DEAR VERNON HILLS RESIDENTS,<br />
1<br />
It’s the time of year for making New Year’s Resolutions. Whether yours is to explore the outdoors, commit to get fit, or investigate a new<br />
hobby, the Park District is your place to make it happen in <strong>2019</strong>!<br />

Have you visited our new and improved website? It follows the District’s branding principles as well as improved functionality. Be sure to<br />
sign-up for our Park Paths e-newsletter on the home page. District news will be delivered to your inbox on a monthly basis. We are also<br />
excited to announce that program registration is now available on your cell phone and tablet!<br />
Have you visited Lakeview Fitness? This is a great place to start those resolutions. I invite you to spend a day at the facility, swim and<br />
splash in the pool, warm up from the winter’s chill in the sauna, steam room, or hot tub, or take a fitness class. High school and college<br />
students can take advantage of a special student rate – just $30 for 30 days of membership during their winter break. New in <strong>2019</strong> is the<br />
Summer Slim Down – a 6-month membership beginning in January. Visit pages 32-33 for more information on these promotions.<br />
Don’t let the winter weather keep your family indoors. The ice rinks and sled hill will be lit daily until 9 pm for evening fun! The pavilion’s<br />
restrooms are open daily and the remainder of the pavilion will be open weekends for skate rentals and concessions. An afternoon of<br />
sledding, skating, or using the miles of pathways through our parks for hiking, cross country skiing, or just a leisurely walk is the perfect<br />
activity for a winter day, so come out and enjoy! Too chilly for outdoor walking? New this winter is a free program to walk in our gym on<br />
selected days, see page 5 for details. Log your walking from December 1 –February 1 and enter a chance to win free tickets to our Craft<br />
Beer Tasting event! See Page 13 for more information.<br />
Century Park is expanding on the south end near the intersection of Hawthorn and Lakeview Parkways. Amenities to this parcel include<br />
new paved paths, a restroom building, and multi-purpose open land with a park entry. The project is expected to conclude in spring<br />
<strong>2019</strong>.<br />
The Park District has many special events planned this winter beginning with a new event, Water Wonderland for families on December<br />
21. This is an exclusive open swim with a winter theme. Santa will even stop by to get his feet wet! Our annual New Year’s Eve Family<br />
Party is December 31. Music, open gym, pizza, an ice cream sundae bar, and a countdown to the New Year (at 6 pm)! The fun continues<br />
for families at <strong>Winter</strong> Fest on January 12. Families will enjoy a live ice sculpting show, dog sled demonstrations, roasting marshmallows,<br />
as well as ice skating and sledding. Just the Two of Us, a special evening of dancing for dads and daughters, is February 8, and our<br />
6 th Annual Craft Beer Tasting event follows on March 2! Listen to live music while Chicago area breweries pour samples of their ales,<br />
lagers, and stouts.<br />
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I wish you a happy holiday season and an enjoyable winter in the parks.<br />

Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County<br />
The Vernon Hills Park District is a cooperative member agency of the Special Recreation Association of Central<br />
Lake County. SRACLC provides community based therapeutic recreation programs to people of all ages with<br />
disabilities or special needs.<br />
SRACLC is a cooperative effort of the Grayslake, Vernon Hills, and Mundelein Park Districts, and the Villages of<br />
Hawthorn Woods, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, and Lincolnshire. Individuals residing within the boundaries of the<br />
Member Agencies are considered “residents” of SRACLC and may utilize the services.<br />
SRACLC offers more than 500 weekly programs, special events, and camps during the year. SRACLC also<br />

Park District or Recreation Department. SRACLC can help you with this opportunity by providing an extra staff, if<br />
deemed necessary, behavior management support, disability awareness training, and other adaptive services<br />
necessary for safe and successful participation.<br />

Sullivan Woods Seavey Ditch Clearing<br />
In June, 2018, the District contracted with Integrated Lake Management (ILM) for water way<br />
clearing in the Seavey Ditch at Sullivan Woods. The clearing began at Sugar Creek Park and extended<br />
north to Hawthorn Club Park. ILM removed dams and debris that were blocking the main water way<br />
that runs through Sullivan Woods. With the Seavey Ditch now cleared, water can freely flow inside<br />
the ditch and erosion to neighboring areas has been reduced. Additionally, ILM cut and removed<br />
potentially hazardous trees near the ditch. This practice enabled more sunlight to penetrate the<br />
once shaded area giving birth to native species that have been dormant. Due to the clearing, an<br />
increase in native plants, fish, and other aquatic life has been observed in areas of the ditch that<br />
was once void of life.<br />
Fruit Trees in the Parks<br />
In 2016, a new concept of planting fruit trees throughout the parks was implemented into the<br />
District’s Tree Replacement Plan. It began with Apple (Honeycrisp, Gala, Golden Delicious, Liberty &<br />
Northern Spy), Paw Paw, and Persimmon trees in addition to Cherry (Bing and North Star) trees. The<br />
results of these plantings became evident in 2018 when the Cherry trees fruited in early summer<br />
and the Apple trees grew their first crops of fruit. As the apples began to ripen, the fruit steadily<br />
disappeared from the public picking them, which was the District’s plan of having fresh fruit<br />
available to anyone visiting District parks!<br />
In fall 2018, Plum and Apricot trees were added in the parks. The District will not spray any fruit<br />
trees enabling the fruit to be chemical free. Consequently, the fruit may experience some bugs. Each<br />
year, the District will add more of each type of fruit tree, eventually having a wide variety of Apple,<br />
Pear, Plum, Peach, Cherry, Persimmon and Paw Paw trees throughout the parks.<br />
Pecan and Hybrid American Chestnut trees also have been planted in the parks in hopes the nuts<br />
they produce can be enjoyed by the public as well.<br />
Century Park Arboretum Island Tree Removal Project<br />
In Fall, 2018, a large scale tree removal project was conducted on the Century Park Island. Austrian<br />
Pine trees were heavily planted nearly 30 years ago when the town and District were developed.<br />
The island had 60 Austrian Pines that were either dead or declining. Austrian Pines do not have a<br />
long life span in this region due to the weather changes. They have difficulty supporting themselves<br />
creating stress, making them vulnerable to parasites and pathogens. The Austrian Pine becomes<br />
vulnerable to fungi that attack the new and old growth. The combination of these factors leads them<br />
to turn brown and die quickly, within 2-3 weeks.<br />
Due to the tree quantity and the restrictions of being on an island with limited access, the tree<br />
removal project was beyond the capabilities of the District’s parks department. Utilizing a<br />
contractor, the project consisted of cutting down the trees, hauling them off the island, grinding out<br />
the stumps and over seeding the areas.<br />
The District is working on a Tree Replacement Plan for the island.<br />

Go Vernon Hills<br />
#vhparks<br />
Thank you for making GO Vernon Hills'<br />
first summer great!<br />
GO VERNON HILLS, presented by Vernon Hills Park District,<br />
is a community walking movement designed to promote<br />
community values of health and wellness through<br />
activities, education, and community collaboration.<br />
Vernon Hills Park District has partnered with the Lake<br />
County Health Department on its county wide initiative<br />
to improve the health of Lake County residents. Walking<br />
is a gentle, low-impact exercise that is easy, free, and<br />
accessible to everyone.<br />
Live Well Lake County is promoting the simple act of<br />
walking as a means to improve health. This movement<br />
is in response to the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H.<br />
Murthy’s call to action at the National Park and Recreation<br />
conference in September 2015. His challenge focuses on<br />
the health benefits for people of all ages and stages of life<br />
walking at least 30 minutes each day.<br />
There are many benefits to walking 30 minutes every day.<br />
Walking can help to prevent and reduce the risk of chronic<br />
diseases, premature death, and supports positive mental<br />
health.<br />
In addition to wanting your presence at GO VERNON<br />
HILLS events, step up and become a champion for this<br />
movement! Being a champion is very easy. Spread the<br />
word to others about joining the movement and become<br />
a walk leader. Our goal is to have a champion attend<br />
every GO VERNON HILLS walk and possibly lead walks in<br />
your neighborhood. Please contact Cheryl Buhmann at<br />
cherylb@vhparkdistrict.org to become a champion!<br />

Welcome Lorena Vazquez!<br />
Lorena knew she wanted to work with children since she was<br />
a child. She played “school” with her friends, making pretend<br />
homework pages for them.<br />
Her teaching career began as a play, art, and music teacher for<br />
Gymboree Play & Music. Thereafter, she became an assistant<br />
teacher at a Montessori school, while completing her Child<br />
Development Associate Credential. Recently, she went back to school to earn a degree<br />
in Early Childhood Education. In addition to her passion for children and teaching, she<br />
has a strong love for the arts. When not in the classroom, you can find her singing or<br />
performing improv comedy.<br />

It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where each child is recognized and appreciated. Our<br />

Our highly experienced staff will assist your children in developing a sense of independence and confidence as they<br />
develop social relationships with other children. Daily instruction is provided to foster your child’s literary, cognitive, and<br />
fine and gross motor skills.<br />
We offer the best value for your money! A new, secure, beautiful facility opened in January, 2017, with highly-qualified<br />
staff dedicated to teaching our young students! Our large classrooms are equipped with child-sized bathrooms and all<br />
new classroom furnishings. We have an expanded outdoor playground too! Consider our school-year preschool programs<br />

FAQs<br />
Do preschoolers need to be potty trained?<br />
Children in 2 Year Old Preschool do not need to be potty<br />
trained, however instructors are not responsible for<br />
changing diapers. Children in 3 and 4 Year Old Preschool<br />
must be potty trained.<br />
What is your discipline policy?<br />
We use a brief time-out in the classroom. Our goal in using<br />
this technique is to remove a child from the situation long<br />
enough to allow him/her to regain control of him/herself.<br />
Positive redirection is another core discipline procedure.<br />
Appropriate boundaries and rules for behavior are<br />
established early in the school year.<br />
Can I observe a class in session?<br />
Yes! Call Gail Herrmann at (847) 996-6808 to set up an<br />

Swim Lessons<br />
27<br />
The goal of the Park District’s swim program is to<br />
create a life-long interest in aquatics activities,<br />
promote a healthy lifestyle, and improve a child’s<br />
safety in the water. Lessons follow the American Red<br />
Cross Learn-to-Swim guidelines. Taught by instructors<br />
who are certified lifeguards, our lessons feature<br />
progressive swimming instruction and practice of<br />
water safety skills. Upon successful completion of<br />
each level, swimmers will receive an American Red<br />
Cross certificate.<br />

Select the Right Class<br />
Before Class<br />
Review the general descriptions. Choose the first class that lists a skill that your<br />
child has not yet mastered.<br />
First Day of Class<br />
Children’s skills will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure that they are<br />
placed in the proper level. Adjustments will be made if necessary. Swimming<br />
requires motor coordination and practice to become proficient.<br />
Keep in Mind<br />
It is not uncommon to spend more than one session in a particular level. This<br />
is especially true with levels 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, do not expect your child to<br />
automatically advance to the next level at the end of a session.<br />
Questions<br />
If you are unsure about your child’s abilities or have questions about the different<br />
courses or swim class policies, contact Robert Wood, Aquatic Supervisor at (847)<br />
996-3488.<br />
Parent/Tot Lessons (6 Months-4 Years)<br />
You and your child will be exposed to water adjustment activities and<br />
experience supported movements in a fun and enjoyable manner. This program<br />
is designed to let children have fun in the water through games and activities<br />
while developing swimming readiness. Only one child per adult will be<br />
allowed. If more than one child is enrolled, a second adult must be present.<br />

toward another Park District program or accept a credit for future use.<br />

start of the program and a full refund is issued.<br />

Americans With Disabilities<br />
The Vernon Hills Park District will comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA),<br />
which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to<br />
individuals with disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact our<br />
staff or our SRA staff, upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you have<br />
any questions regarding the Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly<br />
discriminated against in the provision of programs, services, or activities of the Vernon<br />
Hills Park District, please contact the District ADA Compliance Officer, Tom Ritter by mail<br />
at 635 N. Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 or by telephone at 847-996-6802. For<br />

Food Allergy Policy<br />
The Park District will attempt to accommodate each program participant who has a<br />
food allergy in order to provide the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy<br />
Action Plan will be created by the District staff and parents and will identify operational<br />
practices for parents, teachers, and children to follow. For a copy of the Food Allergy<br />
Policy, contact Tom Ritter, Superintendent of Recreation, at (847) 996-6802.<br />

program supervisor is authorized to make exceptions to these age ranges. Consideration<br />
will only be given once all age-appropriate participants have had an opportunity to<br />
register.<br />
Payment Policy<br />
Households with an unpaid balance will not be allowed to register for any Vernon Hills<br />

full. For assistance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Operations Manager at<br />

Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees<br />
Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park District<br />
by paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the Park<br />
District are eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each Vernon<br />
Hills household is required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for resident<br />
rates. Families living within Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible to receive<br />
resident discounted rates for programs, Lakeview Fitness memberships, and Lakeview<br />
Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are facility rentals and daily admission to the<br />
Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents must wait until the non-resident<br />
registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees are the second fees shown<br />
in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are necessary in order to<br />
ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall financing of the park<br />
system on an equitable basis with residents.<br />
Senior Citizen Discount<br />
Senior discounts are available for individual passes and membership to our Fitness<br />
Center for residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic<br />
Center, a 20% discount will be applied.<br />
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy<br />
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient funds.<br />
Photo & Video Policy<br />

advertising our programs, services, events, activities, and facilities in our brochures,<br />
website or agency social media, and other promotional avenues. By registering for,<br />
participating in or attending District programs, events, or other activities, the participant<br />
(or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use and distribution<br />
by the Park District of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward) in photographs,<br />
video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such programs, events and<br />
activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and without compensation,<br />
rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the future.<br />
Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its<br />
informational materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing<br />
Coordinator, at cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.<br />

maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help.<br />
Should you see vandalism occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449.<br />
Discipline<br />
A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff periodically reviews rules with<br />
participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt<br />
resolution will be sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline.<br />
The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions endanger the<br />
safety of himself or others.<br />
