Message from Executive Director
Molly Hamer
Hello Northbrook Resident, Strong, healthy and resilient communities understand and lean into the power of parks. The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has identified three pillars that are the foundation of what parks and recreation agencies do. “On any given day, someone is being positively affected through parks and recreation – whether they are taking a walk on a trail or a fitness class at a community center, listening to music in the park or reaping the benefits of clean air and water because of preserved open space.” – NRPA The Northbrook Park District demonstrates the NRPA’s initiatives and continues to be a national leader in Parks & Recreation through our program offerings, state of the art facilities and ongoing quest for improving operational efficiencies. We support the three pillars in the following ways: Health and Wellness: With over 543 acres of open space and nine miles of multi-use trails, Northbrook Park District encourages outdoor recreation in our parks. In addition, the construction of Techny Prairie Activity Center (TPAC) provides a variety of fitness and recreation opportunities in our new facility. Equity: All are welcome at Northbrook Park District. In July we re-opened the playground at Stonegate Park which offers many inclusive play features along with a new synthetic turf safety surface. With an eye to equity, we work with Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook to offer recreation scholarships to those in need. Funding from Northbrook Bank & Trust, N.A. provides support for these opportunities.
renovations, use environmentally friendly materials and supplies whenever possible, and are adding electric vehicles and equipment to our fleet. In addition, TPAC is the third Net Zero certified building in the state of Illinois, generating more energy than it uses through over 800 solar panels on the facility roof. Serving as the Executive Director for the Northbrook Park District has been the culmination of my rewarding career in Parks & Recreation. As this summer comes to an end, so does my time with the Northbrook Park District. With my upcoming retirement, a new Executive Director will be appointed by the Board of Commissioners in August. The residents of Northbrook are proud of their community. Every day I have seen active people embracing all that is available to them through Park District offerings. It has been very gratifying to work for a Board of Commissioners and with a team of professionals that are deeply committed to providing excellence to the residents. The Northbrook community is so fortunate to have passionate employees throughout the Park District. The team is dedicated to delivering phenomenal services. People turn to their parks to find fulfillment in their free time, to find fitness, inner peace, competition, healthy living, artistic expression, connection with others and connection with nature. It is my belief that this “play time” is essential for a balanced, purposeful life. Spending my lifetime in a career that provides such options for people has been a gift. Leading the team at the Northbrook Park District has been the bonus prize! Remember to play every day!
Conservation: As Northbrook Park District plans projects and initiatives, we keep conservation top of mind. We plant naturalized areas as part of our park

IMPROVING COMMUNITY SPACES The Northbrook Park District creates an annual Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as part of the Budget process. The document is a forecast of the administrative, park, facility, and golf projects and purchases for the upcoming year and beyond. The CIP is developed using the Goals, Strategies and Action Plan from the District’s Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) Update adopted by the Park Board of Commissioners in March 2022. The complete CIP and CMP documents can be viewed at nbparks.org. In 2023, three playgrounds were scheduled for replacement as part of this planning process.

A new playground was installed at Countryside Park located at the corner of Walnut Circle and Oakwood Road. This project also includes new park benches and a new drinking fountain. A grand opening party was held on June 6 to celebrate.
Stonegate Park
Stonegate Park is a 10.61 acre community park that includes two playground areas, ball fields, six pickleball courts, a soccer field, and pathways.

Newly installed Stonegate Park.
The playground at Stonegate Park is the Park District’s most inclusive playground. The new equipment, including playground colors and final design selection, was informed by community input gathered through two neighborhood surveys in 2022. In addition, a cross-functional team from the Parks and Planning Department and the Recreation Division worked together with representatives from Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association to select equipment to best serve park users with special needs.

RAINOUT LINE
The Northbrook Park District utilizes a notification program: Rainout Line. Rainout Line is a simple way to find out the status of a field or facility. There are four easy options: • Download the free Rainout Line App • Visit Rainoutline.com and search Northbrook • Click the Field, Facility & Status button on nbparks.org • Call 847-281-3370 and follow phone prompts
Lightning Warning Systems The Northbrook Park District has two lightning warning systems. One is located at Heritage Oaks Golf Club with ancillary units at West Park and Wood Oaks Green Park. The other unit is located at Techny Prairie Park and Fields with ancillary units at the Chalet in Meadowhill Park and Village Green Park. Strike Guard monitors cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The lightning warning system will activate when there is an immediate lightning threat in the area. When this occurs you must seek shelter immediately. The unit will deactivate when the immediate threat has passed. Activation (an immediate lightning threat is present) One uninterrupted (15-second) siren will sound and a strobe will flash. Deactivation (the system has determined conditions are safe) Three 5-second blasts will sound and the strobe will go off. Testing takes place on Tuesdays at 9:30am for the lightning systems. Be sure not to confuse testing with an actual alarm! Testing will not take place if there is threatening weather. Visit nbparks.org/status for more information.

YOUTH LEAGUES
Team up with the Northbrook Park District!

Team Formation
Teams are organized by grade, school and gender but may be combined if necessary. Staff contact you when these changes are needed and they will provide you with an opportunity to decide if the change is right for your child. Friendship requests are available online at nbparks.org.

Northbrook Sports Center Skating School
The Northbrook Sports Center Skating School follows the official Learn to Skate USA class curriculum. The Skating School will continue to add a personal touch to its educational programs and talent development as it has done for more than 50 years. The mission of Learn to Skate USA is to provide a fun and positive experience that will instill a lifelong love of skating. Fully supported by U.S. Figure Skating, USA Hockey and US Speedskating, with support from Special Olympics, the Professional Skaters Association and the U.S. Ice Rink Association, Learn to Skate USA offers every student a heartfelt welcome, lifelong benefits and fond memories. Passion: It’s why Learn to Skate USA is recognized as the world’s best ice skating program.
Figure Skating Lessons
Group lessons are a fun, challenging and reasonably priced way to learn and improve skating skills. Children who can stand in skates without support are ready to learn to skate. Students of all ages learn the proper way to skate from professionals in a structured and supervised setting. Students who register for the wrong level will be transferred into the appropriate class, if space allows. Otherwise, skaters will be removed from class and issued refunds.

General Registration Information Commitment to Quality
We want you to be happy with your recreation choices! If you’re not satisfied with a program or instructor, you may ask to repeat the class, transfer to another class or receive a refund. The Park District will try to resolve instructor and/or program issues to your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied, the full or prorated refund will be approved. Requests can be made at any Registration Office or by calling 847-291-2993.
Withdrawal & Transfer Requests
We understand that circumstances arise that may lead to a patron’s inability to participate in a class/program. Unless otherwise noted, a request for a transfer or refund can be made if: • The request is submitted three business days prior to the start of a program. • The instructor and participant agree the participant’s skill level is not appropriate. • The class is canceled or rescheduled and participant cannot attend at the new time. • The patron cannot participate due to illness or injury (doctor’s note may be required).
Refunds
All refunds are subject to an administrative fee of 10% of the program cost. Camps, workshops, before/after school care, golf course green fees, adult sports leagues, daily admissions, passes/punch cards, tickets to entertainment, special events and trips may have nonrefundable deposits and/or special restrictions. Refunds do not apply to program supplies/materials purchased, gift certificates, food and contractual programs.
Program Cancellations
When people wait until the last minute to register, classes may be canceled, so register early to avoid disappointment. If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, those who signed up will be issued a full refund.
Residency
All Village of Northbrook residents are not residents of the Northbrook Park District. Non-residents are charged a slightly higher fee for programs. If you have questions about residency, call the main Registration Office at 847-291-2993.
Health Conditions
Participants should notify the Park District at the time of registration about any medical condition that might require special attention by District staff. Information will remain confidential.
Code of Conduct
Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times in programs and facilities. That includes respect for all people, equipment and facilities and cooperative, positive participation. The staff will review rules with participants and may dismiss anyone whose behavior endangers safety or negatively affects a program or facility.
112
Are You Covered?
The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants; the cost would make program fees prohibitive. Review your personal health insurance plan to be sure you and your family have proper coverage. The absence of coverage does not make the Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. In addition, certain high risk activities require a waiver/release form, which must be signed before the first class.
Scholarship Requests
Because we believe every Park District resident should have the opportunity to participate in our offerings, we will attempt to provide financial assistance to those faced with financial hardship. Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook assists the District with the administration of our scholarship program. Applicants who meet the criteria can receive financial assistance towards recreation programs and memberships. Applicants only need to qualify once per calendar year and application forms are available by contacting Melanie Alexander at malexander@nbparks.org. If you have questions about the scholarship process, call Melanie Alexander at 847-291-2995.
Inclusion
We encourage participation by everyone and provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with ADA standards. If you require program assistance for special needs, check the box on the Registration Form to be contacted by the District’s NSSRA Inclusion Liaison. Questions? Call 847-291-2995.
ADA Compliance
The Northbrook Park District provides recreation opportunities for all residents and encourages participation by everyone. Programs and services are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as all applicable laws regarding nondiscrimination. We are happy to make reasonable modifications to assist anyone with special needs who wants to participate in a program. Please contact the District in advance of a program to discuss any necessary accommodation or if you need Park District materials in a special format, such as Braille, large print or audio cassette. The Park District provides a grievance process for resolution of any ADA complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of a disability. If you have any concerns about Park District ADA compliance, contact Eileen Loftus, Director of Recreation, c/o Northbrook Park District, 545 Academy Drive, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062, phone 847-291-2960 or email eloftus@nbparks.org. The Park District is reviewing its programs and practices in regard to ADA requirements and invites comments from the public.
