JOLIET PARK DISTRICT Board of Commissioners Pictured left to right: Sue Gulas, Commissioner; Glen Marcum, President; Dominic Egizio, Chief Executive Officer; Timothy Broderick, Commissioner; Brett Gould, Commissioner; Art Schultz, Jr., Vice-President Commissioners are elected by Park District residents to serve staggered terms without compensation. They have the responsibility to develop policies which provide direction for the operation of the parks, facilities and recreation programs. The Board also hires the Executive Director, who in turn hires the staff which manages the various departments of the Park District. The Board of Commissioners meets on the fourth Monday of each month at the Presence Inwood Athletic Club, 3000 W. Jefferson St., at 5 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Board of Commissioners • 3 Director’s Message Welcome to the new look of the Joliet Park District Program Catalog! We’ve made a number of changes to make the catalog more user-friendly and easier to navigate. We’ve gone to full color, introduced icons to make facilities easier to identify, and changed the layout to make program searches easier. If you’re interested in online registration, just scan the bar code on the cover of the catalog and you will be redirected to our website. Summer is the most exciting time of year at the Joliet Park District. With three championship golf courses, Splash Station Waterpark, summer camps, over 70 community parks, the Sundowner 5k, and the Taste of Joliet, we have something for everyone. After the winter we just endured, I hope you will make plans to get outside and enjoy one of our great facilities. You deserve it! All this activity means a lot of hard work. Did you know the Joliet Park District employs over 1000 people throughout the year? At the height of the summer we have 800+ employees who make the programs and facilities run. I’d like to thank everyone who pitches in to make it happen. Sincerely, Dominic Egizio Chief Executive Officer 4 • Director’s Message General Information Inclusion The Joliet Park District supports the rights of people with special needs to participate in any program.

Did you know that not all City of Joliet residents are Joliet Park District residents? Based on formal action by the Joliet Park District Board of Commissioners, a Joliet Park District resident is described as a person whose legal domicile is within the boundaries of the District. Residency is the principal place of habitation of the individual occupying the home, apartment, condominium or estate. It shall be the principal yearly residence for the family residing at the location. The resident must be able to produce a valid driver’s license and a current property tax bill or utility bill verifying residency at that location. Individuals who own rental property that is occupied by others may not be considered Joliet Park District residents. However, individuals who reside in rental property within the Park District boundaries are considered Park District residents. Who Needs a Resident Discount Card? Resident Discount Cards are issued to Joliet Park District residents only and are mandatory for all residents six years and older who wish to take advantage of lower, resident rates for programs and services. If a parent is registering a child under the age of six for a program, the parent must have a valid Resident Discount Card. Where Do I Obtain a Resident Discount Card? Obtain your Resident Discount Card at the Presence Inwood Athletic Club, 3000 W. Jefferson St., the Multi-Purpose Center, 3000 W. Jefferson St., Hartman Recreation Center, 511 N. Collins St. or Splash Station Waterpark, 2780 U.S. Rte. 6. When obtaining/renewing your Resident Discount Card and/or the cards for your family members, bring your Resident Discount Card (if applicable), (1) form of picture I.D. (in addition to your RDC), and a current property tax or utility bill showing your name and address. Residency Information • 7 Park News Joliet Park District Helps Community Lose A Ton In early Januar y, the Joliet Park District issued a challenge to the community - can we come together over the next six weeks and lose a ton (2000 pounds) of weight? The response exceeded our expectations, and the answer was a resounding yes. The weight loss initiative kicked off Januar y 21 – 22, with 738 people weighing in. As part of the six week program, participants were eligible to attend free seminars on topics like nutrition and goal setting. They also received motivation and exercise tips via email. Additionally, the top five males and top five females were eligible to win a brand new VW Beetle, compliments of D’Arcy Volkswagen. “A major part of our mission statement is a commitment to healthy lifestyles,” said Joliet Park District Chief Executive Officer Dominic Egizio. “ This initiative not only helped the community lose weight, but many participants improved their overall health as well. We heard a number of success stories ranging from lower cholesterol to improved running times.” On March 3 – 4 staff conducted final weigh outs. 320 participants weighed out, with a total of 2312.4 pounds lost (an average of 7.2 pounds per person). The community lost more than a ton in six weeks, and staff is already planning another challenge for 2015. Congratulations to the top 10 men and women.

The Joliet Park District offers you many ways to advertise and market your business while you are giving back to the Joliet community. We work with local and national companies to create unique partnerships that benefit both the business and the community. From signage on the scoreboard in the 10,000 seat ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium, to tee signs at our three golf courses to dasher boards in the Inwood Ice Arena to event partnerships, we’ve got it all! We host three running events each year – the Rockdale Ramblin’ Run 10k, the Sundowner 5k and the Red Eye 8k. If you are a health or fitness oriented business, this is a perfect match for you! Our races give you the chance to directly market and advertise to your target audience. Our runners pay to run, they have disposable income, and our sponsors tell us that the people who run our races patronize their businesses. The Taste of Joliet is a three day music and food festival that welcomed over 55,000 attendees last year. We offer a multitude of partnership opportunities that allow you to advertise your business, meet face-to-face with potential customers or entertain your guests in a VIP tent that offers direct access to the Reserved Section directly in front of the stage. Taste of Joliet sponsors are featured on signage throughout the venue, on our marketing materials and on the t-shirts worn by all of our festival volunteers. It’s a great way to reach a large amount of people in a short amount of time! Our youth programs and camps offer sponsors a unique chance to market to parents through programs and events, summer camps and youth sports sponsorships. We offer signage at our sports facilities, on summer camp t-shirts and backpacks as well as tabling opportunities throughout the year. Our staff will work with you to design a custom package that creates a “win-win” for you and the park district and benefits the Joliet community. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Beth Ley today: bley@jolietpark.org or 815-207-6303.

We will offer the experiences typically found in child-centered learning centers; however, what is special about Little Sprouts is that these experiences will be focused through daily interaction with nature, animals and plant life. Research has found that children who spend more time in nature pay attention better, think more clearly, and are able to cope more effectively with stress. The nature curriculum is based on seasonal changes. Topics reflect current events in the natural world and provide the basis for daily outdoor discovery plus: • Creative arts • Natural science exploration • Large & small motor skill development • Construction play • Math & manipulative activities • Language experiences Little Sprouts is more appropriate for children whose families are looking for discovery-based learning rather than traditional lessons that are scheduled and confined by curriculum objectives. Natural themes and materials are incorporated throughout indoor and outdoor activities. Program deadlines are 1 week prior to start date unless otherwise noted.
