Dear Resident,As my year of President of the Park Board of Commissioners comes to an end, I’d like to focus on the accomplishments of the Park District . It really has been a great year! Centennial Aquatic Center opened, and our pools experienced a record-breaking year! Centennial had a 38% increase in attendance with 63,940 admissions . Overall, all the pools saw a total attendance increase of 23% . If you haven’t gone to Centennial Aquatic Center yet, you’ll want to put it on your to-do list for this summer . And, if you already have been to the Aquatic Center, I know you can’t wait to get back! So, don’t forget buy your season pool pass . If you purchase before May 22, you’ll receive the early bird rate and save!

Along with aquatics, the District had many successful programs and events in 2014, such as the Beyond the Bell before and after school program and the new Carnival, resulting in 2014 being a great year financially for the Park District . I am pleased to share that the District ended the year with a surplus in the recreation fund of $1,164,716, compared to $757,713 budgeted . This allows the District to transfer $1,000,000 into the Capital Fund to assist with future capital needs .

I’d like to thank my fellow Commissioners and the staff for their dedication . Without this great team of committed individuals, these many successes would not have been achieved . I am honored to be a part of it, and hope for a successful re-election to be given the opportunity to continue to serve the Park Ridge community .

As you plan your summer, please remember how wonderful it is that there is so much to enjoy right here in Park Ridge . I hope you will Celebrate Centennial! with us on June 6 to experience everything the Park as to offer; revel in the Fireworks on July 3; laugh and scream at the Carnival on July 23-26; or just play in one of our parks .

It’s your summer, be sure to get out there and enjoy it!

• Please note: It is common for a swimmer to repeat one level for several sessions .

Water BabiesAges 6 months-3 with Adult

Infants are provided with a positive introduction to water in this class . Focus is on both having fun in the water and educating parents on how to work with their child in a pool environment . An adult must accompany each child and assist the child in the pool under the guidance of our instructors . All children that are not toilet-trained must wear a tight-fitting, plastic swim diaper .

Mighty MinnowsAges 3-5 without Adult

Adult Swim LessonsAges 16 & Up

Whether you are interested in learning basic swimming and safety skills or expanding your swimming knowledge with basic lifesaving skills, these lessons are structured according to the participant’s needs and skill .

Swim Team New!Ages 6-18

The Park District’s new swim team provides a competitive experience at a recreational level for girls and boys ages 6-18 years old . Emphasis is placed on learning competitive skills, enjoyment of the sport, and a lifelong participation in swimming . We are currently being considered to join the Northern Illinois Swim Conference . If we join the conference, we will have meets against other local park district teams on Wednesday nights .

Non-Competitive Swim TeamAges 6-18

This fun and low-key program stimulates interest in swimming by further developing each participant’s skills and introduces them to competitive swimming . As a prerequisite, participants must be able to swim one length of the pool front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke efficiently without stopping . This is a great program to discover if you are interested in competitive swimming .

DivingAges 9-11

This introductory diving class is for the avid swimmer who wants to broaden their horizons and learn the basic skills of springboard diving . Speed of progression naturally varies by participant, but goals of the class includes learning groundwork skills such as the tuck, pike, and straight positions, front dives, and the basic diving hurdle . We require that all participants are able to swim 25 yards unassisted, and each participant takes part in a mandatory swim test during their first day of the class .

Water Polo TeamAges 10-14

This class is designed to teach and reinforce the fundamentals of the sport through instruction, mild conditioning, and friendly competition between facilities . Participants learn the eggbeater kick for treading water, heads up swimming, proper ball handling, rules of the game, positioning, and general game play . There are two matches scheduled on Friday mornings between Hinkley and Centennial . This is a great opportunity for a head start into high school water polo . Emphasis is on having fun, learning the basics, and sportsmanship . Both the ball and goal are smaller than what is used at the high school level . Participants should be very comfortable in deep water and be able to swim at least 50 yards without stopping .

We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and through advocacy and awareness, promoting a successful leisure lifestyle for individuals with disabilities. Join us as we transform life’s challenges into opportunities.

About UsM-NASR, Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation, serves children, teens, adults, and seniors with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities and their families through community recreation agencies .

From aquatics to camps to special events, M-NASR provides a wide range of recreation and leisure programs for people of every age, ability, and interest in our service area . We also offer inclusion services to anyone who needs assistance to participate in programs offered by member agencies .

M-NASR is an extension of seven member park districts: Park Ridge, Morton Grove, Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Lincolnwood, Niles, and Skokie .

Inclusion PolicyM-NASR and our member agencies believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability . Although many people achieve this through participation in a M-NASR program, others have greater success in an activity held in their own recreation agency .

We adhere to the following principles when providing accommodations to allow for successful inclusion for individuals with disabilities in the activities of member recreation agencies: The interests and needs of an individual participant will be met, and the concerns of the family taken into account . M-NASR will support the member agency staff, and options and choices will be available for individuals with disabilities .

For more information on Inclusion Programs for Park Ridge Park District, please contact the ADA Supervisor at 847-685-4400 .

Attention...Individuals with Hearing ImpairmentsM-NASR has a relay system for individuals with hearing impairments who use TDDs . Information from all member park districts, including the Park Ridge Park District, is on file at the M-NASR office . This enables us to answer any questions a resident may have regarding park district programs . Please call the M-NASR office at 847-966-5522 (voice) or the Relay System at 800-526-0844 with questions .

Corporate Giving ProgramsDo you or someone you know work for an organization with a corporate giving program? These businesses have grant/fundraising opportunities in place for 501(c)(3) not for profit organizations like M-NASR . If you do, please contact us at 847-966-5522 . Sharing this information could provide immeasurable assistance to individuals with physical and mental challenges in your community .

The Liponi FoundationThe Liponi Foundation for Special Recreation was formed in 1990 to facilitate participation by children and adults with disabilities in recreation programs . If you are interested in supporting individuals with special needs by attending Foundation fundraisers or making a donation, please call Stella LiPomi, Foundation Treasurer, at 847-966-5522 .
