President’s Message

by Sharon DiMaria, President, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

Tis’ the season to Take Time for Fun at the Schaumburg Park District! With more than 70 pages of programs, classes and special events, you’ll find plenty of ways to make winter the most wonderful time of the year.

or voice lessons (pg. 36-38. Mark your calendars for Nov. 18-20 as Putting on Productions presents The Lion King Jr. and The North Pole Holiday Spectacular on Dec. 3 (pg. 35).

SPD gift cards make great gifts and convenient stocking-stuffers. Gift cards are available for purchase at all facilities and may be used for registrations, memberships, massages, personal training services and the golf pro shops.

Warm up to cool winter break camps (pg. 75) this season. Chill out at Way Fun Winter Break Camp, an all-day program offering field trips, games, gym time and art projects. Or, inspire the nature enthusiast in your child at Spring Valley Winter Break Camp. Campers will explore, track animals and experiment with snow.

Or, for a truly heartfelt gift, you might consider purchasing a personalized Tribute Park brick for that hard-to-shop-for person on your list. Located at picturesque Volkening Lake, the park features a memorial pathway of engraved bricks commemorating friends, loved ones, pets, special occasions and cherished memories. All proceeds benefit the work of the Schaumburg Park Foundation to support recreation scholarships and other community projects. The Foundation offers another venue for unique gifts at its annual Holiday Bazaar (pg. 69) from 10 a.m to 2 p.m., Dec. 6, at the Schaumburg Corporate Center located on the northeast corner of Schaumburg and Higgins Roads. Opening soon is Bison’s Bluff natural playground at Spring Valley Nature Center. The playground features boulders, logs and streams. This unique new play area will have children engaging in active, creative play in a natural setting. Tennis and fitness enthusiasts will love the renovations at Schaumburg Tennis Plus. In addition to a redesigned lobby, the renovation includes new office spaces and bathrooms and an updated look to the bar and grill area. It may be cold outside, but you can still break a sweat at any of our three fitness centers. The recently-renovated CRC has more than 22,000 square feet of fitness and program space to help on the road to a healthier you. Winter also is the perfect time to try out Fitness Unlimited group exercise classes (pg. 48-49) such as Cardio Kick Box or Tabata Boot Camp. Stressed out this season? Personal training sessions and massages (pg. 9) are available by appointment. Sing, dance and be merry at one of our many cultural arts offerings. Create with clay at a ceramics class (pg. 39) or learn to make music with instrument

Park Board Meetings

Put on your fleece and head to Spring Valley for a wintery mix of fun. Walking in a winter wonderland is even more exciting on snowshoes (pg. 67). Rentals are available beginning Dec. 1 and offer a unique way to explore the trails. Get a jump-start on holiday shopping Nov. 26 and 27 during the Spring Valley Holiday Bazaar (pg. 69). Gather the family for Christmas in the Valley (pg. 71), Dec. 3 and 4 at Heritage Farm and Merkle Cabin. The District’s favorite holiday special events are back! Santa arrives via helicopter Dec. 4 at the Schaumburg Regional Airport. During Santa’s Flight to Schaumburg (pg. 71) everyone is invited to enjoy a pancake breakfast in the hangar and personally visit with him for a photo. Busy Santa also will appear at Jingle Paws (pg. 70) on Dec. 3 and will make home visits to the very, very good Schaumburg children Dec. 6 and 7. Do your holiday lights shine brighter than your neighbors’? It might be the year your home wins the holiday decorating contest (pg. 69). Or, join the judges as they bus around town taking in the sights and voting on the win, place and show of outdoor holiday décor. And there’s so many other ways to Take Time for Fun this season … as you’ll read in the following pages. The Schaumburg Park District Board of Commissioners and dedicated staff wish you and your family the greetings of the season and happy New Year!

Northwest Special Recreation Association

Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs The Schaumburg Park District is proud to be a member of the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going new places are just a few of the benefits of NWSRA programs! Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the Park District (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program. Park District staff will contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation. Special Leisure Services Foundation, the fundraising arm of NWSRA, partners with public and private corporations, foundations and individuals to support and promote outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, the organization hosts a variety of fundraising events that help support accessible transportation, general programs, inclusion opportunities, the Kevin T. Kendrigan Memorial Scholarship program and NWSRA Lightning Athletes.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation supports the mission of the Schaumburg Park District by raising funds at events and through direct donations. Funds are used primarily to support the Schaumburg Park District’s recreation scholarship program which provides funds for family memberships, programs and events to those who might not otherwise have the financial ability to participate in District activities. The Foundation also supports community-based projects such as the renovation of the museum at Spring Valley Nature Center. For additional information on the Foundation or scholarships, visit schaumburgparkfoundation.org, or call 847/985-2115.

The Brave Way Self Defense Seminar

Give us two hours and we’ll teach you and your family to defend yourselves. Originally certified by the State of Illinois to teach police officers, it’s one of the easiest to learn and most effective self-defense classes. The techniques taught will stop an attacker immediately; don’t require constant practice or years of training to master and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. You’ll learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and defend yourself if needed at work, home, dating, when traveling and more. Students will also learn defenses against armed/unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing/ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. Participants also receive a Personal Safety Guide to help make you and your family safer in all areas of your lives. The class is targeted at teens and adults, but ages 8-11 may sign up and take the class with an adult. This class could save your life!

Hapkido is unique with its focus on the psychology of the street fighter and countering the techniques of other martial styles. Referred to as ‘the complete art of self-defense’, Hapkido incorporates all combat skills (joint-locks, pressure points, throws, escapes, strikes, ground survival and weapon disarming) for practical personal protection. Proper technique and leverage are emphasized over strength and power, making it ideal for anyone. MRC $135/$155 Barcode Age 17295 13+

Schaumburg Golf Club Infrastructure Enhancement The Schaumburg Golf Club was purchased by the Schaumburg Park District in 1989. The golf course was originally designed by the firm of Langford and Moreau in the 1920s and modified in the early 1990s. With the Club celebrating a quarter century in operation, the current golf course infrastructure is in need of major repairs. Confirmed through soil testing analysis from three independent labs, the infrastructure of the greens and bunkers, i.e. the soil composition, drainage, and irrigation, no longer adapts to varying weather conditions. Because of this, the District has developed a multi-year enhancement plan, which includes new and repositioned bunkers, modifications to the greens, a longer Driving Range with twice the amount of grass tee space, reconfiguration of two holes on the Players Course to alleviate flooding issues, alteration of the size and position of the practice putting greens and improvements to ease additional drainage issues. In addition, features of the original Langford and Moreau design will be reincorporated into the golf course.

Schaumburg Golf Club #1 Existing

Schaumburg Golf Club #1 Proposed

The Enhancement Plan will begin in June 2017 and includes three phases. Each 9-hole course will be closed separately, allowing for 18-holes to always be available for play. Construction is slated to begin with the Players Course and the driving range in June 2017. After the Players Course is complete, construction then will start on a different 9-hole course. The projected completion date for the entire project is mid-2020.
