You’ll learn how you can manage and accommodate common agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. Must attend both days to receive certificate. You may be eligible to receive an insurance discount upon completing the course. Consult with your agent for details.

Here’s an opportunity for dog owners to learn how to handle and work with your dog while having fun at the same time. Training methods are motivational using positive reinforcements. The following commands will be taught: name, sit, down, off, walk, drop-it, come, stay and being a vet-friendly dog. Voice, as well as hand signals, will be taught for most commands. Please bring treats (really good ones) with you for your dog and don’t feed them too much before class. The dog will be more motivated to pay attention to you if he is hungry. Equipment needed: A buckle collar, a harness or a head halter -no chokes, prongs or shock collars please. A 6-foot leather or cloth leash no retractable leashes please. Dogs must be at least 4 months of age to attend class. Older dogs also benefit from training, and there is no truth to the saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Participants may purchase optional standard dog training collars and leads at the first class. Please bring a photocopy of your dog’s vaccination records to the orientation. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District. LOCATION CODE

YOUTH (5Y - 11Y) Yoga for Kids Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with physical activity that is noncompetitive.

ADULTS (18Y & UP) Strength & Bone Density There is scientific evidence that shows the benefits of weight bearing exercise on bone density. We reach peak bone density in our twenties and begin to lose it in our thirties. This is especially true without proper exercise, diet and with a family history of osteoporosis. This class takes you through a wide variety of light weight bearing exercises to help you stay strong and healthy. Our instructor, Jenny Young, holds a Master degree in Exercise Science and conducted her graduate studies on the effects of exercise on bone density. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

Yin Yoga Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of times. Yin Yoga poses will allow us to work the deeper tendons, connective tissue and ligaments with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Improved flow of energy may improve range of motion and flexibility, lengthen muscles, and improve organ health, immunity and emotional well-being.

Walking Club The benefits of regular exercise are enhanced when you exercise with friends. Our group will travel on the Park District bus each week to local parks in Woodridge and the surrounding area for friendship and fitness. Please dress for the weather. We recommend wearing walking/ gym shoes, sunglasses, a hat, applying sunblock and bringing plenty of water. During inclement weather, we will walk indoors at the Downers Grove Park District.

Zumba® Gold Zumba® Gold takes the popular Latin-dance inspired workout of Zumba and makes it accessible for seniors and beginners or others who need modifications in their exercise routine. Zumba Gold builds cardiovascular health by challenging the heart and working the muscles of the hips, legs and arms with dance moves. It’s a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

Zumba® Gold Toning The Zumba® Gold-Toning program combines the enticing world rhythms of the Zumba Gold program with the strength-training techniques of the Zumba Toning program, creating an easy-to-follow, health-boosting dance-fitness program for the active older adult as well as beginners. Students who wish to integrate the added benefits of strength training with the exhilarating experience of the Zumba fitnessparty will enjoy the Zumba Gold-Toning program. Through modified, dynamic lightweight resistance training, participants can help prevent age-related bone loss, increase muscle strength and definition, decrease body fat and improve mobility, posture, coordination and cognition. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

Golf One of Robert Bruce Harris’ first designs, Village Greens of Woodridge has been a staple of Chicagoland golf for over 40 years. Rich in natural wooded beauty, 18 holes of championship golf in a picturesque setting await you. Widely-known as one of the best values for golf in the Chicago area, Village Greens is a challenge worth telling your friends about. The course terrain is hilly and rolling with a variety of mature trees lining each fairway. Water comes into play on a number of holes, and sand bunkers lurk in strategic positions. Undulating greens, large landing areas and multiple tees on all holes create a course of both beauty and playability.

Co-op Facilities

If you see any suspicious activities in progress at a park site, please alert the Police Department immediately at 911. If vandalism has already occurred, please call the Police Department at (630) 719-4740 and notify the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

Woodridge Park District has cooperative agreements with the Darien, Downers Grove, Lisle and Westmont Park Districts to offer cooperative programming at nearby facilities. The Woodridge Park District remains committed to this tradition of cooperation to bring the best possible recreational opportunities to our residents at the lowest possible cost.

The Park District is now sponsoring a program specifically targeting arson prevention through the new Arson Tipster Award Program. The Arson Tipster Program rewards residents for providing information that leads to the arrest of the arson perpetrator or conspirator. All communication between the Woodridge Park District and the Arson Tipster is kept strictly confidential. The Woodridge Park District will not release or disclose any information furnished by the Arson Tipster without the Tipsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explicit consent and approval. Arson Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward. To provide a tip or get more information about the Arson Tipster Program, contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300. Thank you for helping keep our parks safe and clean.

Memorial Tree Program The Woodridge Park District Memorial Tree program provides residents the opportunity to purchase a tree in memory of a loved one or to honor a special occasion. Your participation in the Memorial Tree program will not only provide a lasting memory, but will also help to beautify our parks and trails. In addition to the tree, a bronze plaque is available and may include the name of the tree, year of dedication, name of person the memorial is for and a brief personalized message. â&#x20AC;Ż A Park District staff member will assist in locating the site, choosing the tree, and selecting the wording for the plaque. Planting of the tree can be completed in the spring before May 15 or in the fall before October 15. For more information, email Ryan Bordewick, Planner and Landscape Designer, at rbordewick@woodridgeparks.org.

Waterfowl Concerns Regular feeding of waterfowl can cause dependency on people for food, bird and people conflicts, and the spread of disease. Please refrain from feeding the birds at Lake Carleton and Lake Harriet along with other lakes in the area. The waterfowl have become used to handouts and no longer migrate south in the winter. The once wild birds have become tame and have lost their fear of cars and people, which can lead to traffic problems and possible injury. With the growing populations of waterfowl in small concentrated areas, the competition for food is high. The less nutritious handouts and harsh weather increase their susceptibility to life threatening diseases. We ask that you please do not feed the waterfowl. Thank you for your support. For more information, please contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

Information Satisfaction Guaranteed and Refund Procedure The Woodridge Park District offers a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” Policy for all of our recreation programs! (Trips, summer day camps, pool passes and one-day events excluded). We are committed to giving the residents of Woodridge quality programs at reasonable prices, and we are prepared to stand behind the programs we offer. If you are not completely satisfied with the program after attending two classes, stop by the Community Center before the third meeting to fill out an “unsatisfied” refund form. We will invite you to repeat a class at no charge, receive a credit toward another program in the session, or receive a full refund (minus $5 administrative charge). No refund will be granted after the third meeting of the program or after 50% of the classes have been held (whichever is earlier) with the exception of a written medical excuse prior to completion of the program. A $5 administrative charge will be deducted from the amount of refund for each program, including refunds for medical reasons. Medical excuses will result in a pro-rated refund based upon the number of classes held prior to the date listed on the physician’s excuse. No refunds will be given for a trip unless there is a replacement participant or the trip is cancelled. The Park District does reserve the right to cancel a program if the enrollment is not sufficient to justify sponsorship of the activity. Participants will receive a phone call and the option of a refund or leaving the balance on their account.We ask for your feedback to help us serve our residents to the best of our ability and to achieve our goal to make this the most cooperative, public accessible park district in the state.

The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants.
