President’s Message

Welcome to the Schaumburg Park District’s busy Fall!

As this program guide looks ahead to the cooler months, it also takes a look back at the District’s accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2013-14 with inclusion of our Agency’s Annual Report. You’ll find the report in the center of this book. It’s a wonderful snapshot of a year’s worth of projects, programs and activities at the District.

There’s a lot going on this fall! Scenic walks surrounded by autumn colors at Volkening Lake, new senior trips, campfires at Spring Valley and Halloween activities are a few of the ways to Take Time for Fun with the Schaumburg Park District.

Tee it up Aug. 13 at Schaumburg Golf Club for the 7th Annual Links Technology Cup Golf Outing. This exciting day of competition will give golfers a practice range warm-up, 18 holes of golf with cart, contests, prizes and a steak dinner provided by Chandler’s Chophouse. Every-other-hole on the course features food and/or beverages from area restaurants. The golf outing benefits projects of the Schaumburg Park Foundation.

The Schaumburg Golf Club and Walnut Greens Golf Course will continue to offer daily tee times through the fall. Enjoy a round of golf as the leaves begin to change for the season. Check page 50 for special rates and hours.

Take a walk around Spring Valley Nature Center to see fall colors, and stop by Volkening Heritage Farm for exciting programs featuring live music, crafts, and demonstrations of cider pressing, blacksmithing and grain threshing. The Autumn Harvest Festival, on page 72, held Oct. 5 will bring history to life and teach visitors about 1880s farm life. On page 75 is the ever popular Hog House to Smokehouse held Nov. 9 which will show visitors where bacon comes from, and how Schaumburg residents from the 1880s preserved food for the winter. Participants will make sausage and smoke hams.

Man’s best friend will have a tail-wagging good time dressed up in costumes at the annual Howl-O-Ween Pooch Parade on Oct. 11. This event will give them something to bark about with trick contests, an agility course, a pooch parade and a costume contest.

Humans will enjoy fun frights this fall at the Oct. 18 Family Pumpkin Carving at the Bock Neighborhood Center. Pumpkin Splash returns to fill The Water Works with pumpkins on Oct. 25 when children pick pumpkins from this watery pumpkin patch. Spooky Schaumburg residents will deck out their homes in scary decorations for the Halloween House Decorating Contest and Tour on Oct. 28. The contest entry form is available on page 74. And, when Halloween arrives, celebrate at Boonanza at the Community Recreation Center. The evening will feature hay rides, crafts, carnival games, moonwalk, entertainment, trick or treating and more!

Duck! Dodge! Duck! At the Great Pumpkin Halloween Dodgeball Tournament featuring teams dressed in costumes battling it out for the championship.

Division information is on page 75.

Seniors may look forward to a new schedule of trips and activities in the Senior Center at CRC or competing in the Silver Games from Sept. 4-10.

Information for the Silver Games is on page 62. Register early as teams fill quickly!

Auditions will be open Sept. 9 and 11 at the Community Recreation Center for Disney’s Peter Pan, Jr. Audition information is available on page 34.

It’s quite a jam-packed season here at the District. Stay in touch so you don’t miss anything. Browse the program guide, follow the Park District on Twitter, Facebook, and sign-up for the bi-weekly e-newsletter. Enjoy the coming season and Take Time for Fun.

In the adventure of a lifetime the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, and of course the villainous Captain Hook.

Ageless Grace®

Ageless Grace ® is a fun, creative, playful exercise program practiced to music while seated in a chair. This innovative program is composed of 21 simple tools for lifelong comfort and ease. Ageless Grace is an Anti-Aging fitness program for body and BRAIN based on the Science of Neuroplasticity. Each of the 21 simple ‘tools’ work the core organs and systems of the body, activate the five areas of the brain and address a primary factor that causes physical aging and / or cognitive decline. We lubricate our joints, strengthen our muscles, exercise our brains, and improve our flexibility, hand-eye coordination, breath, balance and tickle our funny bones! We practice barefoot to improve the flexibility and strength in our feet. Come and experience movement as you did when you were a kid and feel younger with every workout. It’s never too late to begin. It’s never too late to start.

Meditation: Tapping Your Inner Reservoir

Meditation is a powerful tool for our creativity, wellbeing and happiness. We learn to go beyond the mind’s noisy chatter, to an extremely refreshing place. Many exciting studies have found, people who meditate regularly, find it easier not to cling to old thought-patterns. Many old, rigid habitual thinking and feeling patterns begin to transform of their own accord. The person’s mind is actually learning to heal itself.

Regular meditation practice allows the mind to detach from its typical preoccupations, to an experience of expansiveness and peace. This is one of the most important things you will ever learn.

Celebrate Life!

Tribute Park at Volkening Lake Commemorate a friend, loved one, pet or cherished memory forever in Schaumburg’s Tribute Park

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

Pathway stones, available in three sizes, are permanently engraved with personalized messages. Proceeds from the project benefit the Schaumburg Park Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization.

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.

Memorialize a loved one on a Tribute Park bench!
