early concepts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). We take pride in being your community-based preschool and enjoy working with each child individually thanks to our low student-to-teacher ratios.

“I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to send my son to the amazing teachers at Creative Play Preschool... Not only have they benefited and blossomed from working on wonderful Pre-K learning skills, they have learned to team up together and become a little family within the classroom. Free thinking and self expression is encouraged, and though my children are very different from each other, each one has absolutely loved their experience there. The teachers get to know and recognize the

Volunteer Spotlight FOX FORCE VOLUNTEERS

Everybody is busy these days… and getting even busier. But even with hectic schedules that put free time at a premium, volunteering is as popular as ever. How can that be? The answer, as most every volunteer will tell you, is rooted in happiness and fulfillment. “Volunteering makes me feel good – what I would describe as a ‘private smile,’” said one of the Fox Valley Park District’s many ‘Fox Force Volunteers’ as he assisted staff and participants during the annual MidAmerican Canoe & Kayak Race. “I always feel a sense of accomplishment, because I’m giving back to my community, helping out others and participating in worthwhile activities.” Volunteers are among the most valuable resources the FVPD has. They are involved in every event, program, facility and sports teams. On an annual basis, that adds up to approximately 3,500 volunteers who donate 22,000 hours of their time, skills and service. The FVPD values and appreciates every hour put forth by every volunteer, and offers a Fox Tracks reward program as a way of saying thanks. Today’s volunteers come from all walks of life: they may be a teenager learning to manage responsibility by removing invasive plant species at Red Oak Nature Center, an executive sharing management skills at a community youth camp or a retiree enjoying new friendships as a volunteer reader at Creative Play Preschool. Their reasons are just as varied. For many, volunteering is a way to gain experience, acquire new skills, meet new people, advance career aspirations and even reduce stress. The FVPD has volunteer opportunities that are just as diverse. Individuals, families, business, Scouts, teens and school groups can all find ways to contribute, whether it’s helping with major events like Bug Fest, participating in cleanup efforts in the parks and along the trails and working with kids, seniors and all those in between. It all comes down to the ability of people to work willingly together for the betterment of their community and themselves – truly a win/win.

Outdoor Facilities FISHING LAKES AND BOAT RAMPS

TRAILS

The district has a variety of fishing lakes for some relaxing fun. To ensure long-term, quality fishing at its lakes, the Fox Valley Park District has a cooperative management agreement with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that is intended to develop healthy eco-systems and improve fishing quality. Rather than stock and re-stock regularly, the lakes management program creates a fishery that is self-sustaining. The payoffs for fishermen are greater catch rates and bigger fish.

The park district features more than 48 miles of premier regional trails (trailheads with parking listed below). Trail maps are located on the “Park and Trails” tab at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org.

Printable contour maps of select lakes are available online at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org. The maps feature lake depths and shoreline features, along with specific information on fish species, average numbers and sizes, and creel limits. Fishing lakes with off-street parking include: •  Foxcroft Lake: Elder and Birch in Aurora •  Jericho Lake: Jericho Road in Aurora •  Lake Gregory/Blackberry Farm (free with paid admission and valid fishing license weekdays only May 1 to Aug. 31): 100 S. Barnes Road, Aurora •  Spring Lake: McCoy and Frontenac in Aurora •  Waubonsie Lake: Montgomery and Kautz in Aurora •  Wheatland Lake: Barrington and Spinnaker in Aurora Boat ramp locations: • Veterans Island • South River Street Park

• Spring Lake Park • Jericho Lake Park*

Boat dock locations: • Waubonsie Lake • Spring Lake

*Temporarily closed. STUART SPORTS COMPLEX

Stuart Sports Complex in Montgomery (60506) has two entrances. The North Entrance is located at 39W585 Jericho Road. The South Entrance is located at Griffin Dr. and Route 30.
