Acevedo jacevedo@wheelingparkdistrict.com

Welcome to winter! Most of us dread the colder temps, but at the Wheeling Park District we help you cope by offering all sorts of fun, active and interesting activities.

Our upcoming special events include Breakfast with Santa, Happy Noon Year, Day of Service in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ties & Tiaras Dance. There are watercolor painting and calligraphy classes for adults, movie and paint parties for kids so parents can have a night out and day-time trips and activities for active adults.

Bring the entire family to our fun Friday game nights. Before you know it, spring will be here and it will be time for the Egg Scramble on April 4, and the Earth Day Celebration on April 19.

Dancing is another surefire way to beat the winter blues. It makes you happy and fires up your internal furnace. From 18 months to 14 years old and adult, we offer a class for you. Adults can sign up to learn the basics of merengue, salsa, ballet and hip-hop. New this season, there is no need for adults to register for a full session; sign up is available on a class-per-class basis for as little as $5. Check out the Fine & Performing Arts pages for more details.

With the weather limiting some outdoor activities, the new Health & Fitness Center is the perfect place to stay active. I can tell you firsthand that you will not find a more warm and welcoming place to work out anywhere! Weekday hours have been expanded to 5:00 am to 11:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, Friday until 9:00 pm, and weekends from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm. Be sure to check out some of the new classes, too, including Ninja Fit and weight-training.

Now that we have two gymnasiums available, there are more drop-in offerings for kids and adults. See page 33 for details or check the online schedules.

I hope you and your family have a warm and happy holiday season and I wish you all the best in the New Year!

The Wheeling Park District Preschool provides a secure and supportive environment for developing a love for school. A detailed Preschool Parent Handbook is available at Parent Orientation.

OUR STAFF

The Wheeling Park District Preschool Staff are qualified, experienced teachers who pride themselves on creating a warm, sensitive, safe, and educational environment.

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.
