Gurnee Park District Summer 2016 Program and Events Guide

DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE 

Welcome to fun 

Dear Gurnee Park District Residents, 

Every summer has a story, and Gurnee Park District is excited about writing ours 

this season with help from all of you. We have lots of fun, engaging programs 

and events planned for you this summer. However, our biggest story is a new 

initiative we are very proud to launch called GO GURNEE. 

I, along with a few of my team members, had the honor of attending the National Park and 

Recreation Conference in September 2015. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, was one of 

the keynote speakers at the event. Dr. Murthy’s remarks about the tremendous amount of health 

benefits from walking for just a half an hour each day moved our team. For the past several months 

we have been working on creating a movement in our community that will benefit our health and 

wellness and the result is GO GURNEE! 

GO GURNEE is a community wellness movement designed to increase community health through 

activity, education and collaboration. 

As a Park District, we take our role in building a healthy community seriously, and we want Gurnee to 

be a place where being physically active is not only easy but fun. GO GURNEE is free and accessible 

to all residents and friends of Gurnee. 

On Sunday, May 1, 2016, we invite the entire community to join us at Viking Park (4374 Old Grand 

Avenue, Gurnee) for our kick-off event and a 30 minute walk. Then we want everyone to start walking 

daily for the month of May in your own neighborhood or a park/trail of your choice. We will get 

together at the end of the month to celebrate our success. 

For more details, please visit GOGURNEE.com or Facebook.com/GOGURNEE and join the 

conversation by using #GOGURNEE. 

In addition to GO GURNEE, we will be hosting our Sounds of Summer Concert Series, Farmers’ Market 

and memorable events at Hunt Club Park Aquatic Center as well as Family Olympics, Fishing Derby 

and Rec-Mobile. See the color insert for all special event details. 

Summer is the time for family, and at Gurnee Park District, we are pleased that you are a part of ours. 

As we write our story this summer, we need you to be part of it. Let our story be how we improved our 

health and wellness by choosing a lifestyle that incorporates the simple act of walking for half an hour 

each day. 

As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions to further enhance our services. Please feel 

free to call me at 847-623-7788 or e-mail me at skuruvilla@gurneeparkdistrict.com. 

Warmly, 

Susie Kuruvilla, CPA, CPRP

Gurnee Park District, a municipal governing agency, provides parks, 

recreational facilities and programs for its residents. The Board of Commissioners 

is made up of five elected officials, each serving four-year terms. Board 

meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00p at Viking Park, 

4374 Old Grand Avenue, and are open to the public. 

Mission Statement: 

Promoting fun and preserving nature. 

Vision Statement: 

As a nationwide leader in our field, be the premier provider of communitydriven 

and innovative park and recreation experiences, while maintaining 

financial stability. 

Have you met…Steve Becker, Parks Team Grounds Operator Supervisor? 

We are so grateful to have Steve 

Becker, a nature enthusiast, adventure 

seeking and longtime employee of 

Gurnee Park District (GPD), part of 

our team. He has been with GPD 

for almost 20 years! He first joined 

the Gurnee Park District family when 

he attended our Growing Tree 

Preschool program. Becker first realized that he was 

interested in trees and their diversity while at his first 

job at a landscape nursery. Luckily for us, Steve found 

a job opening with the Park District from the local 

newspaper. 

Steve was raised in Gurnee, but does not limit his travels 

to the 60031 area. His most memorable vacation was a 

trip to Antarctica. He kayaked, saw humpback whales 

and even camped out on the ice next to penguins! 

(Don’t worry, Steve won’t be planning Gurnee Park 

District’s next Family Camp Out anytime soon.) 

Not only does Steve spend time traveling outdoors, but 

his work as Gurnee Park District’s Grounds Operator 

Supervisor keeps him busy outside. During the summer, 

you can find him at any one of our various parks. While 

he is there, he is looking for areas of improvement, 

managing projects and cleaning up the parks. “If you 

see the Parks Department in any of our parks, feel free 

to ask them questions or provide 

them with any comments,” Steve 

stated. 

Did you know we have 27 parks 

and over 400 acres of green, 

open space? Steve’s favorite park 

location is University Park. “It is laid 

out perfectly with the right amount 

of natural area and a playground. 

There is even a stream that flows 

through it,” he explained. 

Pictured above is 

Steve in a 1980-81

Preschool photo. 

On behalf of Gurnee Park District, 

we wish to thank Steve for all his 

hard work and dedication to the Park District and 

community! Our parks would not be as beautiful as 

they are without your time and support.

These classes allow parents to participate with their 

children for an introduction to water exploration and water 

safety. One adult per child in each class is required. (KM)

exposed to the pool to experience supported 

movement and to learn basic water skills.

coordinated arm and leg movements with the 

use of water noodles and other instructional 

equipment. Life jacket use for toddlers will be 

reviewed. 

Water Tikes (Ages 2.5-4 yrs.): This class begins with 

both the parent and child in the water and as 

the child begins to gain confidence, the parent is 

slowly weaned from participation.

participant must be able to swim the length of the 

pool unsupported with proper technique for the 45

taught and swimming and diving skills are further 

refined. Breaststroke is introduced. 

Level 5: Swimming distances of 100 yards 

becomes a requirement in this level as 

endurance and technique are further 

developed. Butterfly is introduced.

Gurnee Park District's Award Winners 

Each year the Illinois Association of Park Districts allows 

member agencies like Gurnee Park District (GPD) to 

submit the names of employees, volunteers, elected 

officials and civic leaders who go above and beyond 

assisting Park Districts. This year, Gurnee Park District Board 

of Commissioners and staff have submitted the following 

individuals and companies for their outstanding efforts to 

help foster our mission of quality parks and programs in 

Gurnee. These awards are presented jointly with the Illinois 

Association of Park Districts and Illinois Park and Recreation 

Association. 

We are grateful to these people and so many others who 

have devoted themselves to our mission of promoting fun 

and preserving nature! 

The staff at Nike Gurnee received the IAPD/IPRA 

Community Service award. They were nominated this 

year for their outstanding efforts to help foster the mission 

of quality parks and programs in Gurnee. Director of 

Recreation, Scott Crowe, made the presentation to Robin 

Strain, Store Manager, and noted that Nike staff have been 

working with us for three years on the Gurnee Days 10K and 

every Wednesday in the summer with the Rec-Mobile. They 

actually took the lead on Rec-Mobile nights, working with 

our interns. Employees have also volunteered with Families 

on the Fairway and the Fishing Derby. Scott stated the 

GPD staff sincerely appreciate their efforts. "He presented 

a plaque to Robin and staff members, Selena Hernandez 

and Cindy Zamudio. Robin noted, "Nike, as a company, 

challenge the staff to volunteer in the community, and we 

hope to continue for years to come." 

Danielle Friedl received the IAPD/IPRA Community Service 

award. Danielle’s volunteerism started when she was in first 

grade volunteering for events at the Fire Department. In 

fourth grade, Danielle volunteered at the Candle Vigil on 

September 11th and sent “Patriotic Friends” and Beanie 

Babies to children affected by 9/11. Shortly after, she 

began volunteering at Gurnee Park District events. 

Since 2001, Danielle has volunteered at over 50 events 

at the Park District. Whether she was collecting pop tabs, 

clothing, canned goods, greeting card front, or spending 

time at Gurnee Fire Station special events, Danielle was 

there helping wherever she was needed. 

In 2007 Danielle was hired at Gurnee Park District. She 

has worked as a birthday party, building as well as rock 

wall attendant, lifeguard, swim instructor, pool attendant, 

pool manager, swim lesson manager, customer service 

manager, and swim lesson coordinator. She is also the first 

person to volunteer at aquatic special events hosted at 

our facilities. 

A few years ago, Danielle took a full-time position as 

an Anesthesia Tech at Skokie Hospital but still continues 

her great working relationship with Gurnee Park District, 

coming in whenever possible. Many young employees in 

the Aquatic Department look up to Danielle for guidance 

and advice in their life and she’s able to assist them while 

balancing working 60+ hour weeks. Danielle even gives 

up her days off from the hospital to work at Gurnee Park 

District where she calls “home.” 

Kara Moss, Aquatic Facility Manager, state, "Over the 

years, I’ve seen Danielle grow into a mature, confident and 

dependable employee. She surpasses any challenge that 

comes her way and strives for others to do the same. Her 

tremendously hard work ethic is contagious and a great 

example for all to see."

District Receives 

the Certificate of 

Achievement for 

Excellence in Financial 

Reporting for 18th 

Consecutive Year 

For the 18th year in a row, Gurnee 

Park District has received a Certificate of Achievement 

for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government 

Finance Officers Association of the United States and 

Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial 

report (CAFR). The Certificate of Achievement is the 

highest form of recognition in the area of governmental 

accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment 

represents a significant accomplishment by a government 

and its management. 

When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded, an Award 

of Financial Reporting Achievement is also presented to 

the individual designated by the government as primarily 

responsible for its having earned the award. This has 

been presented to Michael Szpylman, Director of Business 

Services, who worked closely with the auditors and Business 

Services staff, Kim McCormack, Nichole Todd and Vicki 

Zika, to assure the Park District’s financial reporting met 

very high standards. The CAFR is judged by an impartial 

panel to meet the high standards of the program including 

demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” 

to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate 

potential users and user groups to read the CAFR. 

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving 

approximately 17,500 government finance professionals 

with offices in Chicago, IL and Washington, D.C.

Top 10 Summer Safety Tips 

From Kraig Owens, Safety Specialist 

1. Hydration: Did you know that if 

you’re thirsty, you’re already mildly 

dehydrated? Remind your family 

to drink water often throughout 

the day. We offer drinking fountains 

at many of our parks for your 

convenience. 

8. Playground Safety: Double check surfaces are not 

too hot, and your children are wearing playground 

friendly attire. 

9. Mosquitos: Eliminate all sources of standing water 

on your property – flower pots, rain gutters and pet 

bowls to prevent the breeding of mosquitos. 

10. Bites and Stings: Apply insect repellent to prevent 

bug bites. 

2. Pool Safety: Always watch your children near 

the pool, no matter what their age or swimming 

capability. We offer lifejackets for all sizes at Hunt 

Club Park Aquatic Center to keep you and your 

family safe. 

3. Sunburn: Liberally apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30) 

15 minutes before venturing outdoors. Don’t forget 

to reapply at least every two hours. 

4. Overheating: Stay hydrated to prevent heatrelated 

illness. In all of our summer camps, we take 

water breaks to ensure your child is safe all summer 

long. You can even take a dip in one of our pools to 

cool off from the heat! 

5. Ride Safely: Wear are helmet while riding a bike 

and make sure the bike is the appropriate size for the 

rider. 

6. Clothing: Wear loose fitting clothing to keep cool, 

protect you from the sun and mosquitoes. Also, 

wear sunglasses that provide 100% UVA and UVB 

protection and a wide brimmed hat to cover your 

face and neck. 

7. Sun Exposure: Reduce exposure to the sun from 

10:00 am – 4:00 pm when UV rays are the strongest.

ADULT PROGRAMS AND SPORTS 

Adult Tennis Lesson 

Gurnee Park District offers several levels 

of adult instructional tennis programs; 

choose the program that fits your skill 

level. All classes are for participants 16 years of age & up. 

Beginner-Advance Beginner (B/AB) (NTRP 1.0-1.9): One has 

no (or quite limited) tennis experience and is still working 

at getting the ball over the net. You may be familiar with 

scoring, but not with basic positions and procedures 

of singles and doubles play. Instruction includes stroke 

production, basic court position and singles and doubles 

strategy. 

Adv. Beg.-Int. (NTRP 2.0-3.0): You have had some lessons 

but need on-court experience. You have obvious stroke 

weaknesses, but are beginning to 

feel comfortable with singles and 

doubles play. Classes include stroke 

development, footwork, court 

position, strategy, cooperative 

consistency drills and match play. 

Intermediate 1-2 (NTRP 3.1- 

3.4): You can place shots with 

moderate success and can sustain 

a rally of slow pace but are not 

comfortable with all strokes and 

lack consistency in serving. Classes 

include advanced stroke development, 

footwork, court position, strategy, 

consistency drills, competitive play action 

drills and match play. 

Intermediate 2-3 (NTRP 3.5-3.9): You have 

dependable strokes on both forehand and 

backhand sides, have the ability to use a 

variety of shots including lobs, overheads 

and volleys, can place the first serve and 

force some errors. You are rarely out of 

place in a doubles game. Class emphasis 

is on approach shots, footwork shot selection, and the 

transition game through play action drills and controlled 

match play.

Volunteers Make a Difference 

Volunteers are vital to most of the programs we offer – staffing special 

events, coaching youth sports, serving lunch to our seniors, assisting in our 

children’s programs, assisting with crafts and science projects, keeping 

our parks beautiful – these are some of the many ways volunteers help 

the Gurnee Park District. And yes, they really do make a difference! 

Enhance your life while helping others. Persons ages 12 and older are 

encouraged to get involved by volunteering. Currently, we are in need of 

the following types of volunteers: 

Special Events Assistants

You may volunteer to decorate, help with food preparation, assist with 

crafts and games or welcome people at the door.

a team for the Gurnee Park District. We are asking for an hour and a half 

commitment during the week and one hour commitment during the

Aquatic Center Waiver 

Important Information 

The Gurnee 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 participant’s safety. 

However, participants and parents/guardians of minors engaged in aquatic activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury. 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 and it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Gurnee Park 

District to guarantee absolute safety. 

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 under 12 years of age must be supervised at all 

times by a responsible person, 16 years of age or older. 

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 Gurnee Park District’s 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 under 12 years of age at all times. 

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

Gurnee Park District’s facilities and programs against the Gurnee Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees (hereinafter 

collectively referred as “District”). 

I do hereby fully release and forever discharge Gurnee Park 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 Gurnee 

Park District’s aquatic facilities and programs.
