Often people will say to us: What does the park district do in the winter? Well, my response generally is that “it begins our busiest time of the year!” Yes, there is a lull between Thanksgiving and the New Year, but afterwards it’s an increasing climb and fast pace. Some of the highlights of this winter include: Board Meetings Your personal participation is an integral part of this decision-making process.

They are acting as Park Patrol Officers for the Waukegan Park District. The District contracts with the Waukegan Police Department for off duty officers to serve as Park Patrol under the direction of Sgt. Joe Kreppein. They provide daily coverage of all park sites during the summer months. Park Patrol works to maintain safe parks for all residents and visitors through professional policing, ensuring compliance of the District’s rules and regulations. They monitor Park Use Permits, assist the public with questions and concerns, and provide support for special events, like Halloweenfest and the American Independence Parade and Festival. These officers serve as a link between the Parks Department and our park guests, through effective communication and diligent responsiveness. The Parks Department issues Hot Spot bulletins each week, outlining the weekend’s special events, rentals, and directing attention to park sites where community complaints have been received. They report vandalism to the Parks Department, prioritizing issues that require immediate attention, such as graffiti removal or property damage. Their efforts ensure that our citizens are safe to play, celebrate, and recreate in our parks! Park Patrol and the Waukegan Police Department are valued partners to the District. Sgt. Joe Kreppein with park patron Controlled Burns in Our Parks The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency approved and issued a permit to the Waukegan Park District to conduct controlled burns in certain designated natural areas. Controlled burns are conducted between the months of November and April, weather permitting. Controlled burns are used to improve and maintain native plant communities and wildlife habitats. Burning in Roosevelt Park Periodic fires were once common on the Illinois prairie. Few native plant habitats remain since these fires were eliminated many years ago. The trend now is to reintroduce fire back into the woodland and prairie ecosystem to control growth of invasive species such as buckthorn and garlic mustard while making conditions favorable for native plants to regenerate and thrive. Controlled burns are a part of our ongoing maintenance program. The fire will pose no threat to life or property, nor woodland and wildlife because of the slow burning characteristics of the fire and monitoring by trained staff and experienced burn contractors. Notification of the exact time and date shall be made to the local police and fire department as soon as these are set. If you have any questions or would like more information concerning the controlled burn program, feel free to call the Parks Department at 847-360-4725. A controlled burn in Henry Pfau Callahan Park S P R I N G 2 0 1 6 • w a u k e g a n p a r k s . o r g Baseball in Waukegan The first organized recreation in Waukegan was baseball. The forming of the “Base Ball Club” in April 1859 was a big deal in Waukegan. Around the country, the new sport was being played in large cities so it was fitting that the newly incorporated (February 23, 1859) city of Waukegan followed. The first members of the club paid a fee of 50 cents (around $15 today) to join. The first baseball game in Waukegan was played on a Saturday afternoon on flat land below the bluff on the lakefront. Teams were comprised from members of the club and many of the players were some of the city’s most prominent men. Many citizens gathered to witness the first game. All who participated enjoyed the game but many admitted that they did not yet know the rules of baseball. Over time, baseball continued to be played and its popularity grew in Waukegan. Vacant lots were turned into neighborhood ball fields and the game was even played during the winter months in large buildings downtown. Many teams were created and the local clubs even played exhibition games against the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs. Over the last 150 years, numerous individuals have played important roles in promoting local baseball. Some notables include Thomas McCann, Dr. Eugene P. King, and the volunteers of the Waukegan Baseball Association. McCann brought together the best players in Waukegan in the early 1900s. These players had come from different countries to work in the Waukegan factories and many did not share the same language and there were often times of tension. Despite this, McCann was able to bring these players together on the ballfield. In the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Eugene P. King helped to ensure that African American youth in Waukegan had opportunities to play sports including baseball. Dr. Eugene King’s motto was “to make men and women out of boys and girls through clean, wholesome athletics.” Volunteers with the Waukegan Baseball Association installed lights at Grosche Field in Bowen Park in 1966. Their hard work ensured that the dream of a lighted ball diamond in Waukegan would become a reality. Baseball, truly a favorite pastime in Waukegan continues to this day with games found on ball diamonds and fields throughout our numerous parks.

As part of his responsibilities, Tim oversees the development and implementation of the Waukegan Park District’s 2015-2020 Parks and Open Space Master Plan. The Master Plan is a guide for commissioners and staff to envision and design the District’s future infrastructure. The plan has been developed to be responsive to the community and consistent with the Mission, Vision, and Values of the Park District. When a park is identified for renovation or redevelopment, Tim works with internal and external teams to identify potential uses for the park. These include landscaping, playgrounds, and site amenities such as, shelters, grills, restrooms, water fountains, sports courts, and parking. He coordinates with consultants, neighbors, and partners to ensure the needs of the public are met. Tim also identifies potential land acquisitions to create new parks or expand existing parks. Recently, Tim coordinated the Park District’s purchase of a 7.5 acre parcel of land on Yorkhouse and Cashmore Roads. The property is located in the Park and Open Space Master Plan’s Northwest Planning Area which had an identified need for Community Park acreage. In addition, Tim coordinates grant applications for park development and restoration. SAVE THE DATE Arbor Day Tree Planting Ceremony Friday, April 29, 2016 Time and location to be determined Tim began working at the Waukegan Park District in August 2013. After graduating from the University of Illinois with a degree in Park Management, he worked for the Park District of Highland Park managing all of its natural areas for 14 years. He moved to Conserve Lake County where he managed natural areas and developed their Land Preservation Program. He worked there for 12 years and enjoyed developing partnerships to conserve open lands and reaching out to landowners who want their lands to remain open and natural. Tim is a 2015 graduate of NRPA’s Green School and just earned his Park and Recreation Professional Certification. Call 847-360-4725 for more information OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU Tim says the most interesting, challenging and rewarding aspects of his job are to redevelop parks in neighborhoods that are in the most need. An example is the King Park Conceptual Redevelopment plan, which included input from nine community organizations, to create a park with community gardening as a theme. Tim’s passion, creating vibrant parks and conserving open space for the public to enjoy, is his daily work. He says, “It can’t get any better than that!” MISSION STATEMENT The Waukegan Park District is committed to providing parks, facilities and leisure opportunities to our culturally diverse population through leadership with community involvement, dedicated staff and sound management.

S P R I N G 2 0 1 6 • w a u k e g a n p a r k s . o r g The Importance of Oak Trees in Waukegan “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn”- Ralph Waldo Emerson Oak trees have captured the hearts and imagination of human beings for centuries. These trees represent strength and stature, clean the air and water, and reduce air temperature, flooding, and energy usage. Oak trees in parks provide enjoyment and opportunities for recreation and education for all ages. In Illinois, oak trees are a keystone species. They create the framework for a stable ecosystem that has provided food, shelter, and energy for many species, both human and animal, for thousands of years. Waukegan itself has historically supported high quality and diverse oak woodland habitat. If you visit Bowen Park today, you can get a glimpse of what Little Fort looked like to early settlers. In 2015, Governor Rauner declared October “Oak Awareness Month”, citing the importance of restoring and protecting this species. As outlined in the Chicago Wilderness Oak Ecosystems recovery plan, we have lost more than 80% of the original one million acres of oak ecosystems that occupied our region. Not only are there fewer forests, but when scientists visited our remaining forests, they observed old oaks that are doing well and many seedlings, but few saplings or juvenile oaks present in our modern woodlands. Most new oaks do not live to maturity. A number of organizations, including the Waukegan Park District, Chicago Wilderness, Lake County Forest Preserve District, Morton Arboretum, and Chicago Botanic Garden are working to ensure we will have giant 300 year old oaks for centuries to come. If you visit the Bowen Park forest and ravine, you will see daylighting, invasive management, and re-vegetation work in practice. This project, funded under a USEPA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grant, was coordinated by the Waukegan Park District and the Waukegan Harbor Citizens’ Advisory Group. Other partners working to restore the site, now recognized as one the highest quality habitats of its kind in Illinois, include the Chicago Botanic Garden, Lake County Forest Preserve District, Chicago Wilderness, and Illinois Audubon Society. Non-native and invasive trees have been cut down to return necessary light to the ground, critical to the successful growth of saplings, as well as native flowers and shrubs. Invasive plant species that crowd out and impair the growth of natives have been managed with great success. Maintaining the health of our oak woodlands will ensure threatened and endangered migratory birds, butterflies, amphibians and other forms of forest life found in Waukegan remain healthy and abundant. We are ensuring the existence of these iconic and important habitats for future generations. The Waukegan Park District will be planting 100 trees during its Centennial and many of those will be native oak trees. Seedlings will be distributed again this year at the District’s Arbor Day Celebration on Friday, April 29, 2016. Celebrate Arbor Day and help the environment by planting a tree in your yard.

The instructors make class fun which made it easier for them to learn. –Deanna Williams Sharks & Minnows #20402101 Parents with Infant or Toddler Age 6 months-3 years This class helps you and your child relax and enjoy the water through the use of games, songs and activities. Both the parent and child will learn water safety techniques to become comfortable in the water. SwimSmart SwimSmart is different than traditional swim lessons. The number one goal of SwimSmart is to increase participant safety and comfort in water and the secondary goal is to teach swimming strokes and techniques. From parent/tot through adult lessons, participants learn ways to be safe in various bodies of water. They first learn how to be safe and save themselves before they perfect swimming strokes and techniques. SwimSmart students progress through classes based on demonstrable skills. Parents will receive a written progress report at the conclusion of each class. Participants receive completion magnets to display their progress! Indoor Swimming Lessons Swim lessons will be offered Saturday mornings at the Ann M. Kiley Developmental Center on 1401 West Dugdale Road in Waukegan. The SwimSmart program will emphasize water safety and enhance swimming abilities. For Your Benefit • Register Online or at the Belvidere Recreation Center, Jack Benny Center, and The Field House Sports and Fitness Center. It’s convenient and easy! • Our Instructors are well trained and friendly. • Low student/instructor ratios mean more individualized instruction. • A Swim Lesson Coordinator monitors lessons to ensure quality programming and address questions and concerns. • Skill level and age are considered for proper placement of swimmers. Make-Ups In the event of pool closing or cancellation, the make-up session will take place one week after the last scheduled date of class.

Frequently Asked Questions How many kids are in each class? Parent with Infant/Toddler: up to ten children; Preschool: up to 5 children; Level 1 & 2: up to 8 children. Do I have to stay during my child’s lesson? Since lessons are up to 45 minutes long, we ask that you stay for the duration of class. Can my children that are not participating in lessons swim? No. During lesson time there is no open swim. Only those registered for SwimSmart may enter the pool. Are there locker rooms? Yes. Is the pool heated? Yes. How do I know if my lesson has been cancelled? You will get a call from the Waukegan Park District if lessons are cancelled. What should we bring to lessons? Participants should bring a lined swimsuit, towel and goggles. Children who are not potty trained must wear swim diapers under their swimsuit. Cloth and disposable diapers are prohibited. Disposable diapers become heavy and fall apart in the water. If my child misses a class, when are the make up lessons? We only have make up lessons when the Park District cancels a class. Who can I talk to about my child’s progress? You are welcome to talk to the Swim Coordinator or Supervisor about your child’s progress. Helping you to prepare for a lifetime of safe water fun!

Camp registration began February 9. If you plan to attend one session or all sessions of camp, we are happy to receive payments in segments, so long as full payment is received for each session by the required deadline. To assist parents with their schedules, we have a Multiple Fee Payment Method as an option. This option takes the stress out of mailing in payments and avoids the possibility of incurring late fees if you can’t make it in on time or forget to make a payment. Canceling this option requires written notification. Please inquire about this option and its guidelines at the Belvidere Recreation Center at initial registration time.

Puppy is an exciting new program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program is an incentive program for loving dog owners who have taken the time to take their puppies through a basic training class. How It Works: When you complete our basic training class (taught by an AKC Approved CGC Evaluator) with your puppy (up to six months old) your puppy is eligible to be enrolled in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. You'll attend any puppy or basic training class at least six weeks. Your instructor will administer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test during and at the end of the course. We want you and your puppy to continue learning beyond puppy classes AKC’s Canine Good Citizen® This is the next step to take after you and your dog complete the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. The AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that emphasizes responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the ten-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. This test is administered on-site after completion of the Advanced Dog Obedience program. There is a $10 fee for AKC or Canine Good Citizen registration. . Rally combines characteristics of agility and traditional obedience for dogs and owners into a new fun and challenging sport. Rally Obedience is timed and includes 1-34 performance stations depending on the level of participation. It is critiqued by the instructor who watches for a smooth performance as well as skill in following the directions at each station. A sign at each station gives instructions to the doghandler team, and each team must execute the station’s particular task within twoto-four feet of the sign. Rally is an opportunity for veteran dogs to remain active and a chance for shy or antisocial dogs to get experience. Many dogs enjoy this change from the usual silent heeling of traditional obedience classes as their handlers can clap hands, talk, or whistle to them throughout the entire course in a dance like flow. This class is not AKC certified. Participating dogs must have already completed an Advanced Dog Obedience training class. Now your dog has more options for fun and a purpose to utilize that sniffer of his. Our instructor Karin will teach you and your K9 how to have fun exercising his natural scenting abilities by hunting either food or toys. The class is great for all types and sizes of dogs, and great for a dog that is bored and wants to play. Novice #21003301 This is the beginner level of Rally Obedience. All exercises are performed with the dog on leash and demonstrate the dog's understanding of basic commands such as sit, stay, down, and come and heel position. BRC TU 3/22-5/10 6-7pm Reg. By 3/18 $69/$79 Intermediate #21003302 This is the second level, which includes more difficult exercise throughout the course. All exercises are performed with the dog off leash.

Every attempt at reasonable accommodation will be made so that individuals may participate in desired programs. If you have any questions on accessibility, please contact Mike Trigg, Superintendent of Parks, our ADA Coordinator, at 847-360-4725. Waukegan Park District is committed to meeting your unique, individual leisure needs. Please call us if we can assist you at any time at 847-360-4760. Please attach a description of any accommodations needed to your registration form. This procedure will help ensure your enjoyment of our program. Special Accommodations It is the responsibility of the parent or participant to notify the District of any medical, physical and/or mental conditions that may require special consideration by the District staff. This is for everyone’s protection, and your confidentiality will be respected. Resident and Non-Resident Fees Residents support Waukegan Park District programs, facilities and services through property taxes. Therefore, residents pay reduced fees and non-residents generally pay greater fees. Waukegan Park District boundaries encompass areas outside of the City of Waukegan boundaries. People living within the Park District boundaries pay taxes to the District and are therefore considered Waukegan Park District residents. The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your residence property tax bill, which lists the park district you pay taxes to or call the Park District at 847-360-4700. Participant Behavior Guidelines Please be advised that fighting, rough play, threatening bodily harm, disorderly conduct, profanity and disrespect of staff or others are prohibited. Violations may lead to immediate removal from facility. The Waukegan Park District reserves the right to revoke membership and/or daily privileges for failure to abide by the rules and regulations without refund. Be A Good Neighbor Photo Policy Please respect the rights and property of the neighbors living by the parks! A few reminders: • Use the sidewalks and pathways when walking to parks. Cutting through private yards is not appropriate. • Trees, bushes, fences, etc. should not be used as bathrooms. We suggest family members use their own bathrooms before visiting parks. • Trash should be discarded into trash cans in the park. When not put into cans, it often blows into neighbors’ yards. • By following these guidelines, your visit can be more enjoyable for everyone. Please report any vandalism by calling 847-360-4725. • Our parks are tobacco free. Photographs and videos are periodically taken of people participating in Park District programs and activities. All persons registered for Park District programs/ activities or using Park District property thereby agree that any photograph or video taken by the Park District may be used by the Park District for the promotional purposes including, but not limited to, posting the photograph/video on the Park District’s website, and/or its promotional videos, brochures, fliers, and other publications without additional, prior notice or permission and without compensation to the participant. Leave Footprints – Not Trash We ask people who visit our parks to“leave footprints behind, not trash.”Brown trash barrels are placed throughout our parks; help us put litter in its place. Please recycle when available. Citizen Advisory Committees Through citizen involvement, the park district has formed several advisory committees. If you would like to become an active member of a committee, contact the staff at the phone numbers listed below: American Independence Festivities Committee Jay Lerner, 847-782-3622 Cultural Arts Advisory Committee Claudia Freeman, 847-360-4740 Golf Advisory Committee Jim Glogovsky, 847-360-4756 Recreation Program Advisory Committee Jay Lerner, 847-782-3622 Special Recreation Program Advisory Committee Julie Schneider, 847-360-4762 Pets Pet owners, please remember that the Park District enforces the “Pooper Scooper” law. Walk your pet on a leash and clean up after it. No animals are allowed in playgrounds or fenced areas of any park except for the dog exercise area at Larsen Nature Preserve. Park Security Program When visiting a park you may notice a police officer patrolling the area. The Waukegan Park District and the City of Waukegan have a cooperative program to increase security in our park system and facilities. Off-duty police are hired to patrol parks and routinely walk through the parks, visit programs and assist park users. Also, throughout the day and night regular police officers make patrols during their normal shift. If you witness a crime or vandalism occurring in a park or golf course, please report it immediately to the Waukegan Police Department, 847-360-9000, or the Waukegan Park District, 847-360-4725. If the incident constitutes an emergency, please dial 911. Vandalism Each year, the Waukegan Park District suffers thousands of dollars worth of damage from vandalism, and these costs are absorbed by the taxpayers. If you witness vandalism, please notify the police at 847-599-2608, or call the Parks Department at 847-360-4725 with any information that could lead to the apprehension of the vandals.
