Enjoy the fresh, crisp air this season and take in the views along the site’s lake-loop path. It’s a little less than a mile. If you follow the path over the footbridge to Wolf Road, back along the pedestrian walkway over Buffalo Creek to Lake Heritage, you will have walked almost two miles. Bring a friend or make it a family activity. April 23 brings the NEW Family 2K Hustle to Heritage Park. Registration is going on now and more information is included on the back cover. RICH ROSEN Think summer: Summer camp registration starts January 1. Check out the special camp pull-out section in the center of the brochure.

TERRIFIC THREES MUST BE THREE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 START SMART PRE-K MUST BE FOUR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 The three-year-old program is designed for a child ready to flourish in a school setting. Our program stresses socialization, cooperative play, fine motor skills, sharing, and following directions. Choose from a two-day per week or a three-day per week class option. Terrific Threes is the middle step in our continuum of “learning though play.” In this positive, nurturing environment, children are introduced to colors, letters, and numbers, all of which help to encourage a love of learning and education. The four-year-old curriculum develops skills needed for entering kindergarten in area school districts. Our program is based on suggestions and input from School District #21 kindergarten teachers and stresses the development of independence and cognitive skills through learning centers, structured activities, socialization, cooperative and dramatic play, and sharing. In this final step before kindergarten, make sure your eager learner is as prepared as possible! 2016 – 2017 SCHOOL YEAR PRESCHOOL CLASSES START THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 CODE 19801 CLASS AGE ALMOST THREE, JUST LIKE ME 2 YEARS DAY START DATE TIME RESIDENT FEE MONDAY, FRIDAY 9/9 10:30 am – 12:00 pm $84/MONTH $97/MONTH 19802 TERRIFIC THREES 3 YEARS TUESDAY, THURSDAY 9/6 9:00 – 11:30 am $114/MONTH $136/MONTH 19803 TERRIFIC THREES 3 YEARS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY 9/6 12:30 – 2:30 pm $131/MONTH $157/MONTH 19804 START SMART PRE-K 4-DAY 4 YEARS MONDAY – THURSDAY 9/6 9:00 – 11:45 am $228/MONTH $273/MONTH 19805 TERRIFIC THREES / START SMART PRE-K 4-DAY 3–4 YEARS MONDAY – THURSDAY 9/6 12:30 – 3:00 pm $225/MONTH $269/MONTH 19806 START SMART PRE-K 3-DAY 4 YEARS MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY 9/7 9:00 am – 12:00 pm $182/MONTH $217/MONTH REGISTER TODAY AT THE CRC GUEST SERVICE DESK!

Show respect to all guests and staff. 2. Refrain from using foul or obscene language. 3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to others. 4. Show respect for equipment, supplies, and facility. 5.

THORGUARD LIGHTNING PREDICTION & WARNING SYSTEM By measuring the amount of electrical charge in the atmosphere, Thorguard 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. 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 available. Private locker rooms are available on a rental basis. For more information see the Fitness section of this Program Guide. 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 Arctic Splash, gymnasium, and Fitness Center. IMAGE RECORDING DEVICES The use of any image recording devices, including video recorders, cameras, and phone cameras, is strictly prohibited in all Wheeling Park District facility locker rooms, washrooms, and shower areas. Please report any violations immediately to facility management. 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, as well as the destruction of the waterfall feature at Husky Park. 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. REWARD PROGRAM Help the Wheeling Park District stop vandalism in your neighborhood park. Call us with information about the person or persons who vandalize any Wheeling Park District property. This would include the destruction of any property such as vehicles, playground equipment, or landscape materials, the theft of any equipment or materials, any act of arson, and any act of graffiti. If your information leads to arrest, case resolution and/or restitution, you will be given a reward from $500 to $5000. Your name will be kept confidential.
