slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay,
unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs do
exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the
district to guarantee absolute safety.

We look forward to working with you!
Park Rental
The Wheaton Park District offers a wide variety of park rentals that are

park at all times during the specified time period. Photo Permits are

contact the Park Service Center at 630.653.5429 or e-mail parkrentals@
wheatonparks.org at least one week prior to your event. For information

general information
Gift Cards
You may “purchase” any of more than 100 recreation programs, or buy a gift
card for any amount of $5 or more. Gift cards may be purchased at Wheaton
Park District Administration Office, at the Community Center, Cosley Zoo,
and at Arrowhead Golf Club. Refunds and exchanges are not given on

Scout Badge Programs
The Wheaton Park District offers programs for most levels of Girl Scouts and
Cub Scouts. Many of our programs correlate to certain badge requirements
set forth by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. and Boy Scouts of America. Offered
at Lincoln Marsh, Cosley Zoo, Parks Plus Fitness Center, Toohey Park Safety
City, Northside Park, and Rice Pool and Water Park, these fee-based programs
help scouts learn about nature, zoo life and fitness through hands-on, educational activities. If you would like more information on scout badge programs,
please call the facility from which you are interested in receiving information.
Pesticides Reduction: To Play or Not to Play
The Wheaton Park District works hard to provide the highest quality turf
areas for its soccer, football and baseball programs. Traditionally, substantial
amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been used to promote
healthy turf. The park district has reduced its use of pesticides for the benefit
of the public and the environment. Turf takes a beating when it’s used–this
is normal and accepted. However, when fields are used during or right after
periods of rain, serious damage usually occurs. Plants are uprooted, holes
and divits are formed, the soil becomes compacted, and large areas of mud
are left behind. The turf will not recover by itself. Labor and chemicals are
needed to restore the field, or the field may need to be closed for up to
one year before it is usable. The park district asks coaches and parents to
please reschedule or cancel games and practices if the turf is too wet. If
you have questions, please contact the Parks and Planning Department at
630.871.2857.
Athletic Field Use Guidelines
We are all committed to provide high quality, safe playing surfaces for our
multi-use athletic facilities, but we need the help and consideration of all
user groups in protecting the turf from excessive damage due to game and
practice activities. The turf grass is the safety surface for the athletic fields. If
any of the following conditions occur, scheduled games and practices must
be canceled or postponed.
1. Standing water on the field of play.
2. Soil saturation:
• Walking on turf causes water to surface
• Walking on turf on heels causes indentations
• One inch or more of rain 48 hours prior to scheduled game or practice
accompanied by steady rain on game or practice day.
• Steady downpour of rain on game or practice day which could cause damage to turf or injury to participants.
3. Extreme drought conditions where 50% of the playing surface has turned
dormant.
4. Audible thunder or visible lightning.
5. Visibility (darkness)
All coaches, referees, and umpires are responsible for insuring the safety of
field playing conditions at all times during scheduled play. Safety implies
protection of the resource as well as the participants.

Canada Geese in our Parks, please visit us at
