New Pool at the Field House
We are excited to announce that an indoor pool will be
added to the Hinkston Field House!
Please take a moment to look at the conceptual plan on
page 6. That is the starting point for our design process.
Board Meetings
Your personal participation is an integral part of this
decision-making process. The Park Board meets the
second Tuesday of each month at the Corrine J. Rose
Administrative Center, 2000 Belvidere Street. You are
always welcome to attend.

The next major step in the process is creating a final
schematic design. Essentially, that is the design scheme
of what we will actually build. We had more than 100 people attend our first
public meeting to discuss the project and offer suggestions.
We would love to hear what your thoughts and ideas are about the project.
What would you like to see included in the facility? NOW is the time to
offer your comments and recommendations. Please contact Jay Lerner to
let us know what you are thinking. He can be reached at 847-782-3622 or
jlerner@waukeganparks.org.
When the design is finalized, we will present it at another public meeting;
the date will be announced later. We hope to hear from you soon!

PARK HAPPENINGS
Governor Announces PARC Grant for Pool at Field House Sports and Fitness Center
On November 1, then Governor Pat Quinn visited Waukegan to announce that
the Waukegan Park District would receive an Illinois Department of Natural
Resources’ Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant of $2.5 million
to construct an indoor swimming pool at the Field House Sports and FitnessCenter.
Completion of the pool is projected for August of 2016; the total projected cost is
$7.5 million.
Phases currently underway are the design and preparation of construction
documents followed by bidding and permitting through August of 2015.
Construction will begin in September 2015 and finish in August 2016.
Why the Waukegan Park District is Building an Indoor Pool:
• The need for a pool was identified in the 1997 Referendum by the Committee
to Save Our Parks. An indoor pool at the Field House has widespread public
support as demonstrated in a community survey, public meetings and focus
groups. Waukegan currently has no public indoor pool and the existing outdoor
Ganster pool is 50 years old and has been rehabilitated twice.
• The indoor pool will address the public health and safety need of the
community by providing greater access to the SwimSmart program for Waukegan’s
children. There is a high need for water safety and swimming lessons especially
being located on the shores of Lake Michigan.
• Adding new swimming and water recreational activities increases the
recreational diversity offered by the District for Waukegan residents. With the
addition of an indoor pool, year-round aquatic programs of all types can be
delivered and for all age groups including swimming lessons, fitness programs,
competitive swim teams and warm water therapeutic services.
• The indoor pool will be located in the exact center of the Waukegan Park
District, along transportation routes that provide access from the downtown
transportation hub.
• Vista Health Systems will use the pool for its cardiac and stroke rehab
programs,which decreases operating costs , leveraging dollars and community
resources.
• The project will enhance an existing economic driver, the Hinkston Field House
Sports and Fitness Center and is expected to generate even more economic activity.
• The project is fully funded as a cash deal, no referendum or bonds need to be
issued. Through the long range capital plan, Waukegan Park District has aside
$5 million for the construction of a pool. The $2.5 million PARC Grant completes
the pool’s funding.
• The Waukegan Park District provides universal access for everyone. No one is
turned down for an inability to pay. The addition of an indoor pool will provide
additional benefits and programs not only for the 2,800 fitness members but to
88,890 residents as well.
The initial concept plan, subject to change.

Did you know we had thirteen species of
frogs and toads in Waukegan?
Citizen Science: Frogs
Frog breeding seasons are related to rain and temperature. Spring rains bring
frogs and toads out of their winter homes in trees, fields and grasslands into
wetlands, streams and ponds; they all return to the water to mate. Male frogs use
their calls to attract mates and calling is most active during the evening and night.
Wood Frogs are first to appear usually in March and their calls last for only a few
days. Next are the Chorus Frogs; they call and mate over a couple of months. In
early April, you are likely to hear Spring Peepers. By mid -April, American Toads,
and Fowler Toads begin calling. Leopard Frogs and Gray Tree Frogs can usually be
heard on the first warm night in May. Green Frogs call in late May to early June
followed by Cricket Frogs and mid-June, the Bull Frog joins in the spring chorus.
Many Waukegan Parks with their winding creeks, ponds and wetlands support
frog and toad populations. Roosevelt, Bevier, Washington, Bowen, Roosevelt,
Powell and Bradbury Parks as well as the Larsen Preserve are all great places to
listen to frogs and toads call during the spring and early summer.

Bowen Park Renovations: Picnic Center
Expansion & Ravine Enhancement Project
Chicago Wilderness is developing a regional profile of frog and toad species–their
geographic distributions and relative abundances. This profile is possible only
because of a network of dedicated frog monitors. We need your help! The Chicago
Wilderness Habitat Project Calling Frog Survey provides important information to
scientists and land managers that can benefit amphibian populations. Citizens
learn the unique calls of the 13 species of frogs and toads. They attend one educational meeting and listen for frogs on three separate evenings in the spring, each
lasting for about one to two hours. They forward the data to Chicago Wilderness.
For more information about frogs and the Calling Frog Survey go to
http://www.habitatproject.org/frogsurvey/chicagoland.html
The Janet and Robert Morrison Picnic Center, Jack Hofflander Wildflower Refuge,
Sandee Memorial Shade Garden and “Bowen frog pond” will receive a facelift over
the next couple of years.
• Improvements to the frog pond will include enhanced naturalization and
expansion. Areas will be seeded and plugged with native plants beginning in April
of 2015.
• The shelter area will be expanded and permeable pavers installed as well as
adding interpretive signage. The Jack Hofflander Wildflower Refuge trail and
boardwalk will be improved to create better pedestrian circulation throughout the
garden areas.
• Additional improvements will include a parking lot rain garden and enhancements
to the Jack Hofflander Wildflower Refuge and Sandee Memorial Shade Garden.

PARK HAPPENINGS
National Bike Challenge –
May through September
This is a nationwide event uniting thousands of current bicyclist–and encouraging countless new riders. It is a free and easy way to challenge yourself, your colleagues and your community to ride more while competing
on a local, state and national level.
Waukegan Park District Centennial
Is Around the Corner
The Waukegan Park District will be 100 years old on December 26, 2016
and we will be celebrating all year long through December 2017. Watch for
this logo which will alert you to activities and information related to the
Centennial. You can help us celebrate by contributing your stories, memories
and photos of Waukegan parks and programs. Please mail them to Jennifer
Dumas, Belvidere Recreation Center, 412 South Lewis Avenue, Waukegan,
IL 60085 or email her at jdumas@waukeganparks.org. Please contact her
at 847-360-4705 for further information.
In addition to improving your health, saving money and helping the environment, the Challenge is a fun way for participants to meet other riders in
the online community, track improvement and win prizes.
For businesses, the Challenge provides a fun and free health and wellness
program for employees. In 2014 participants in the challenge saved
21,758,784 pounds of CO2 and made 48 round trips to the moon. Join the
challenge for an excuse to get out and ride. For details on how to join and
what it is go to https://nationalbikechallenge.org/.
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 (weather permitting) between the months of
November and April. 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.

Historically Speaking: Swimming
Braving the cold weather and often icy water they immerse portions of their
bodies in the name of charity.
By Ed Link
Given our proximity to Lake Michigan it is no surprise that water sports are very
popular locally. A large part of that enjoyment is swimming.
From Waukegan's earliest days Lake Michigan was used by its citizens as a cooling
off place. Before the days of air conditioning, summer's heat was offset by a dip
in the cool lake water. Many early pictures show large crowds in the water and
on the beach probably enjoying lake breezes. The Waukegan Woman's Club
established a bathhouse and refreshment stand around 1914. One could rent
baskets, towels and suits there. A 50 foot diving tower was erected on the pier in
the early 1920s. The beach house opened in 1940 and the building used bricks
from the lighthouse that was razed two years previously.
Problems arose in later years as industrial pollution impacted the water. Around
1970, the Lake County Health Department recommended the beaches be closed.
The City of Waukegan disagreed.
In more recent times a different use of the lake was found. On each New Year's
Day since 2000 many hearty individuals have taken part in the Polar Bear Plunge.

Indoor swimming is also a major pastime. The high school boys held their first
swim meet December 1, 1927. The girls organized into teams by school class at
the beginning of that school year.
The YMCA also was a popular destination for swimmers. It is unclear if the first
building on Genesee and Clayton streets (the site of today's Genesee Theatre)
contained a pool or not. The next building at County and Clayton, opened in 1925,
certainly did, as well as its successor on Western Avenue which opened in 1987. The
latter building closed December 31, 2012, leaving the city without an indoor pool.
The Waukegan Park District opened a pool at Belvidere Park in 1956. A new one
was built in 1980. The pool at Bowen Park opened May 25, 1980 and closed in
Spring, 2002. It was replaced by the popular skate park the following year.
With the recent announcement of the building of an indoor pool at the Field House
Sports and Fitness Center at Hinkston Park, Waukegan residents will again have
the option of swimming inside when outdoor pools and Lake Michigan are not
too appealing.

smaller, so kids can cover them and have more success when they play. Kids have
more fun—and want to play more often. Tennis is a sport that gets kids moving,
improves balance, agility and hand-eye coordination, and can teach self-confidence and self-assurance. Playing tennis, your child can make new friends in a
safe, supportive environment. By getting your kids into the game you’ll be opening a door to a lifetime of enjoyment! To learn more about 10 and Under Tennis
you may go to the following USTA website. www.10andundertennis.com.

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.
My kids loved their classes.
The instructors make class fun which
made it easier for them to learn.

Recommendation–Secure Your Spot Today!
Parents, we strongly recommend that you secure your camp spots for the summer
early. Camp registration begins 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.
PLEASE NOTE:
Field trips and themes are subject to change based on availability.

Are your kids fussy eaters? Nearly all kids love junk food, and although they
will eat some things that are healthy, it’s not nearly with the same enjoyment
they display when devouring a chocolate chip cookie. During class kids will
make fruit kabobs and learn through hands on activity about healthy food vs.
junk food. Each child will take home an apron and cutting board and mom or
dad will be given tips to help continue making healthy meals at home.

AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy® Program
OBEDIENCE TRAINING
We are here to help you teach your dog to become a well-behaved family pet, one
that is a joy to own and a pleasure to take anywhere! All teaching and training
methods from instructor Karin Nikopoulos are based on reward, motivation, and
positive reinforcement, as well as dog and handler training needs. By using these
effective methods, training becomes fun for both dog and owner! There are also
plenty of opportunities for your dog to practice staying calm while socializing with
other people and dogs. The first night of class, please bring your dog’s vaccination/health records. Owners of aggressive dogs must be in control of their pets at
all times to remain in class. One owner per dog is required. Only registered dogs
and owners may attend class. Dog and owner should attend all classes. Please do
not use retractable leashes.
Puppy
It's always best to teach good habits before bad ones are learned. Let your puppy
have fun socializing and learn good from bad. Puppies eight weeks to four months
old can learn walking to heel, sit, stay, and down commands.

The AKC S.T.A.R. 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. .
All K9 Programs are instructed by a certified AKC Approved S.T.A.R. Puppy and
Canine Good Citizen® Evaluator.
Fitness with Fido
Sign up for this four-session, one-hour exercise period where your dog is your best
workout partner, and motivator. We combine cardio, strength, balance, and
stretching, and some agility props, while incorporating basic commands into one
hour of non-stop fun for you and your dog. There is no better outlet for your dog's
energy. Dogs should be at least six months old, able to walk on a leash and know
basic commands; (sit, down, stay, and come). Please bring proof of your current
vaccinations and health records. Bring a yoga mat or towel, a water bottle, leash
(no retractable leashes please), and athletic shoes must be worn. One dog per

RALLY OBEDIENCE
DOG AGILITY
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 dog-handler team, and each team must execute the station’s particular task
within two-to-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.
In this class the handler directs the leashed dog through an obstacle course set by
instructor Karin Nikopoulos. Owners may cheer, clap, and call the dogs through
each obstacle as it best serves them. There are jumps of various makes, climbing
obstacles, weave poles, tunnels, and a pause table. This class is always entertaining whether the dog does as you ask or not. It’s fun for everyone! Please bring
your dog’s vaccination/health records to the first class. Owners of aggressive dogs
must be in control of their pets at all times to remain in class. Dog and owner need
to have completed an Advanced Obedience Training class prior to registering.
Novice
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

Waukegan Park District’s parks and facilities are ideal
sites for groups and individuals. You will enjoy the
natural beauty of the parks, and appreciate the
convenience of facilities provided in various areas.
See the application form for the various locations
and features of each park.
Why Park Use Permits
Are Required
Our mission is to provide facilities, parks and open
spaces that are attractive and safe for the people of
our community. The Park Use Permit allows us to
avoid overcrowding and accommodate groups for a
pleasant, enjoyable park experience. It also allows
you to reserve a specific pavilion.
Requirements
There are two different types of Park Permits
available:
• A permit for a specific pavilion (Bevier, Bowen
or Hinkston Parks). These permits reserve the
pavilion for your group and include picnic tables
and grills. Reservations are also available for the
Bowen Park Formal Garden and the Washington
Park Bandshell. These two sites do not have picnic
tables or grills.
• A “Green Space” Permit. ($25 fee) This permit is
issued for groups of 25 or more who wish to gather
in the park, but do not wish to rent a pavilion. The
Green Space Permit allows us to schedule larger
groups using the parks to prevent overcrowding,
and also assists the Park Patrol officers in enforcing
regulations. This permit does not reserve any
particular space in a park, nor does it guarantee
the use of picnic tables or grills, which are on a
“first-come, first-served” basis.
• The permit holder must declare on the permit
application all activities which will take place and
all equipment/supplies which will be used on the
park premises.
• All Park Use Permits are subject to approval by the
Superintendent of Parks.
• Some activities will require a certificate of insurance
naming the Waukegan Park District as an “additional
insured.”
• Permits may not be
considered or approved if submitted
on short notice.
Sports Facilities
If you wish to reserve a baseball field, softball field,
soccer field or basketball court, please inquire about
field availability and usage charges at 847-782-3622.
Application for Pavilion Rentals
& Green Space Permits
A Park Use Permit Application must be filled out for
Pavilion Rentals and Green Space Permits. Applications
shall be made in person at the Belvidere Recreation
Center, 412 South Lewis Avenue, Waukegan, IL
60085 during regular business hours (Monday
thru Friday, 9am to 5pm). Proof of residency and
identification is required.
Park Use Permit applications may be submitted
beginning March 2 for the upcoming season.
Applications are processed on a "first-come,
first-served" basis.

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.
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
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.
