President’s Message

by Sharon DiMaria, President, Schaumburg Board of Park Commissioners

It’s the time of year when days are starting to get a little longer, flowers are blooming and fun programs and activities are sprouting at the Schaumburg Park District! What better way to kick off spring than unveiling a brand-new playground designed to inspire active, creative outdoor play? Bison’s Bluff Grand Opening is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 22, at Spring Valley Nature Center. The grand opening also coincides with the celebration of Earth Day! Unique features of this exciting attraction include climbing structures, a meandering shallow stream, an artistic area where children may create with mud, sand and other natural materials, a musical area, hidden nooks and a sand and water play section. Spring marks the arrival of highly-anticipated Bunny-themed events, including Bunny Bash on April 8, Bunny Visits on April 4 and Underwater EGGstravaganza on April 13 at The Water Works (pg. 13). Families also may get into the “spring” of things with Family Egg Decorating Night on April 6 (pg. 12) and Family Fun Night on April 7 at The Sport Center (pg. 13). Join School District 54 in celebrating the community May 6 at Multicultural Fest (pg. 14) and cruise through Schaumburg May 21 with the Fahrrad Tour Von Schaumburg Bike Ride & Picnic (pg.15), organized with the Village of Schaumburg. Recharge and relax as the weather warms up by visiting Spring Valley (pgs. 70-71). More than 135 acres of prairies, woodlands and wetlands are waiting to be explored, with a historic German farm experience available at Volkening Heritage Farm. Take time to enjoy the many programs and special events at Spring Valley, including the annual Sugar Bush Fair March 18 and 19 (pg. 12) and Springtime on the Farm April 23 (pg.14). Youngsters will develop a love of nature through programs such as Breakfast with the Birds (pg. 73), new offerings such as Bunny Tracks (pg. 74) and Pioneer Pancakes (pg. 75). Be sure to get a head start on spring planting at the Backyards for Nature Fair and Native Plant Sale on May 21 (pg. 15)!

Tee up for the season at the 27-hole Schaumburg Golf Club (pgs. 6062) and the nine-hole Walnut Greens Golf Course (pgs. 63-64). April showers might bring May flowers, but don’t let them stop you from golfing. Play more than 40 world-class courses rain or shine at the Schaumburg Golf Club’s new indoor simulators (pg. 61). Enjoy tea parties, music, active fun and more at the District’s many Early Childhood programs. Children may bring their favorite dolls to the Dolly and Me Royal Tea, (pg. 48), learn a new language during French for You! (pg. 48) and dance to the music during Kid Rock classes (pgs. 45 & 48) or Kindermusik (pgs. 46 & 48). Spring also is an ideal time to revamp your workout routine. From Indoor Cycling and TRX to Pound: Drumming Extreme and Yoga Sculpt, a variety of the latest fitness classes are available to meet your health and wellness needs. The Community Recreation Center is a great place to start. Renovated in 2015, the CRC recently won the Illinois Park & Recreation Association’s Outstanding Park & Facility Award. The award is given to public agencies for exceptional and unique achievements in design and development. Discover the District’s numerous fitness options in the Fitness section (pgs. 53-57). Schaumburg Idol (pg. 40) is back! Local singers will have an opportunity to showcase their talents at this annual competition. Auditions are April 27, with tapings beginning in June. As spring takes us into summer, remember to save the date for the Schaumburg Park Foundation’s popular Solstice Hop & Vine Fest (pg. 2)! Enjoy a night of wine, beer and fabulous eats June 17 at Meineke Park. Tickets are on sale now at Active.net. Proceeds benefit recreation scholarships and other Foundation projects. Keep up with the latest District news by visiting ParkFun.com. Have a happy and active spring!

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. For additional information on the Foundation or scholarships, visit SchaumburgParkFoundation.org, or call 847/985-2115.

For more information on NWSRA, brochures may be picked up at Schaumburg Park District facilities or at the NWSRA office at Park Central, 3000 W. Central Road in Rolling Meadows. NWSRA may be contacted at 847/392-2848 (voice), 392-2855 (TTY) or 392-2870 (fax). Check out NWSRA and SLSF on the internet at NWSRA.org or Facebook.com/NWSRA.

Schaumburg Park District intends to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act by making reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. If you have any questions about the Park District’s compliance policy, contact the A.D.A Compliance Officer at 847/985-2115. If you or a family member has a disability, and are interested in participating in a program or activity, or if you or a family member require any Park District publications be provided to you in a special format, please advise our staff.

Computer Game Design

Specially designed software is used so participants can create multimedia computer games and animations. Developing a script or program is done by simply snapping together graphical program blocks much like LEGO bricks or puzzle pieces. Participants will learn how to create computer games with custom background settings, characters, animated movements, sound effects and more. If you are new to our Computer Game Design course, you will get started quickly and if you have previously attended a course, a new game will be introduced so you will get to learn new techniques. Students will receive a USB drive with the software and games they made to take home at the conclusion of the program. CRC $98/$118 Barcode Age Day Time Dates 18073 9-14y F 4:30p-6:00p 5/5-5/26

Imagine a young playwright on the make struggling to write his new tragic love story, Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate’s Daughter.
