If you haven’t had a chance to visit the new 42,000 square-foot addition to the Community Recreation Center, I can assure you it is worth a look. The bright, new entry and Guest Service area is spacious and inviting. The 16,000 square-foot, two-story Health & Fitness Center also has a dedicated entrance leading to a 9,350 squarefoot fitness floor divided into zones for free weights, cardio machines and functional fitness. The first-floor group exercise room is also quite large. Two additional group exercise rooms are located on the mezzanine level. There is a private studio for Pilates Reformer Training and massages by appointment as well as locker rooms for use by Health & Fitness members. The second gymnasium has a floor surface suitable for a wide range of play including basketball, futsal, volleyball and pickleball. Be sure to note the extended hours for the Health & Fitness Center and Guest Services.

Improvements to the CRC continue! The upstairs rooms that housed the temporary Fitness Center are empty now allowing for the next phase of the renovation project to begin. The administrative offices located at the southwest corner of the building are moving upstairs to make room for the new Preschool. This space will include three toddler-size classrooms and restroom facilities along with a dedicated entrance and outdoor playground. This clears the way for more programming rooms on the northwest side of the CRC. All of this is taking place while the CRC remains open so programming and services can go on throughout construction. Visit our website for project updates while we grow to serve you better.

Fall is always fun at the Wheeling Park District. Join us for our FREE special events throughout the next few months including Fallapalooza on Sunday, September 15, Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 28 and our Thanksgiving Community Feast on Sunday, November 17. Find all the details on the pages of this Program & Events Guide. The changing of the season is a great time to enjoy golf at Traditions at Chevy Chase. Get out on the links and savor the beautiful scenery.

I am pleased to report that the park district was awarded a grant that allows us to continue our Unplug at the Park activities throughout the fall. Look for our mobile trailer at various parks and locations around Wheeling. You can find the schedule in this Program & Events Guide and on our website.

Parents may choose either before- or after-school care or both before- and after-school care.

The program sites are Tarkington and Field schools. Twain and Whitman students using before school care must be dropped off at Field School in the morning; they are bused to their home schools. Twain and Whitman students using after-school care will be bused to Field School and should be picked up there.

Parks and Facilities Information PARK HOURS

All parks are open from sunrise to sunset.

LIGHTNING PREDICTION & WARNING SYSTEMS

By measuring the amount of electrical charge in the atmosphere, Thorguard Warning System predicts with a high degree of certainty the probability of a lightning strike within a covered area.

This system warns guests and staff with a horn and strobe system when a lightning strike hazard is present. Areas served by Thorguard include Heritage Park, Family Aquatic Center, CRC and all adjacent areas and neighborhoods. The system is intended to warn guests and staff of probable lightning hazards in the area so lightning-related injuries and deaths can be avoided. Since Thorguard is a lightning prediction system, it is possible for the warning system to be activated even when weather conditions do not seem to indicate lightning is present. Be assured that these warnings are accurate and must be followed to ensure personal safety.

Two distinct signals sent out by Thorguard: RED ALERT External warning horns blare for 15 seconds and strobe lights begin to blink. This signifies a lightning hazard in the area. All outdoor recreation activity should be suspended and guests and staff should seek appropriate shelter, preferably indoors. ALL CLEAR External warning horns give three consecutive blasts lasting 3-5 seconds each. This means the lightning hazard has left the area and it is safe to resume normal activities. Chevy Chase is protected under the WeatherBug lightning detection system.

LOUD MUSIC & ALCOHOL

Loud music and outside alcohol are not permitted on any Park District property.

PETS

Pets must be on a leash length of six feet or less, including extendable leashes, at all times.

LOCKER ROOMS

The locker room is an amenity available for use by all CRC participants. The purpose is for storage of personal belongings while using the facility. Each participant needs to furnish his/her own lock. Overnight storage is NOT permitted. The Wheeling Park District is not responsible for lost and/or stolen property. Please do not store valuables in lockers. Wallet lockers are available in the indoor pool, gymnasium, and Fitness Center.

RAINOUT LINE

The Rainout Line helps keep you up-to-date on programs and events when adverse weather is forecast. This service lets you choose how you want to be notified.

VANDALISM

The Wheeling Park District has experienced a tremendous amount of vandalism. This vandalism in our community has included acts of arson, destruction of playground equipment and landscaping materials, destruction of bathroom fixtures, stolen materials and graffiti. Vandalism affects residents and other guests when bathrooms are closed, playground equipment is under repair and amenities are not available for use. Vandalism is costly to repair and results in higher insurance costs. In order to ensure the safest parks and facilities possible, we need your help. We ask that when you see or hear about vandalism or something that may be unsafe, such as broken playground equipment, or anything else that you feel may be hazardous, please call 847-465-3333 or complete the online Report a Problem form under the Parks and Facilities tab.

NO SMOKING

Smoking is prohibited in all wooded areas on Park District property and within 100 feet of any point of a soccer, baseball and football field, any outdoor court and all Park District buildings.

REWARD PROGRAM

Help the Wheeling Park District stop vandalism in your neighborhood park.

Call us with information about the person or persons who vandalize any Wheeling Park District property. This would include the destruction of any property such as vehicles, playground equipment or landscape materials, the theft of any equipment or materials, any act of arson, and any act of graffiti. If your information leads to arrest, case resolution and/or restitution, you will be given a reward from $500 to $5000. Your name will be kept confidential.
