Batting Cages All three community centers have batting cages that may be rented by the hour. Each is equipped with a manual pitching machine, where users can feed balls at their own pace. It has adjustable speeds for different ages and levels – from youth to adult – and can be used for either baseball or softball. Balls are provided, but players should bring their own bats and helmets. Vaughan has temporary mounds that can be used inside the cages for those who want to brush up on their pitching skills. Note: There is no bat-to-ball contact allowed outside of the cages (this includes soft toss with Wiffle balls or other soft balls). The cages also can be used to practice golf.

Futsal is played with a special low-bounce ball, requiring players to use their skills rather than the ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounce to propel it. This program is designed to increase the overall ability to handle the soccer ball in a variety of circumstances that will challenge their knowledge of the game under a fun and positive way.

the good fight

Fighting childhood obesity. Keeping kids healthy.

A commitment of the Fox Valley Park District.

What is QuickStart Tennis? QuickStart Tennis is a new format to help children 10 and under learn and play the game of tennis. Balls are lower in compression so they bounce lower and don’t move as fast – making them easier to hit. This allows kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. Rackets are sized for small hands, and the courts are smaller and easier to cover. Full-sized courts can be reconfigured to accommodate up to six 36-foot courts so kids can spend their time playing instead of waiting in line.

What’s that racket?

Tennis For Youth Tennis Lessons: QuickStart Red Stage – Outdoors

Tennis Lessons: QuickStart Orange Stage – Outdoors

QuickStart Red Stage uses an oversized, lower compression red ball that is easier to hit with a lower bounce. Participants learn racket and ball control, sending and receiving with a partner, rally skills on a 36foot court and short-format competitive games. Players need to bring their own racket. Program cancellations due to weather will be made up. (BSV)

QuickStart Orange Stage uses a modified lower compression ball that is 50 percent slower than a regulation ball. Participants learn more detailed forehand and backhand progressions, rallying on a 60-foot court, serve and return, volleys, extended format competition and scoring. Players need to bring their own racket. Evening and weekend program cancellations due to weather will be made up. No class July 4. (BSV)

AquaTots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Outdoors

AquaTots is designed to provide a fun and nurturing environment for young children to be safely introduced to the water with an accompanying adult. AquaTots provides a unique opportunity for an adult and child to play, float and bond together through singing songs and playing games. This is not a 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. (JHV)

This program is designed to provide a fun, nurturing environment for babies age 12 to 24 months to be safely introduced to the water. This is not a swim instruction or safety class, but rather a unique opportunity for an adult and baby to play, float and bond in the zero-depth pool, sing songs, play games and have fun. The adult must be at least 16 years of age, and each child must be accompanied by a separate adult. Babies must wear a swim diaper under their bathing suit. (JHV)

Aquatics Swim Lessons: Parent+Preschool – Indoors

Swim Lessons: Parent+Preschool – Outdoors

Children can develop a foundation for future swimming skills when instructors help the adult work with the child toward completing basic skills such as submerging the face and head in the water, gliding on front and back, kicking and beginning freestyle and backstroke. This is a great class to introduce children to the water as well as work on social skills and calm any separation anxiety or fear toward the water. Children who are not pottytrained must wear a swim diaper under their bathing suit. (JHV)

Nature Programs Connecting Kids with Nature

No Child Left Inside Today’s children have become disconnected from nature; some call it “nature deficit disorder.” Instead of spending hours outside riding bikes and climbing trees, they’re playing video games, surfing the web, watching TV and texting. No Child Left Inside is an initiative by the Fox Valley Park District that encourages children to unplug from technology and get outside to enjoy all the recreational resources and outdoor activities available to them – the fresh air and fun of the great outdoors!

School of Rocks

Cooking Over the Campfire

“Rock out” with a naturalist and learn how to identify different types of rocks. Travel down a ravine to the Fox River banks in search of rocks. Discover how special rock features are formed, and journey into Devil’s Cave. The hike will take place rain or shine. (MG)

Learn fire-building techniques needed to explore different cooking methods over the campfire. A Dutch oven will be used to prepare a variety of foods for a pioneer meal. Everyone then gets to enjoy eating the results. (LB)

What is Creative Play Preschool? The Creative Play Preschool program offers a stimulating environment for children to grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. The preschool curriculum includes activities involving art, math, science, language, music / movement and dramatic play.

Children must be 3 or 4 years old as of Sept. 1 of the current school year and must be completely toilet-trained. The school year is divided into three sessions: fall (September to November), winter (November to March) and spring (March to May).

Fox Force Volunteer Program We appreciate all of our volunteers!

Volunteer Program

Thank you to all of our many volunteers who have given of their time and talent during the spring. We appreciate all the people who volunteered as coaches, program volunteers, at special events and at all other activities that time and talent was given.

Volunteer Spotlight

ost parents agree it’s highly beneficial for their children to be active and involved in activities they enjoy, helping them learn and grow as they mature into young adults.

But it doesn’t come without sacrifice. With busy children come hectic schedules, making it increasingly difficult to spend quality time together. Audra Weizeorick faced that challenge and found the perfect balance could be attained through volunteering. For the last four years, Weizeorick has been an invaluable, behind-the-scenes helper with the Park District’s busy dance program. As a former dancer herself with a daughter (Brianna) in the program, volunteering helps Weizeorick stay involved with something she greatly enjoys. Her dedication runs deep. Each season, Weizeorick spends afternoons and evenings measuring dancers for recital wardrobes in the fall, helping with dance showcase performances in the summer and winter and preparing dancers for recitals in the spring.

Audra Weizeorick

And when it comes time for dancers’ photos, Weizeorick is always “in the picture,” devoting as many hours as necessary to assure each student is primed for the cameras. “I truly enjoy being around the dance program and helping out,” she said. “It’s fun to be involved and stay connected with the dancers and their families. It feels good to give back while doing something I love. To know those contributions are appreciated makes it even better.” Though her daughter has been in the dance program for 12 years, mom was busy working until recently. So volunteering during Brianna’s high school years has provided a special opportunity as well. “It’s allowed me to grow closer with her, and she likes that her mom is involved and helping others,” said Weizeorick. And in doing so, she’s putting a hop in everyone’s step. 131

Six hiking trails and the nationally renowned Fox River Trail offer avenues of exploration via hiking and biking, with interpretive signs along the way that explain the ways of nature. An indoor museum further enhances the educational experience, featuring environmental exhibits and “hands-on” participation designed to create a better understanding of the natural world.

Located directly behind the Nature Center, the Observation Deck sits over the Fox River and is an ideal vantage point for viewing river wildlife, migratory birds and the wooded shorelines and islands.

Trails

The Fox Valley Park District maintains 159 parks and 44 miles of interconnected trails amid 2,400 acres of parkland and 22 miles of Fox River shoreline. Park service coverage is spaced throughout Aurora, North Aurora and Montgomery, providing virtually every resident and neighborhood with convenient, nearby access to parks and open space.

The park district features more than 44 miles of premier regional trails (trailheads with parking listed below). Trail maps are located on the “Park and Trails” tab at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org.

Dog Parks The park district has two dog parks: • Lincoln Park Dog Park, at the south end of Lincoln Park at South Harrison Avenue just north of Prairie Street and east of Elmwood Drive • Gregory Island Dog Park, between Routes 25 and 31 on Indian Trail Dogs must be registered with the park district. Dog tag registration may be done by mail, email, online or fax by filling out the registration available online at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org or in person at the park district police office, 1460 S. East River Road in Montgomery (office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays). Fee per dog is $15 for residents; $30 for non-residents. For more information, hours and guidelines, visit foxvalleyparkdistrict.org.

Fishing Lakes and Boat Ramps The district has a variety of fishing lakes for some relaxing fun. To ensure longterm, 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. 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, Aurora • Jericho Lake, Jericho Road, Aurora • Lake Gregory/Blackberry Farm (with paid admission), 100 S.
