Dear Vernon Hills Residents,

The Vernon Hills Park District looks forward to continuing to reopen and fulfill its vision to address the

lifelong leisure needs of all Vernon Hills residents. In accordance with the State of Illinois’ Restore Illinois Plan,

staff continues to plan for the return of programming and reopening of facilities as detailed in Phase 4 Recovery.

Mission Statement

opportunities by providing a variety of programs,

enhance the quality of life for

our residents.

Below are the details for specific areas of interest:

• The Farmers Market is open every Thursday from 3-7 pm in Century Park through October 8. This year, the market is operating as

an “In & Out” market with safety measures in place. Visit the Farmers Market web page for vendor listings.

• Our final summer camp is Last Blast Camp offered in a 2-week session for grades K-7 in August with an extended care option. Registration is still open for this camp.

Offsetting Electrical Costs with Solar Panels

Vernon Hills Park District is working with Trane/Ingersoll Rand to apply for grant funding

through the Illinois Shine Program that is administered by the Illinois Power Agency

(an independent state government agency) for solar development on the District's Park

Maintenance Facility rooftop.

The solar panels will save the District roughly $5,000 per year in electrical costs and

cut down approximately 70% use off of the electrical grid. The Illinois Shine Program

assists municipal agencies to install solar systems to harness the free power from the

sun. The south facing roof is desirable for solar power technology.

The Park District has a PPA (Purchase Power Agreement) with Trane/Ingersoll Rand for

the solar power production. This means the Park District does not own the solar panels

or the electricity provided by the solar panels. Instead of paying upfront costs for the

solar panel, the Park District is leasing the space on the flat roof to Trane/Ingersoll Rand

and purchasing the solar power produced. The rate at which the District is purchasing

the solar power is far less than what would be charged by the current electric provider.

New Skate Park Completed

The new state-of-the-art Skate Park, located in the Sullivan Community Center/Family

Aquatic Center parking lot area, is now open.

A community meeting was held in November, 2019 at the Sullivan Community Center.

People in attendance viewed conceptual designs of a new skate park and spoke with

the skate park developer offering their insights on a new design.

Beaver Creek Restoration

In 2020, the Vernon Hills Park District started the

process of developing and restoring Beaver Creek

Park. The park was inundated with invasive species

and pioneer trees that were taking over the entire

property, as well as creating dams in the creek. We

cleared the entire park, properly graded the entire

site, and planted 27 new trees. In addition, we are

working with a land steward company to restore the creek bank for water quality

purposes. The park will have a renewed feeling after a full year of established growth.

Vernon Hills Park District Announced as Finalist for the 2020 National Gold Medal Awards in Parks and Recreation

The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), is pleased to announce Vernon Hills

Park District as a finalist for the 2020 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. Musco Lighting, LLC is proud to continue sponsoring the Gold

Medal Awards program as it has for more than 20 years.

Founded in 1965, the Gold Medal Awards program honors communities in the United States that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning,

resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. Applications are separated into six

classes, with five classes based on population and one class for armed forces. Vernon Hills Park District is a finalist in Class V category, population less than 30,000.

Agencies are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective energies of community members, staff members and elected officials. Vernon Hills

Park District joins three other finalists in their class that will compete for grand honors this year.

Park Board President David Doerhoefer states – “The Vernon Hills Park District is excited and honored to be an NRPA Gold Medal Finalist and we look forward to sharing our story

and successes with park and recreation agencies across the country”.

A panel of five park and recreation professionals will review and judge all application materials. Judges are chosen for their considerable

experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both the local and national levels.

This year’s finalists will compete for Grand Plaque Award honors this summer, and the six Grand Plaque recipients will be announced during

the 2020 NRPA Conference, which will be held virtually in October. The presentation of both the Finalist and Grand Plaque recipients is being

finalized and details will be forthcoming on the virtual conference website.

For more information on the Gold Medal Awards, visit www.nrpa.org/goldmedal or www.aapra.org.

emphasis in this league continues to be sportsmanship,

skill development, participation and fun, but competition

is embraced, teaching players how to win and lose with

grace. This league will use a full-size court and an official

Team Formation

All teams are formed by a coach’s draft. Players are

measured for height and evaluated at the mandatory

Skill Day. This information is provided to coaches to

select teams. No coach or teammate requests will

be considered. The only way to guarantee that two

kids are placed on the same team is if their parents

sign up to coach together. Those that do not attend

skill day will not be eligible for the draft and will be

randomly assigned to a team.

Practice

Teams practice 1-2 hours per week at various schools.

Practice times can be as early as 6 pm and go as

late as 9 pm (8:30 pm for 3rd & 4th grade teams).

Schedules are dictated by coaches; therefore, specific

practice schedule requests cannot be honored. (If

there is one specific day of the week that your child is

not available to practice, please note on registration).

All players will receive a team jersey and

Association of Central Lake County. SRACLC provides community based therapeutic

recreation programs to people of all ages with disabilities or special needs.

SRACLC is a cooperative effort of the Grayslake, Vernon Hills, and Mundelein

behavior management support, disability awareness training, and other adaptive

services necessary for safe and successful participation.

Vernon Hills household is required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for

resident rates. Families living within Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible

admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents must wait until

necessary in order to ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall

financing of the park system on an equitable basis with residents.

participant (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use

and distribution by the Park District of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward)

in photographs, video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such

programs, events and activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and

without compensation, rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the

future.

Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its

informational materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing

Specialist, at cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.

maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help.

participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt

resolution will be sought and the District Behavior Management Policy (2.39) will be

used as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose

actions endanger the safety of himself or others.
