At the Park Ridge Park District, we have long believed it is our responsibility to be good stewards of the land we maintain and to conserve our natural resources—and we are committed to doing our part. Several members of the Park District staff participate on an internal environmental committee, called Sustainability & Beyond. This group actively works toward maintaining and improving environmental practices within our facilities and programs, as well as educating the community about our efforts and what they can do in their own homes. Throughout this brochure you will see the logo above used inside "Did You Know" boxes that share information about the Park Ridge Park District's environmental practices.

The Park District purchases concentrated products whenever possible. Concentrates use less packaging and can help reduce waste compared to buying a new bottle every time we run out. Smaller concentrated bottles means less use of plastic. Plus, concentrated products means money is not being spent transporting water. The smaller size also requires less space on trucks, resulting in less gas used in the transportation process. Although these benefits seem small when viewed on the individual level, the benefits really add up when applied on a large & Beyond scale.
Beyond the Bell provides 180 days of care for $3 an hour or less!

From aquatics to camps to special events, M-NASR provides a wide range of recreation and leisure programs for people of every age, ability, and interest in our service area. We also offer inclusion services to anyone who needs assistance to participate in programs offered by member agencies. M-NASR is an extension of seven member park districts: Park Ridge, Morton Grove, Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Lincolnwood, Niles, and Skokie.
Inclusion Policy M-NASR and our member agencies believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability. Although many people achieve this through participation in a M-NASR program, others have greater success in an activity held in their own recreation agency. We adhere to the following principles when providing accommodations to allow for successful inclusion for individuals with disabilities in the activities of member recreation agencies: The interests and needs of an individual participant will be met, and the concerns of the family taken into account. M-NASR will support the member agency staff, and options and choices will be available for individuals with disabilities. For more information on Inclusion Programs for Park Ridge Park District, please contact the ADA Supervisor at 847-685-4400.

Youth Athletics Classes taught by All Star Sports Instructors. All programs focus on learning teamwork and sportsmanship.
Adult/Tot Super Sports
Bond and have fun together learning a variety of sports! This class is great for improving simple motor skills such as catching, throwing, batting, shooting, passing, and running, and helps develop hand-eye coordination. Parents participate with the child as we play soccer, basketball, hockey, t-ball, football, and other sports. This is a great intro to the All Star programs!
Super Sports
This is for the all-around athlete or for a child who wants to take a shot at different sports! Stay active and work on balance, motor skills, and hand-eye coordination while learning the rules of baseball, football, floor hockey, soccer, and basketball. We focus on a new sport each class and work on basic rules and mechanics as we play games that keep everyone moving. There’s no reason to pick a sport when you can play them all!
Jr. Golf
Jr. Golf is built to introduce children to the proper basic mechanics, know-how, and course etiquette at an early age. Golf is a game of repetition and mechanics, and each player stays active by taking many swings during each class. Maximum class size is lower in this program to allow the golfers to get individual attention from the instructors. The class involves basic swing practice, understanding the clubs, safety rules, and playing a small sided course that instructors prepare.
Golf Skills
Taught by certified All Star golf instructors, this program is built to expand upon the lessons learned at the junior level. We cover proper mechanics, know-how, and course etiquette. In addition, conditioning and drills help create a stable foundation to maintain balance throughout swing and increases core strength and mobility for increased club speed. Repetition and proper mechanics are the focal point. Each session involves basic swing practice, understanding the importance of shot and club selection, and competition drills to keep everyone sharp. Golf Equipment: Please bring a water bottle. *Equipment is provided but it is recommended that each child brings own clubs.
Speed & Agility
This class helps increase your child's speed and agility in their sport of preference. We help your child obtain that extra element to their game that lets them excel on the field or court. We focus on skills such as running form, start/stop speeds, directional change/acceleration, and fun games to improve overall skills.

This program prepares players for level II, t-ball, or coach pitch leagues.
Baseball Skills
Our trainers cover the importance of proper throwing mechanics, rotational hitting, bunting, fielding, pitching and catching. Speed and agility are added to increase core strength and mobility for added bat speed, range in the field and linear speed for base running.

Players have their first opportunity to be involved with baseball or softball as a team sport. While the focus is on playing games, having fun, and learning the rules, the mechanics of throwing, fielding, baserunning, and batting are also emphasized. Participants play each position, as teams are kept small so there is no sitting while players are in the field. Each player receives a team hat, jersey and trophy. Baseball/Softball Equipment: Water bottle and glove (may bring own bat)
Soccer
This program keeps everyone active and engaged. Our lesson plan hides drills in fun games and uses association techniques that get down to the player’s level. Soccer is an action-packed game, so there is no sitting and waiting! We cover simple foot skills, dribbling, passing, shooting, basic rules, and even work on spreading the field. This class keeps players active and prepares them for the next level of play.

Note: Refunds will not be issued for All Star classes after the third class of the session. Basketball
Our instructional program is designed to teach the game of basketball at a basic level while keeping players active and engaged. Fun games are played to teach the importance of each skill learned. Our foundation technique focuses on basic mechanics to build confidence, then adds larger challenges as we progress. Footwork is an extremely important aspect of the game. This means no players are sitting! We work on dribbling with each hand, passing, and shooting technique, and understanding basic offense and defense.
Basketball Skills
The All Star Basketball trainers focus on individual skills as well as team play. Each session begins with speed and agility drills that enhance each player’s ability to get up and down the court quickly, generate rapid change of direction, and create explosion to the basket. These sessions cover ball handling, proper shooting technique, footwork, and defensive/offensive strategies. Small-sided competitions and game play enable each player to focus and work on learned skills.
No classes July 2
Floor Hockey
Learn the game before the skates go on! Players learn the proper mechanics of stick handling, puck control, passing, and shooting. Offensive and defensive strategies are also covered while keeping the players active and engaged. Our instructors also focus on safety and rules, as contact is not allowed.
Floor Hockey League
This fast-paced, action-packed league is great for beginners or for children who have skated. No expensive equipment is needed. Most equipment is provided. You may bring your own stick, or the staff will provide one. All aspects of the game are taught including goal tending, puck control, shooting, and passing, along with offensive and defensive strategies. The players also focus on team play and sportsmanship. Equipment: Gloves (any kind that protect all of the fingers and hands), shin guards (soccer), helmet (may be a bike helmet).
Flag Football
We simplify the jobs of each position so players understand the importance of teamwork. They learn the main positions, both offensively and defensively, by having the opportunity to play them all. Contact is minimal; there is no tackling. We focus on the proper mechanics of running pass routes, receiving, line play, taking hand-offs, and throwing. Basic rules and in-game know-how prepare them for game play. Players learn the game without the risk of major injuries in a safe environment.

Safety
Illness
Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity.
For the well-being of all participants, any person who has a contagious disease or is running a fever, experiencing diarrhea, cold symptoms, or vomiting should refrain from attending programs or visiting facilities. Any contagious disease (i.e. chicken pox, measles, roseola, mumps, strep, or rubella) should be reported to a Park District staff member; as well as any cases of head lice, impetigo, or other skin disorders. Participants should be free of all symptoms for 24 hours before returning. Parents/Guardians will be called to come and pick-up their child if the child becomes ill during a class.
All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers, and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision or instruction, and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
Code of Conduct – Park & Facility Users All park and facility patrons are welcome to participate in programs, leisure activities, and recreational opportunities at the Park District. We trust our patrons to act in a civil manner and use safe practices while on Park District property. We will immediately address and take appropriate measures regarding unacceptable behavior, verbal disrespect, or abuse in order to insure the safety of all patrons and staff.
Code of Conduct Participants Safety is our utmost concern and we want all our participants to remember that good manners and behavior is essential to ensuring everyone’s safety and making your experience with us a pleasant one. We ask that you report any conduct that is not acceptable to the supervisor on duty.
We promise to provide quality recreation services. Visit prparks.org for our Satisfaction Guarantee. 98

Residency
Program Withdrawals
Resident rates apply to addresses within the Park District boundaries. Please check your itemized property tax bill to verify that you are a Park Ridge Park District resident.
You may request a withdrawal either by calling 847-692-5127 or by submitting a completed “Program Withdrawal Request” form (available on our website) and faxing to 847-692-6949 or emailing to recreation@prparks.org. If you withdraw from a program prior to the start, a full program fee minus a $3 administrative fee will be applied as a credit to your Park District account. If for any reason, you would like to be reimbursed instead of credited, please allow two to three weeks for refund processing. After the start, a prorated program fee, minus the $3 administrative fee, will be issued as a credit based on the date of the request. Special Events are non-refundable once event has taken place. The district may prorate the expenses already incurred in advance for any program or event. No refunds will be issued after the third class.
Proof of Residency Required The District requires proof of residency with all registrations except online registration. An acceptable form of proof of residency includes a current driver’s license, current utility bill, or current property tax bill.
Waiver Park Ridge Park District is a member of Park District Risk Management Agency (PDRMA). PDRMA is a self-insured pool that provides liability, workman’s compensation, and property insurance to its agencies. PDRMA does not provide medical accident insurance. As part of its loss control program, PDRMA requires each agency to have its participants sign a “Release and Hold Harmless Agreement” for all activities. The agreement is located at the bottom of each registration form and is provided along with league roster information.
No refunds will be issued for one-day classes/programs, outdoor swimming pool passes/memberships, ice skating passes/memberships, and facility rentals canceled within 30 days of the rental activity, EXCEPT in cases of illness, injury, or moving out-of-district, or at the discretion of the Superintendent of Recreation. For program changes and refunds for Brickton Art Center programs, please call 847-823-6611. The above policy does not apply if you are unsatisfied with a program; the Park Ridge Park District promises to provide quality recreational services.
