Dear Vernon Hills Residents, 

I know it may not feel like it yet, but soon warmer weather will welcome everyone back 

to the parks, kids back to the playgrounds and camps, and families to the pool. 

Speaking of pools, Family Aquatic Center (FAC) season passes are on sale now! 

Purchase your pass before April 30th and save 10%. I hope everyone who enjoys our 

aquatic center all summer long will attend our annual Summer Splash pool party family 

event on August 5th. 

Kids’ Castle Playground in Deerpath Park will be getting a complete makeover this 

spring. Its originality and charm will be represented in a new design representative of a 

castle. Thank you to all of the residents who came out to Deerpath Park in the fall to help 

tear down the original Kids’ Castle. Other renovations to Deerpath Park include the 

addition of player’s benches, bleachers, backstops to the ball fields; electricity, and six 

tennis courts. 

The Sullivan Community Center will be undergoing a renovation beginning this June 

with a completion in the spring of 2017. The Administrative staff, currently housed in 

the Larry Laschen Community Center, is moving to the Sullivan Center and additional office 

space is being created for this purpose. Additionally, a new, secure preschool wing is being 

developed with four classrooms and a second gymnasium is being built too. A more detailed 

explanation of the renovation can be found on page 4. 

The Turtles Swim Team coaches are offering swim clinics during Spring Break, March 

21-25. The clinics are focused on committed swimmers who are interested in furthering 

their competitive strokes. Moreover, a Red Cross Lifeguard Certification class is also 

offered during spring break for those 15 years and older. Successful completion of this 

course results in a 2-year Lifeguard Certification. See page 6 for details. 

Outdoor water recreational programs are now being offered at the Park District! 

Youth Sailing classes (page 36) and Adult Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) classes (page 42) 

are being offered multiple times in June and July. Learn a new sport and register for these 

new programs early! We are also offering new adult fitness classes: Simply Strength, TRX, 

and Masala Bhangra. Classes are listed beginning on page 46. The time is now to find what 

fitness program works best for you! 

Mark your calendar for our Movies in the Park series! Free movies will be shown on 

the last Friday of the month, June through August in Deerpath Park. Check the website 

for the featured movie of the month. We have eight special events (pages 6-10) planned 

for this spring and summer! On Saturday, July 23, we are offering our first Flick & Float, a 

family evening at the Family Aquatic Center to play in the pool and watch a movie on the big, 

inflatable movie screen. Also, don’t forget to mark your calendars for our annual Little Bear 

Ribfest on August 19th and 20th. 

Have fun this summer and be sure to take time to enjoy your parks.

SULLIVAN COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT 

Sullivan Community Center Renovation: Explanation and Renderings 

The Vernon Hills Park District is renovating and expanding the Sullivan Community Center. 

Construction will begin in June, 2016 and is scheduled to be completed in Spring, 2017. 

The project includes: 

Four new preschool rooms on the 

south side of the building. Existing 

preschool rooms will be demolished. 

A gymnasium addition at the northeast 

corner of the building. 

A new main entry form on the east 

side of the building (adjacent to the 

main parking lot). 

 

Administrative staff currently housed in 

the Laschen Community Center. 

The existing Sullivan Community 

Center exterior is decorative concrete 

block with brick highlight bands. The 

proposed additions will utilize these 

same materials, maintaining a similar 

aesthetic. The new east entrance will 

have a vaulted entry canopy, replicating 

the current architecture. 

 

drop off lane along the south side of the 

building, re-orientating the sidewalk 

along the entry drive in that location, 

enclosing the preschool playground with 

ing 

the entry walk and parking at the 

new east entrance. The pedestrian 

pathway along the north side of the 

building will be relocated to continue 

around the new gymnasium addition.

Help Protect Your Pool 

Contamination of our pools can be avoided 

with your help! In the best interests of all our 

patrons, we ask that you take the following 

safety precautions when visiting the FAC: 

Take children to the toilet often. 

All children who are not toilet-trained, 

 

over diapers or swim diapers. 

Change infants/toddlers diapers in a 

bathroom. 

Never rinse off an un-diapered child in the 

pool. 

Shower with soap and warm water before 

entering the pool. 

Avoid using the pool if you are currently 

suffering from diarrhea, and for at least two 

weeks after you have recovered. 

Do not drink or swallow pool water. 

Inform a lifeguard if you see fecal matter in 

the pool. 

The Family Aquatic Center complies with 

the procedures recommended by the Illinois 

Department of Public Health. In the event of 

a fecal or vomit accident, we will: 

1. Clear the water of all swimmers. 

2. Remove as much of the matter from the 

water as possible. 

3. Clean and disinfect equipment used to 

remove the matter. 

4. Place powdered chlorine or liquid bleach in 

the contaminated area to raise the chlorine 

level. 

5. Close the water area for 30 minutes. 

6. Test water in the affected area. The pool 

will re-open if readings fall within the appropriate 

ranges. 

7. Maintain chlorine level of at least 2.0 ppm 

for 24 hrs. 

17. Lifeguards are responsible for enforcing safety rules and responding to emergencies. 

Parents or guardians should supervise their children. 

18. The Vernon Hills Park District reserves the right to add additional rules and policies or enforce 

current rules and policies more strictly as needed without notice. 

Safety First

and supported by our insurance carrier. 

Riders on the Lazy River must be at least 42” tall; children under 48” tall must be accompanied 

by a parent/guardian. Riders on any slide must be 48” tall to ride the slide without a 

life jacket. Riders, 42”-47” tall may ride the slides with a coast guard approved life jacket. 

Patrons below 42” tall are prohibited from riding the slides.

lesson is being held? Patrons should call our weather hotline at 

(847)996-6616 or check the website. 

2. How old do you have to be to come to the facility by yourself? 

A child must be 11 years old to come to the pool without adult 

supervision. Children 10 and under must be accompanied by an 

adult, 16 years or older, at all times. 

3. Can I come back in the facility later if I have already paid? 

Yes, you must get a hand stamp at the front entrance when you 

are leaving which will enable you to re-enter the facility at a later 

time that same day. 

4. What do I do if there is bad weather while I’m at the FAC? 

Will I get my money back? If thunder and lightning or other 

inclement weather are seen at the Family Aquatic Center, all 

patrons are expected to either go into the bathhouses or exit 

the facility and wait in their car until weather passes. Waiting 

under an umbrella on the pool deck or in the concession stand 

is prohibited. No refunds are given if the facility closes due to 

inclement weather. 

5. What is the temperature of the water in the pool? The District 

attempts to maintain the water at a temperature of 82 degrees 

fahrenheit. Though the pools are heated, long periods of cold 

ing 

operating hours. 

6. Can I put my niece, who is staying with me for the summer, on 

my family pool pass? Those relatives that are only going to be 

residing with the pass holder over the summer must either pay a 

daily fee or be added to the family pass as a non-resident. 

7. How do I avoid the lines and crowd in the concession stand? 

On a typical day, the busiest time in the concession area is during 

our adult swim breaks. To avoid standing in line, it is best to 

go right before or right after these times. 

8. Why are the lap lanes and main pool not open from 10:30- 

11:30 am? During this time, our swim lesson program is held in 

the main leisure pool. However, the remainder of the facility is 

available for your enjoyment. 

9. Can I use my pass from last year? Yes. If you still have your 

pass from last year, it can be reactivated. Prior to opening 

weekend, check your pass to ensure it is in good condition for 

scanning. Passes can be reprinted at no charge each year when 

you renew your pass. You may want to check and make sure 

your photo is up to date in our system. 

10. If I do not plan on swimming, do I still have to pay the 

admission fee? Yes. Unfortunately we have no way of keeping 

track of who swims and who does not once you have entered the 

facility. To be fair, everyone is charged an admission fee. 

11. Can I bring my own food into the Family Aquatic Center? No. 

For your convenience, the Family Aquatic Center has a concession 

stand where food can be purchased. Anyone wishing to 

bring their own food/drink must consume it outside the FAC. We 

have picnic tables located in front of the facility. 

12. What toys can I bring to the pool? Staff reserves the right 

to prohibit the use of any and all water toys at the facility. This is 

tion 

devices are allowed at the pool at any time. These include 

 

13. Can previously purchased Daily Admissions be applied 

towards the purchase of a Season Pass? No, previously purchased 

Daily Admissions cannot be applied towards a Season 

Pass. 

14. Can I use a life jacket for my child? Coast Guard 

approved life jackets are allowed. An adult, 16 years or older, 

must be within arms reach of any child using a life jacket at all 

times. Check with the pool management staff to insure your life 

jacket is acceptable.

Preschool FAQ’s 

Do preschoolers need to be potty trained? Children in 2 year old and Young 

3’s preschool do not need to be potty trained, however instructors are not 

responsible for changing diapers. Three, four and Pre-K preschool children 

must be potty trained. 

What is your discipline policy? We use a brief time-out in the classroom. Our 

goal in using this technique is to remove a child from the situation long enough 

to allow him/her to regain control of him/herself. Positive redirection is 

another core discipline procedure. Appropriate boundaries and rules for behavior 

are established early in the school year. 

Can I observe a class in session? Yes! Call Gail Herrmann at 847-996-6808,

clocks. Popular pets will also see the cartoon treatment as they’re transformed into colorful characters. Then we will 

imagine ourselves traveling to far away worlds as we illustrate amazing alien beings. We will also demonstrate to our 

students that drawing toys can be just as much fun as playing with them. All this and more await our students.

The same process can be used when teaching music: listening 

to and playing melodies precedes learning to read musical 

notation, if only for a short time. After students become familiar 

with the geography of the instrument and master basics of 

playing technique, the ability to read music comes easier. The

FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER SEASON PASS - 2016 

 

AQUATIC CENTER PASS WAIVER & RELEASE 

Important Information 

The Vernon Hills Park District “Park District” is committed to providing safe aquatic facilities and programs and holds the safety of 

participants in high regard. The Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules 

and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors engaged in 

aquatic activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury. 

You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities 

associated with this Pool Pass. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered 

an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical/aquatic activity. 

Please understand and recognize that lifeguards are not responsible for providing supervision or assessing your swimming skills or that 

of your minor child; rather, lifeguards are responsible for enforcing safety rules and responding to emergencies. Adult pool pass holders 

and parents of minor pool pass holders are solely responsible for supervision of any and all activities contemplated by this agreement. 

Additionally, children 10 years of age and younger must be supervised at all times by a responsible person, 16 years of age or older. 

NEVER LEAVE ANY CHILD WITH POOR SWIMMING SKILLS OR 10 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER 

UNACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR RESPONSIBLE PERSON, 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER 

Warning of Risk 

Swimming and other aquatic activities challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant 

.However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious 

injury, including but not limited to drowning, head/brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Understandably not all hazards and dangers can 

be foreseen. The very nature of swimming and aquatic activities are hazardous and risky including but not limited to fatigue and 

overexertion, poor swimming skills, failing to avoid dangerous areas, failing to follow rules and regulations, failure of lifeguards to locate 

victims and/or delay in emergency response time, horseplay, diving or cannon-balling into shallow water and striking the bottom or side 

of the pool or waterslide, inadequate supervision or instruction, lack of conditioning, becoming disoriented, striking other swimmers, 

striking one’s head on the bottom, slip and falls on the deck or within the locker facility, chemical exposure and all other circumstances 

inherent to aquatic activities. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Park District to guarantee absolute safety. 

Waiver and Release of all Claims and Assumption of Risk 

Please read this form carefully and be aware that in consideration for this Pool Pass, you will be expressly assuming the 

risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ 

ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with use of the Park 

District aquatic facilities and programs. I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain inherent risks of physical injury 

to patrons of aquatic facilities, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, damages or loss, regardless of 

severity that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities and programs connected with or 

associated with this Pool Pass. I further recognize and agree that lifeguards and other aquatic staff are not responsible for supervising 

my activities or the activities of my minor child(ren) and I agree that I am solely responsible for supervising my minor children and/or 

assessing whether my children are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for aquatic activities. I additionally agree to supervise any 

children ages 10 and under at all times. 

I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I, or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as 

a result of use of the Park District’s aquatic facilities and programs against the Park District, including its officials, agents, 

volunteers and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as “District”). 

I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the District from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that my 

minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in 

any way associated with use of the Park District’s aquatic facilities and programs. 

I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and 

release of all claims. If registering via fax, my facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form 

of signature.

discrimination in the provision of programs, services or activities to 

individuals with disabilities. We invite any participant with a special 

need to contact our staff or our SRA staff, upon registration, so that a 

smooth inclusion can occur. If you have any questions regarding the 

Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated 

against in the provision of programs, services or activities of the 

Vernon Hills Park District, please contact Jeff Fougerousse, Executive 

Director, at (847)996-6800. For the deaf or hearing-impaired, call the 

Illinois Relay Center voice only operator at 800-526-0857. 

Age Qualification 

 

programs. Only the program supervisor is authorized to make exceptions 

to these age ranges. Consideration will only be given once all 

age-appropriate participants have had an opportunity to register. 

Notary Public Services Notary public services are available at the 

Lachen Community Center. Please remember that documents must be 

signed in the presence of the Notary Public. 

Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Feescantly 

contribute to the operating budget of the Park District by paying 

property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the 

Park District are eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once 

per year, each Vernon Hills household is required to show proof of 

residency in order to qualify for resident rates. Families living within 

Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible to receive resident 

discounted rates for programs. The only exceptions are facility rentals 

and daily admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 

73 residents must wait until the non-resident registration dates to 

register for programs. Non-resident fees are the second fees shown 

in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are 

necessary in order to ensure that non-resident participants contribute 

 

residents. 

Senior Citizen Discount Senior discounts are available for individual 

passes and membership to our Fitness Center for residents aged 62 

& older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic Center, a 20% 

discount will be applied. 

Payment Policy - Households with an unpaid balance will not be 

allowed to register for any Vernon Hills Park District programs, 

activities, memberships or rentals until the balance is paid in full. 

For assitance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Services 

Supervisor at 847-996-6803. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Food Allergy Policy The Park District will attempt to accommodate 

each program participant who has a food allergy in order to provide 

the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy Action 

Plan will be created by the District staff and parents and will identify 

operational practices for parents, teachers and children to follow. For 

a copy of the Food Allergy Policy, contact Tom Ritter, Superintendent of 

Recreation, at (847) 996-6802. 

No Smoking Policy In addition to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, the entire 

Park District which includes all facilities, buildings, parks, streets, 

paths, open space and all waters, is designated as tobacco free.

media promotion. Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the 

Park District to use in its informational materials. 

Vandalism Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands 

of dollars. Higher costs of maintenance, repair and clean up of park 

areas can be avoided only with your help. Should you see vandalism 

occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449. 

Discipline A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff 

periodically reviews rules with participants during programs. If inappropriate 

or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt resolution will be 

sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline. 

The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions 

endanger the safety of himself.
