President’s Message

by Robert Schmidt, President, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

Colorful leaves, shorter days and a fresh crispness in the air usher in a new season of pumpkins, hayrides and Halloween fun. As you say so long to summer and hello to school bells, cider and spooky costumes, Take Time for Fun with Schaumburg Park District’s awesome autumn of activities.

Get into the Halloween Spirit with a spooktacular lineup of exciting Special Events, including Pumpkin Splash (pg. 13), Family Pumpkin Carving (pg. 14) the Halloween House Decorating Contest and Tour (pg. 14) and the new Halloween Adult Scavenger Hunt (pg. 14). Take a magical and mysterious walk through Spring Valley Oct. 27 and 28 during A Haunting in the Valley (pg. 15), and close the Halloween season Oct. 31 at Halloween Boonanza, presented by Schaumburg Bank & Trust, a Wintrust Community Bank (pg. 15). The CRC and Safety Park will be transformed into a Halloween carnival for this popular fall celebration.

Wrap up summer at the 10th Annual Links Technology Cup, set for Aug. 9 at Schaumburg Golf Club. Golfers will enjoy a day of competition, lunch on the course with “Taste on the Tee,” prizes and dinner from Chandler’s Chophouse. Register early as this event always sells out. Funds raised benefit the Schaumburg Park Foundation (501 (c)3), which raises money for recreation scholarships and other special projects that serve the community.

Costumed teams will dodge, duck and dive Oct. 14 during the Great Pumpkin Halloween Dodgeball Tournament at The Sport Center (pg. 13). Whether you’re a player or part of the crowd, this event is always an exciting experience. Although the end of summer marks the end of the outdoor pool season, the splashtastic fun continues year-round at The Water Works, an indoor water park featuring a diving area, sprayground, rapid water channel and slides.

There’s still plenty of sunny days left to take in the gorgeous scenery at Schaumburg Golf Club (pg. 61) and Walnut Greens (pg. 65). Weather not fully cooperating? Play year-round, rain or shine at Schaumburg Golf Club’s state-of-the-art aboutGolf simulator bays. Located in the Club’s lower level, simulators are available for rounds of golf, practice, lessons and club fittings. Food and beverage service is available from Chandler’s Chophouse.

Keep The Water Works in mind for sharpening those swimming skills throughout the year. A variety of classes are available for all ages and ability levels (pgs. 22-24). Autumn is an excellent time to revamp your workout routine or embark on a new fitness journey (pg. 54-58). From the intense TRX Suspension Training and Indoor Cycling to yoga and aquatics, you’ll find something to keep you moving this fall. Take a brisk run around Volkening Lake with Fall Fun Runs (pg. 56). While you’re there, enjoy a workout with great views on the outdoor fitness equipment.

What better place to explore autumn’s bounty than Spring Valley? Stroll nature trails, view breathtaking scenery and take the children for a play date at Bison’s Bluff Nature Playground. Don’t forget to spend some time at Volkening Heritage Farm before the site closes for the season Nov. 20. Warm up to fall Sept. 16 during Volkening Heritage Farm’s Harvest Bonfire (pg. 74). The evening will be filled with wagon rides, fire-roasted snacks and a lantern-lit tour of the farm. Autumn Harvest Festival (pg. 13), sponsored by Davey Tree, will bring visitors back in time to the 1880s with hands-on demonstrations of frontier-era farm activities, crafts and games.

There’s so much happening at Schaumburg Park District this fall. So get in one last play date at Bison’s Bluff, dress up for Halloween events and race through the new Challenge Course during these lovely autumn days. Keep up with the latest District news by visiting ParkFun.com. Have a blissful and bountiful fall!

Embrace competition and improve your endurance at Schaumburg Park District’s latest recreation opportunity—Meineke Park Challenge Course (pg. 13). Students in grades 7 through 12 are invited to test their speed, agility and balance Oct. 9 during the Meineke Park Challenge Course Combine. The Challenge Course also offers a unique option to stay in shape with the Obstacle Race Training Program (pg. 56) starting Sept. 9.

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 communitybased projects such as the renovation of the museum at Spring Valley Nature Center.

Unlike many sports, FootGolf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of their competitiveness.

There’s no character in opera more powerfully dramatic than the court jester Rigoletto, whose acid tongue and all-consuming desire for revenge lead to catastrophe for himself and his sweet, love-struck daughter Gilda. Of all the great Verdi works, none boasts more unforgettable tunes than this one. You’ll thrill to the licentious Duke of Mantua’s La donna è mobile and Gilda’s stunning Caro nome, not to mention the most celebrated quartet in all opera. Dominating the story, though, is Rigoletto himself, one of Verdi’s greatest characterizations—a complex and tragic figure, both pitiful and ferocious, with stupendous music to match.
