PARK DISTRICT NOTES

Park District Notes

2011 was another great year for the Park District.

We accomplished some amazing things including, building our newest and long awaited playground at Village Park, updating both Betty Russell and Vineyard Parks, conducting a community survey, completing a new strategic plan; and earning the Platinum International Safety Award for excellence in aquatic safety and service, the GFOA Award for our comprehensive annual financial report and the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. In the center of this brochure, you will find our Annual Report for 2011. The Park District continues to be financially stable and further details on its finances can be found in the report. Our recreation program participation remains strong and are always evolving to meet our community’s needs. We adhere to a conservative budget projects and strive to keep our expenditures low while maintaining high quality programs and services.

Susie Kuruvilla, CPA, CPRP Executive Director

We completed a new Strategic Plan in 2011 and it was adopted by the Board in February. The 2012-2015 Strategic Plan will assist us in accomplishing district initiatives as identified through the plan process. You can read the plan in its entirety on our website. We thank the community, Advisory Committee, board and staff for their efforts in developing this important document which will guide our future endeavors. One major initiative, a conversion of our software systems will occur this spring. Customers can expect an easier registration process, access to account information online etc. and more! Please read our brief message on page 45 about the conversion. Hunt Club Park Aquatic Center season passes are available for purchase. We have asked Mother Nature for some fantastic weather, lots of sun—not too hot, not too cold! Those who purchase their pass by April 30th will get the Early Bird discount rate as well as one free guest pass for each season pass purchased. Complete details can be found on page 2-3. Also, there are a number of great special events scheduled this spring. Family Fun Day is scheduled for April 20th at Hunt Club Park. You also won’t want to miss Lunch with the Easter Bunny, Flashlight Egg Hunt, and Viking Park Singers’ Italian Fest. View all of our great events on pages 46-47. I welcome your comments and suggestions to further enhance our services. As always, feel free to call me at 847-623-7788 or e-mail me at susie@ gurneeparkdistrict.com.

Rock Climbing Wall Are you looking for a great workout in a comfortable setting? Besides being a great aerobic workout, rock climbing works almost every muscle group in the body. Climbing two or more times a week improves strength, muscular and cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility. Climbers will use the auto belay system. A manual belay is attached to the auto belay system by our certified climbing wall attendant for lighter climbers. So, challenge your friends and family on our 24-foot rock climbing wall! If you enjoy climbing or have always wanted to scale a wall like Spiderman, then come out and give it a try!

Private Yoga Training @ the Hunt Club Fitness Center Meet our Private Yoga Training Instructor Larisa Kenny, RYT – Private Yoga Instructor “Yoga came to me at a point in my life when I needed something for me, for my body, and for my mind. I had tried different exercise programs, joined health clubs but nothing gave me the satisfaction that I was looking for, until I stumbled upon a Park District brochure and decided to try a yoga class. As a professional dietician caring for Seniors in long term care with various forms of Dementia and memory loss, my days were challenging. I knew nothing about Yoga, but after my first class I knew I had found my inspiration. Not only did I feel good, but I felt a deep connection to myself. Inspired by my instructors, I received my 200 hour RYT Certification from my mentor, Silvia Mordini and Total Body Yoga, as well as a certification in Prenatal Yoga. My foundations are in Anusara inspired Vinyasa Flow and Iyengar and therapeutic yoga. “My belief is that the practice of Yoga enhances and improves the quality of our lives. I have the privilege of sharing the physical and mental benefits of Yoga to my Senior clients and my Yoga students. Yoga allows you to focus on yourself; changing and bettering your perspective of the world and how you see people. I help my students do this by teaching Vinyasa Flow incorporated with the philosophies of Yoga. My teachings are vivacious and fun yet therapeutic and calming. I work to reduce student’s stress and worries, and instill a sense of calmness. They become more aware of their bodies and connected to their breath. And, my hope is that they take my teachings into their daily life.” “I feel that everyone could benefit from practicing Yoga. Yoga doesn’t have to be expensive or take too much time; you don’t have to be flexible; and your physical appearance doesn’t matter. Yoga is about community and your well-being. By practicing yoga, not only do you learn how to breathe and do the poses, you learn how to live your life.” Larisa is available to work with clients Thursday-Saturday at the Hunt Club Fitness Center, by appointment only. Please contact the Hunt Club Fitness Center at (847) 623-7788 for more information. Please allow 1 week notice for all Private Yoga Training requests.

He works hard at home, at work, in the community, and for his professional associations. If you give a task to Matthew he diligently gets it done, putting hard work and caring into all he does. He epitomizes the spirit of Marcy Adams. He is smart, versatile, empathetic, passionate, open, and above all, enthusiastic and energetic” said Lisa Sheppard, Superintendent of Recreation at the District. With Matthew leading the youth athletic department for the last nine years, the community has responded with a renewed interest in the park district, its activities, and parents’ trust in park district athletic programs. In the growing and ever changing Gurnee community, he has risen to the challenge of providing quality youth athletic leagues and programs. In his time at Gurnee, his leagues have grown to over 800 soccer players, 500 basketball participants and 500 T-ball players.

He has embraced the agency’s philosophy of working as a team. Matthew recruits, trains and leads a team of hundreds of volunteer coaches resulting in 2,500 hours of communityled athletics.

As a member of the Recreation Section she played a key role on the Teen, Senior and Membership, Elections and Social Committees.

Marcy then joined the Elmhurst Park District in August of 1997 as a Program Manager. Her positive attitude made her an invaluable team member of both park districts.

Matthew has also taken many leadership roles in various park district and community committees including: the Park District’s Health and Wellness Committee, Safety Committee, Strategic

PCA also provides workshops for high school athletes. “Working with hundreds of youth sports organizations around the United States, PCA has developed practical tools and guidelines to help youth athletes, their coaches and parents get the most out of sports,” said Matthew Vanderkamp, Youth Athletics Supervisor, Gurnee Park District. “We recognize the tremendous opportunity for character-building that sports offers for today’s youth, so we are embracing PCA’s Double-Goal Coach® model, where winning is a goal, however teaching life lessons is the second, more-important goal.” “We are delighted to partner with Gurnee Park District,” said PCA Executive Director Jim Thompson. “Together, we’ll strive to help their youth athletes take a positive approach to pursuing victories in athletic competition and in life.” In January, Gurnee Park District conducted a workshop, Developing Winners in Life through Sports to youth athletic program participants and the public. Look for more youth athletics parent workshops in the future.

About Positive Coaching Alliance

For roughly 3.5 million youth athletes. PCA’s partnership network includes more than 1,700 youth sports organizations, cities and schools. In 2011, PCA conducted roughly 1,300 live, group workshops across the U.S., while assisting tens of thousands of other individuals via online workshops at www.PositiveCoach.org.

Aquatic Center Waiver Important Information

The Gurnee Park District is committed to providing safe aquatic facilities and programs and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participant’s safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors engaged in aquatic activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury. Swimming and other aquatic activities challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment there is still a risk of serious injury and it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Gurnee Park District to guarantee absolute safety. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities associated with this Pool Pass. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical/aquatic activity. Please understand and recognize that lifeguards are not responsible for providing supervision or assessing your swimming skills or that of your minor child; rather, lifeguards are responsible for enforcing safety rules and responding to emergencies. Adult pool pass holders and parents of minor pool pass holders are solely responsible for supervision of any and all activities contemplated by this agreement. Additionally, children under 12 years of age must be supervised at all times by a responsible person, 16 years of age or older.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK Please read this form carefully and be aware that in consideration for this Pool Pass, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with use of the Gurnee Park District’s aquatic facilities and programs. I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain inherent risks of physical injury to patrons of aquatic facilities, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities and programs connected with or associated with this Pool Pass. I further recognize and agree that lifeguards and other aquatic staff are not responsible for supervising my activities or the activities of my minor child (ren) and I agree that I am solely responsible for supervising my minor children and/or assessing whether my children are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for aquatic activities. I additionally agree to supervise any children under 12 years of age at all times. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I, or minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of use of the Gurnee Park District’s facilities and programs against the Gurnee Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as “District”). I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the Gurnee Park District from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with use of the Gurnee Park District’s aquatic facilities and programs.
