CONFIRMATIONS

PHOTO POLICY

CLASS CANCELLATION

BEHAVIOR

Will I receive a confirmation that I am enrolled in a class when I mail my registration? If you have an e-mail associated with your account, a receipt will automatically be e-mailed to you. You will be notified if a class is cancelled or changed. Why would my program be cancelled? All Parks and Recreation Programs are run assuming minimum numbers are met. If registration does not meet the stated minimum, we will cancel the program a few days before it is set to begin. In this case, participants will be contacted and will receive a full refund.

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS

Classes will automatically be cancelled on days when Urbandale Schools are closed due to weather. Evening classes will be cancelled if Urbandale Schools release early due to weather. Classes cancelled because of weather will be made up whenever possible.

REFUND POLICY

Registration fees for programs cancelled by Parks and Recreation will be fully refunded. Our instructors, in most instances, are hired on the basis of enrollment. For this reason, participant cancellations will be eligible for a refund ONLY if cancellation is made before the registration deadline. Refunds may take up to 2 to 3 weeks.

TUITION ASSISTANCE

The City of Urbandale and Urbandale Parks and Recreation recognizes that, under certain circumstances, individuals cannot afford the program fees. If you are unable to pay full tuition for any of the Parks and Recreation programs, call the Parks and Recreation office at 278-3963. Tuition assistance is available for Urbandale residents only, under age 18.

LOCATIONS

Many classes are held at Urbandale and Waukee Schools. When the class location says “High School”, that indicates “Urbandale High School”. The City of Urbandale would like to thank the Urbandale and Waukee Community School Districts for allowing free use of school facilities! Please be aware that schedules may change due to school events.

Occasionally photos may be taken of participants in the programs, classes, and activities or of people in the district’s parks. Please be aware that these photos may be used in future program guides, brochures, web site, pamphlets, flyers or news releases. In keeping with our program goals, we encourage fun for all of our participants. However, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Participants are expected to: 1. Show respect for all participants and staff. 2. Refrain from using foul language. 3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants or staff. 4. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. If our staff has concerns about a participant’s behavior, the adult participant or child’s parent/guardian will be consulted immediately. If inappropriate behavior continues, we will re-evaluate their enrollment.

WAITING LISTS

Waiting lists are kept for classes that have reached maximum enrollment. We make every possible effort to add or expand these classes, depending on instructor and space availability. Names will remain on the waiting list until the day the program begins, in case an opening becomes available. Participants on the waiting list will be contacted if an opening becomes available.

INSURANCE AND WAIVERS OF LIABILITY

Individual accident and medical insurance for program participants is not provided by the City of Urbandale or Urbandale School District. To participate in any Parks and Recreation Program, you must sign a waiver releasing the city and school district from any and all liability. The waiver is on the registration form. It must be signed prior to participating in a program.

City of Urbandale Flags The City of Urbandale has 3 x 5 flags for sale. Purchase them at Urbandale City Hall for

Only $35.

Where, Oh Where Can My Little Dog Go?

Here’s the scoop! Dogs and their owners are welcome in many of our parks – as long as the pets are on a leash at all times and owners clean up after their animals. However, make no bones about it! We can’t sidestep the issue of pet waste. Out of courtesy to others using the parks, pet owners must take responsibility and help to keep our parks clean. Please bring a scooper and/or bag with you when you enjoy the parks with your four-legged friends. Appreciation and thanks are extended to responsible pet owners who, along with their pets, respect other park users and the park system.

TV STATION

Check out Urbandale News & Events on Mediacom Channel 86.

Tennis Courts

Tennis courts are located at South Karen Acres Park, Walker Johnston Park, and Lions Park. All courts are open to the public FREE of charge except at times when there are instruction classes and competitions. Please honor these exceptions. Court courtesy applies. Parks close at 10:30 p.m.

Bike Trails

Urbandale has an extensive bike trail system. A map of the bike trails is in the center of this guide. Additional maps are available at the Parks and Recreation office. If you are sponsoring an activity that includes the use of the bike trails, there are guidelines that need to be followed. Please call the Parks and Recreation office at 278-3963 for more information.

World Wide Web

The 24-Hour City Hall is Urbandale’s official presence on the World Wide Web at www.urbandale.org. You can quickly get information you need and be on your way!

Miscellaneous Information

The majority of our programs are held on school grounds. As such, there is to be no smoking or consuming of alcoholic beverages on school grounds – by participants or spectators! We schedule our activities in cooperation with the Urbandale and Waukee School Districts, but unforeseen conflicts do arise. Please be understanding when times or locations have to be changed – school programs do have first priority! Programs also come up during the year that have not been included in our Program Guide. Look for press releases in the Urbandale Register and our website at www.urbandale.org regarding upcoming activities offered by Urbandale Parks and Recreation.

Urbandale Tree Board

For more information about the Urbandale Tree Board, please contact Bill Cox at billco2@q.com.

NEW! Pickleball Court

The additional lines painted on the Lions Park Tennis courts are for Pickleball! What is that? It's OVERSIZED ping pong! Played with a ball a little smaller than a whiffle ball, pickleball is a paddle sport for all ages and all athletic ability levels. Just use a paddle to keep the plastic ball going back and forth over a net until somebody misses. Have Fun!

Equipment Rentals

For your back yard get-together, family picnic, etc., rent some sports equipment that will provide you and your guests with a day of fun! Kits include: Horseshoe Set, Bocce Ball Set, Bean Bag Toss, and Badminton racquets. Per game, the rental fee is $10 for up to 3 days, with a $20 deposit. Call Urbandale Parks and Recreation at 278-3963 to reserve your equipment!

Please don’t feed the Waterfowl!

While it may be tempting to feed the ducks and geese at City Parks, doing so is actually quite harmful. Human food causes malnutrition in waterfowl. Their delayed migration as a result, increases disease, erodes the landscape, and pollutes the water. Please help us preserve the balance of nature, the beauty of the parks and quality of life for neighbors – do not feed the ducks and geese! Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, contact Urbandale Parks & Recreation at 278-3963.

EMERALD ASH BORER OFFICIALLY IN POLK COUNTY

Now that the EAB has officially been confirmed in Polk County, the treatment phase for the City of Urbandale’s EAB program will begin. Using the ash tree inventory assessment compiled by the Urbandale Tree Board, (see sample tag at left.) select ash trees will be preventatively treated with the tree injection method to protect them from infestation. Trees not selected for treatment will be monitored for condition and removed as necessary. The City will make efforts to replant trees using recommended varieties of deciduous and conifers native to Iowa.

Water Fitness Classes

Page 19

These classes are aimed at improving tone, strength, flexibility, balance and mobility, while working at cardio-respiratory level, and focusing on improved target heart rates.

Routines will be set to music of all types. The advantage of exercising in the water is that it offers resistance in all directions, compared to land exercises where you work only against gravity. Because of the cushioning effect that the water provides, this form of exercise is particularly beneficial to anyone at risk from bodily stress, including the elderly, overweight, or those recovering from soft tissue injury. Its benefits include; burning approximately 250-550 calories per hour, increased aerobic endurance, greater flexibility and increased muscle tone. Prices for all water fitness classes are determined by month based on how many classes are offered during the month at only $5.00 per class. This is only $1.00 more than a regular pool admission! Participants with annual passes receive a 20% discount off all water fitness classes.

Deep Water Toning

Water Boot Camp

This unique form of exercise takes place in the deep water. It is designed for increasing strength and range of motion by working to tone your large muscle groups. Both aspects of this class are beneficial to your everyday life. Creating more muscle (toning) helps your body perform at its best, burning calories and replacing fatty tissue with lean muscle. Having more flexibility (range of motion), prevent fatigue, improves posture, prevent stress injuries, and ensure a healthier you. Water Belts are worn to assist you in maintaining the proper position while exercising with the zero gravity in deep water. The water also provides a safe environment for working sore joints or recovering from injury. This workout is also a cardiac-respiratory workout, giving you the full package to increase your fitness level. This class is set to music and is a fun way to incorporate some exercise into your day! Minimum 5; maximum 20. Registration Deadline: One week before the start of the class. Session Day Time Fee Sept. 9 – Sept. 30 M,W 6:00-7:00 p.m. $40 Oct. 5 – Oct. 28 M,W 6:00-7:00 p.m. $40 Nov. 2 – Nov. 30 M,W 6:00-7:00 p.m. $45 Dec. 2 – Dec. 30 M,W 6:00-7:00 p.m. $45

For many years, yoga has helped people of all ages and walks of life improve their sense of health and well-being. Yoga combines fluid movements with focused and attentive breathing. This aligns the mind and spirit with the physical body, creating a perfect “union”, or “yoga”. In today’s hectic world, daily stresses and constant mental distractions put tension into our bodies, sometimes to the point of making us ill. The purpose of yoga is to soothe the inner spirit by calming the mind and body. Yoga poses help slow us down, and we naturally become more focused and relaxed. As students grow in their yoga experience, the poses become more challenging, allowing the body to grow stronger and more limber. At any level, the benefits of yoga are the samestronger muscular endurance, sharpened mental clarity, deeper flexibility, improved circulation and immunity and above all a heightened sense of well-being. Let yoga start you on a journey you can enjoy for a lifetime-body, mind and spirit! This class is for active individuals who are injury-free. Session lasts either 5 or 6 weeks.
