Celebrate Life!

Tribute Park at Volkening Lake The Schaumburg Park District’s Tribute Park at Volkening Lake commemorates and honors the memories, special events and achievements of Schaumburg residents and others.

The tribute areas highlight the site’s natural beauty. Join the District in support of this project by purchasing a memorial pathway stone. The bricks are placed throughout walkways and walls of the park, and are a wonderful opportunity to give someone permanent recognition or commemorate a significant event.

Pathway stones, available in a variety of sizes, are permanently engraved with personalized messages in memory or recognition. The proceeds benefit the Schaumburg Park Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization.

The purchase of a path stone is not limited to memorials. Other uses and honors include: • • • • • •

Milestone birthdays Graduations Marriage proposals Anniversaries Recognize a civic group Pets

Commemorative benches also are available.

The Tribute Park is part of Volkening Lake Recreation Area, located adjacent to Schaumburg Road and Salem Drive. It has ample parking, is accessible and hosts a number of events and activities throughout the year.

President’s Message

By Sharon DiMaria - President, Board of Park Commissioners

It’s spring? Although not quite time to put away the snow shovels and mittens, this program guide is a sure sign that longer days and a return to the outdoors are just weeks away.

But winter leaves its legacy behind! Inactivity and the tendency to eat heavier foods combine for a poundage two-punch. So, we’re paying the price for those holiday indulgences and snuggling on the couch during snowstorms!

The Schaumburg Park District offers many ways to get in almost-summer shape. Adult choices include three phenomenal fitness centers and a countless array of fitness classes. If you’re trying to keep, or renew New Year’s fitness resolutions, Fit Quest offers assistance through help with fitness goals and meetings with personal trainers.

Kids’ fitness is supported through the many programs identified with the Schaumburg CAN logo (C-A-N – Children, Activity, Nutrition, the consortium of local agencies promoting healthy choices to address childhood obesity in our community). With open swim hours at The Water Works, athletic programs at the Sport Center and healthy eating classes for tots, children take steps towards becoming healthier, more active and well nourished.

And there are leisure and fitness options that are perfect for everyone… hike at Spring Valley Nature Center, swim at The Water Works, take a dance class, play in a sports league, walk through a park…

In fact, Volkening Lake Recreation Area, one of Schaumburg’s favorite strolling areas, has been enhanced with new pathways and landscaping. A Tribute Park, featuring commemorative bricks for purchase, is part of the project.

Put your message on a pathway stone! Your message may be commemorative or mark a memory or achievement such as graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, pet memorials, and even marriage proposals! Bricks are available in three sizes and may be purchased through the Schaumburg Park Foundation (additional information on facing page). An area of the park also is set aside for organizations whose members wish to keep their bricks together around a central logo’d paver.

Spring events are back. For the second year, the District is partnering with Whole Foods Market in Schaumburg in presenting Sugar Bush Fair, from 9 a.m. to noon, March 17 and 18 at Spring Valley. As a generous corporate

Park Board Meetings

The Schaumburg Park District Park Board meetings are the second Thursday of every month at 8PM at the Jerry Handlon Administration Building, 235 E. Beech Drive, Schaumburg.

sponsor, Whole Foods is donating all of the pancake mix, maple syrup, sausages (including a veggie version), juice, coffee and hot chocolate. The event promises to be a celebration of nature’s goodness with truly organic ingredients!

The family dog isn’t to be left out! The April 14 Canine Carnival will provide your pooch a tail-wagging good time. The event features games, costume contests, potato sack races, treats and an agility course.

The Bunny hops back into town for a series of events for the whole family.

The Community Recreation Center will be turned into a springtime carnival during the Bunny Bash on March 31. The event will feature egg hunts, a photo with the Bunny, games, crafts, pony rides and a petting zoo. If you miss the Bash, there are more opportunities to see spring’s favorite rabbit.

The Bunny will make five minute house calls to resident homes on April 3 and children have the chance to jump into The Water Works pool and hunt for “hidden” eggs on April 5.

The lovely songs from Enchanted Sleeping Beauty and Rodger and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! will fill the Community Recreation Center.

The always-on-the-go seniors of Schaumburg have a season full of tours, fitness programs, luncheons and theatrical performances ahead of them.

Who will be Schaumburg’s next Idol? Talented local vocalists will try their luck on March 8 and 10 to make it into the top twelve. In its fourth season on WSPD-TV, Idol promises to showcase the friendly rivalry of aspiring singers this summer during the televised competition.

Get training for June’s Home Run 5K and July’s Triathlon and Duathlon early!

From triathlon training courses and RPM cycling to yoga and CorePole, fitness classes will have you ready for spring races and looking great for bathing suit season.

As always, these are just a few of the highlights this spring! Hundreds of additional activities and events are listed here in the program guide. Don’t forget to think ahead and register your children for summer camps.

Happy Spring!

Twelve contestants will be chosen to compete for eight spots, which will then be narrowed down to four, then two and eventually one Schaumburg Idol. Contestants advance according to the highest combined judge and community votes. Prizes will be awarded to the winner.

“Schaumburg Idol was an awesome experience.

I met so many great girls that share the same passion for singing as I do. The suggestions from the judges really helped me find new ways to express my voice through different genres.

The experience was challenging, but it’s a great way to meet new people in the community. I love performing at different community events and look forward to meeting next year’s contestants.”

Empowering families to make healthy choices.

You’ll notice this icon throughout this edition of the Park District’s Program Guide. We’re hoping this draws attention to the multitude of choices your family has for physical activity and vigorous fun.

This effort is part of the Park District’s participation in Schaumburg CAN (Children, Activity, Nutrition), a program funded by a grant to the YMCA USA from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Schaumburg CAN’s mission is to align the community around opportunities that build a foundation of healthy activity and nutrition for our children.

The Schaumburg CAN consortium includes the Campanelli YMCA, Alexian Brothers Hospital Network, Schaumburg Park District, School District 54, Village of Schaumburg, the District 54 PTA Council, Harper College, Schaumburg Township and the Children’s Home and Aid Society.

These organizations are committed to finding positive solutions to support and encourage those who live and work in Schaumburg to increase activity levels and improve nutrition.
