From the Park Board President
Dear Lake Bluff Park District Residents:
Spring is a time of transition at the Lake Bluff Park District. Upgrade and improvement projects
are on schedule and some have been completed. We are very excited for the opening of the new
Tot Pool: it is sure to be a big hit for families with young children. The new staircase at
Sunrise Beach will provide a safer, easier walk for visitors to access one of our most valued assets.
In 2015, the Board approved a new policy to appoint one Community Member to each Board
Committee. Each Committee consists of two Board Members and one Community Member,
and meets quarterly to make recommendations to the Full Board. On January 25, the Board
approved the following appointments:
Niki Walsh
France Pitera
George Russell
Facilities and Programs Committee
Finance, Administration and Future Planning Committee
Parks and Beach Committee
In the coming weeks, the Park District will continue Phase I of an extensive Bluff Restoration
and Maintenance Project. This project was identified as a high priority based on community,
Citizen Advisory Committee, Landscape Architect, and Board involvement. Phase I consists of
removing Ash and Norway Maples from the north beach, seeding and on-going maintenance.
In 2015, the Park Board retained Native Restoration Services, Inc. for Phase I: weather prevented
the project from being completed last year. Canopy Trees will assist Native Restoration Services,
Inc. with the project, and Cliff Miller of PCM Landscape Artistry, is managing the project on
behalf of the Park District. Miller will work directly with the contractor to ensure scope of
service is followed. This Phase may run through October, 2016.
We greatly value the input and opinions of all of our residents. We will continue to review our
operations and practices to balance the best possible programs, services and facilities with fiscal
responsibility. I hope to see you this summer visiting our parks, new Tot Pool and Sunrise Beach.
Best regards,
Rob Douglass, Board President

F.A.Q.
Lake Bluff Park
District Boundaries
Details, Details
ADA Compliance
High School Students, Take Note:
Please note: A Lake Bluff postal address
All adult programs are open to high
school students unless otherwise noted.
The Lake Bluff Park District will comply
with the Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. If anyone in
your family would like to participate in a
Park District program but requires special
facilities or equipment because of a disability, please phone 847-234-4150. The
Park District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs
and facilities to enable participation by an
individual with a disability. The ADA requires that recreational programs offered by
the Park District be available in the most
integrated setting appropriate for each
individual. If you have any questions
about the Park District’s policy regarding
ADA, or believe you have been discriminated against by the Park District, contact
847-234-4150. A procedure is available for
the resolution of complaints.
does not, in itself, determine Park District
residency. Residency is determined by
residing within, or working full-time for
companies located within, the Lake Bluff
Park District boundaries. In both instances,
taxes are being paid to the Lake Bluff
Park District. Individuals who do not live
in or work full-time within the Lake
Bluff Park District do not pay taxes to
the Park District. The non-resident fees
are intended to apportion an equalizing
fee to our non-resident participants, so
they contribute to the overall financing
of the park system on an equitable basis
with residents. Park District maps are
available at the Park District office at
Blair Park.
Park District Program
Guide Delivery:
Does It Mean You’re a Resident?
Lake Bluff Park District Program Guides
are delivered by the Lake Bluff Post Office to homeowners/businesses in Lake
Bluff, Knollwood, and North Chicago.
Even though you receive a brochure
through the mail, you may not be a Park
District resident. Only those who pay
taxes to the Lake Bluff Park District are
considered residents. Please call the Park
District Office at 847-234-4150 if you
have any questions concerning resident requirements.
Min/Max:
For each program at the Park District,
there’s a minimum number of registrants
needed before a class can “go.” Most
teachers are paid per class period, not
per student. So if enough people don’t
register, the Park District loses money—
your money. In order to determine adequate registration, your registration
must be at least seven days prior to the
first date the class is held.
But why a maximum? The more students,
the less individualized attention. We like
to keep the student /teacher ratio low to
ensure you get what you expect—a high
quality program. The minimum number
of registrants is the first number shown.
The maximum is the second one shown.
Resident/Non-Resident Fees:
When two fees for a program are shown
with a slash separating them (for example
$50/$60), the first fee is the Park District
Resident fee, and the second fee is the
Non-Resident fee.
Photo Policy:
Photos are periodically taken of participants
in a class, during a special event or at the
District’s parks. Please be aware that
these photos are for Park District use
only and may be used in the District’s
web site, brochures, pamphlets, social
media or flyers.
Lake Forest Residents
Are You Covered?
Effective January 1, 2016 Lake Forest
Residents will be eligible to receive resident rates for all recreation programs,
daily fees and memberships. Included
are Fitness, Paddle and Golf memberships,
Recreation Programs and Services. Lake
Bluff Pool and Beach memberships and
fees are not included.
The Lake Bluff Park District does not
carry medical or accident insurance for
program participants—the cost would
make program fees prohibitive. Please
review your own personal health insurance
plan to be certain that you and your
family have proper coverage.

Swimming Conditions at Sunrise Beach
The Lake Bluff Park District has improved its communication with Sunrise Beach users by indicating swimming
conditions with a flag system. A green, yellow or red flag will be flown at the entrance to Sunrise Beach and
will be posted on our web site letting beachgoers know the daily swimming conditions. The color of the flag
and conditions are described below:
Green Flag means: Low Bacteria Levels, No Advisory
Yellow Flag means: Elevated Bacteria Levels, and or Riptide Alert, Caution Swimming Advisory
Red Flag means: When you come to the beach and the Red Flag is posted it means the water is closed
for swimming. You can still have your day at the beach but you must stay completely out of the water.
There are several reasons why Sunrise Beach will post a Red Flag:
• High levels of bacteria will close the beach to swimmers. The Lake County Health Department tests our
Important Regulations
1. Beaches are closed at 10:00 pm. Anyone wishing to
use the beach after closing may do so by obtaining
a permit at the Park District office.
2. Parking east of Moffett Rd. is prohibited after 9:00
pm. Any planned beach activity beyond the 9:00 pm
parking restriction will require a special parking permit that may be obtained at the Park District office.
3. The Village of Lake Bluff police department maintains a
regular patrol of the beach and enforces all Park District ordinances. In addition, a security patrol is on
duty from 7:00 pm until after the beach closes. The
patrol monitors the beach to ensure that our beach
facility remains safe and pleasant for the entire
community.
4. Swimming is allowed only in the supervised swimming areas as posted at the beach. No guest
swimming off dog beach area. Only dogs may
swim at dog beach.
5. Beaches will be closed whenever water is considered
unsafe by the Health Department or lifeguards.
Closures will be indicated with a red flag and posted
on the Park District website.
6. Inflatable rafts or similar devices are not allowed
unless life preservers are worn and used only in the
supervised swimming area.
7. Children 10 years and under must be accompanied by
an individual 16 years or older.
8. Lake Bluff Park District resident dog owners must
complete the Dog Responsibility contract and have a
Lake Bluff Park District Beach Dog Tag secured to the
dog’s collar.

100 feet of the South beach.

beach daily. If the E. coli count is higher than 235 E. coli colony forming units/100 milliliters of water, it is
determined to be precarious for swimmers. The water will be closed until a clean test result is returned. To
reopen the water for swimming, a resample will be taken and the E. coli count must be less than 235 cfu.
A measurement of two inches of rain will also close the water for swimming. Run-off debris from the
ravines and streets are deposited into the water possibly causing unsafe conditions. Closing the beach to
swimming is a health precaution.
Strong Undertow: When the winds shift and the wave swells become strong, the undertow can become
dangerous. In these instances, the beach staff will go into the water to measure the strength of the undertow.
Should it be too strong, the beach will post a Red Flag and close the water to swimming.
Rip Currents are a strong channel of water flowing seaward from near the shore, typically through the
surf line.
Beach Patrol
Beginning May 14, the Park District will continue the night beach security patrol to ensure that our
10:00 pm curfew is enforced and that appropriate activities are being supervised.
Beach Shelters
Shelters are located at the north and south ends of the beach. The shelters have fireplaces and picnic
tables. Shelters are closed Monday–Thursday and Sunday at 10:00 pm, and can be reserved until
midnight on Friday and Saturday by completing the shelter reservation.
Beach Passes
All beach users must present their beach pass or pay a daily fee during the supervised hours. Passes
are free to residents and available at the Park District office.
Lifeguards
Guards will be on duty to collect fees, check beach passes and check dog beach tags. Please hold on to
your receipt for possible spot checks during the day.

Lake Bluff Masters Swim
Synchronized Swimming
Have a passion for swimming, but no
one to swim with? This program is intended for adults who enjoy swimming in
a group setting. All skill levels welcome.
Whether you are swimming to condition or training for an event, this program will help motivate you to achieve
your goals. An instructor will be present
and will guide participants through a
swim set (roughly one hour). Group instruction will be given; however, if oneon-one instruction is of interest, private
swim lessons are available. Feel free to
swim at your own pace or with others in
your lane. This program can be as individual or as group oriented as you make
it. This master’s program will not formally
compete in swimming competitions.
Synchronized swimming combines
graceful strokes, underwater figures and
surface formations while building endurance and breath control. In this class
swimmers will learn a simple routine
that incorporates each of these elements
as they are learned. No previous experience is required; all skill levels are welcome. Participants must be comfortable
swimming underwater and in the deep
end of the pool. Nose clips will be provided for you to keep.

Dear Lake Bluff Paddle Enthusiast:
Welcome to the 2016–2017 Paddle Season. We are excited to let you know that our
paddle program will have something for everyone! If you like competition, then you
should play on one of our teams. We have women’s paddle teams competing in the
North Shore Women’s Platform Tennis League in series 1, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 13. We are
looking to add a beginner team at the series 16 level. We have men’s paddle teams
competing in the Chicago Platform Tennis Charities League in series 6/5.0(c),
10/4.5(c), 15/4.0(c), 19/4.0(g), 20/3.5(a), 26/3.5(g), 27/3.5(h), 31/3.0(d), and
32/3.0(e). We now have six Women’s Teams and nine Men’s Teams, and are looking
to add a beginner team at the series 16 level for women. We compete with clubs all
over the North Shore and we still need beginners, advanced players and everything
in between to continue the growth of our club!
New Assistant Professional Denise Murphy has brought some great ideas to the program and is a welcome addition to the club!
If you like to be social, then our club is the answer to Friday night fun and more.
We have mixers two Fridays a month, and many special events like the Turkey Memorial Open, Super Bowl Super Team Co-ed Tournament, Men’s Bring-a-Ringer,
Men’s Money Ball, and Ladies’ Member/Guest Day to name a few.
If you have children, then you will enjoy the many opportunities for them to get involved and learn this great sport. We have group lessons for ages 5–18 years, a junior
travel team with practices and matches, Friday Night Junior Paddle and Pizza for
ages 6+ years, special events and camps. They are guaranteed to have fun, fun, fun!

matter your ability or whether you are looking for competitive or social paddle, we

Behavior & Discipline Guidelines
A caring, positive approach will be taken regarding discipline. Each participant
is expected to:
1. Treat all participants and staff with respect.
2. Respect all equipment.
3. Follow all rules so he/she will not place him/herself in a dangerous situation.
The purpose of discipline is to help a child develop self-control and learn to
assume responsibility for his or her own actions. We use positive statements and
reinforcements to redirect negative behavior. Should a child need more than
that, a “time out” period may be initiated. We will handle disruptive behavior
in the following manner:
1. The parent/guardian will be informed of the specific behavior. A written
memo will be given to the parent and a copy will be kept in the child’s file.
2. If the behavior continues, the instructor will inform the parents a second time.
3. If there is no change in behavior, your child will be dismissed from the
class/program; a refund will be issued for the remaining class days.
Disruptive behavior is defined as any behavior that causes, or could lead to, personal injury of your child or others. Examples: hitting, kicking, throwing things,
defying or running away. Or any behavior that disrupts the normal class climate.
Disruptive behavior, in the broad sense, is any behavior that takes the instructor
away from the rest of the class for long periods of time.
Open Gym Times
The Park District offers several open gym times for all ages. Be sure
to pick up a monthly open gym schedule at the Park District office.
Schedules are available the last week of each month. Most times not
currently programmed by the Park District are offered as open or
“drop in” gym times. All open gym times are subject to change without notice. Phone the office at 847-234-4150 with questions, and
find the current monthly schedule at www.lakebluffparks.org.

Lake Bluff School of Dance Class Descriptions
Class Descriptions
Pre-Ballet (Beginner)
In these levels children will develop
poise and musicality in a fun and creative environment. The instructor will
introduce children to a creative yet disciplined classroom structure that challenges
their curious minds while introducing
age-appropriate dance material. The students will express themselves physically
through exercises intended to increase
their coordination, strength, flexibility
and their awareness of spatial concepts
while beginning their understanding of
classical ballet. The strong emphasis on
musicality and rhythmic timing will increase their ability to listen to and dance
with the music.
Ballet and Demi-Pointe
(Beginner-Advanced)
These levels more formally offer children a challenging and disciplined classroom structure that is appropriately
geared to their growing emotional and
physical maturity. The students will
build their knowledge of the basic structure of a ballet class with a growing vocabulary and develop proper placement
of the torso, hips and legs without exceeding their anatomical limitations.
They will develop a coordination of their
arms and heads with a concentration on
smooth transitions throughout the exercises. As they progress through the levels, the difficulty and sophistication of
the classwork will increase accordingly. In
addition to their dance education, students will learn about musicality, ballet
terminology and general stage and theater craft.
Lyrical and Contemporary
(Beginner-Intermediate)
Lyrical is a fluid form of dance mixing
the elements of Jazz and Ballet. Lyrical is
set to the lyrics of the music and allows
the dancers to set their emotions free
and dance with their heart as well as
their technique. The musical focus results in movement that has a smooth,
flowing quality used to tell a story.
Page 58
Jazz
(Beginner-Advanced)
Jazz class will focus on learning proper
dance technique such as isolations of the
body, improving performance quality
and developing complex rhythms and
patterns. Students will be exposed to
various styles of jazz such as Broadway,
Street and Contemporary to help develop a well-rounded dancer. Class curriculum is based on ballet technique
layered with traditional jazz movement
and includes a proper warm-up, stretches,
isolations, jumps, leaps, turns, and acrossthe-floor progressions and combinations.
As students progress through each level
curriculum will become increasingly more
complex and intricate.
Tap (Beginner-Advanced)
Tap classes are designed to develop
rhythm, style and sound. Students will
learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap. Exercises focus on
building flexibility of the knee and ankles, coordination and speed of movement. The class emphasis is on
developing proper tap technique, producing clear tap sounds and having fun.
As students’ progress through each level
curriculum will become increasingly
more complex and intricate.

Lake Bluff School of Dance Class Descriptions
Hip Hop
(Beginner-Advanced)
Hip hop is a high-energy class that infuses the latest styles of street dancing,
breaking, popping and locking. Classes
will encourage students to step outside
of the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements. Hip hop dance requires students
to have the strength and stamina to successfully perform moves. Therefore class
includes upper and lower body conditioning as well as a rigorous warm-up to
help prepare students for more intense
movements.
Core Strength
(Beginner-Intermediate)
This class is designed to improve a
dancer’s range of motion, enhance muscle flexibility and increase their level of
core muscle strength. Through a variety
of stretches and strengthening exercises,
dancers will also increase their awareness
of their own body’s potential as it connects to expression through movement.
Poms I, II, III & IV Jumps,
Leaps and Turns
(Beginner-Advanced)
In this class, you will be learning the
proper technique, alignment and execution of the most popular turns, leaps and
jumps; fouette turns, turns a la seconde,
pirouettes, chaine and pique turns,
grand jetes, center leaps, surprise leaps,
turning leaps, barrel leaps, Russian
jumps, attitude jumps, ring jumps and
much more. This class is great for those that
are interested in doing Poms in grade
school and in high school.
Dance Play and Ballerina
Storytelling
Discover new ways of moving as you explore the elements of dance, build a
movement vocabulary and develop basic
motor and locomotor skills. Dance skills
become more challenging throughout
the year and progress with each age level.
Through the magic of dance you will
enjoy moving to music from around the
world, dancing with colorful props, and
dancing to stories and poems as you create your own dances.

When the person answers, proceed as you would with a regular call. Speak
directly to the person you are calling, not to the CA. Example: “Hi Mary, How
are you doing?”
4.
Say “Go Ahead” or “GA” when you are ready for the other person to respond.

When you are finished with your conversation, end the call by saying “Go
Ahead or SK” (stop keying) giving the TTY user an opportunity to continue

Indoor Gym
Playground
Lake Bluff Park District Residents only
Bring your children in out of the cold
and visit the indoor gym right here at
the Lake Bluff Park District Recreation
Center. Your child can enjoy running,
jumping, and playing in the gym. The
west end of the gym is reserved for
our Lake Bluff Preschool at various
times between 9 am and 3 pm during
the school year. If you are playing on
the west end of the gym and a preschool class arrives, please be courteous and move to the east end. All Park
District activities take priority over indoor gym use.
A parent must accompany children
using this service. Just as if you were
Music Together
at an outdoor playground, you are
your child’s supervisor in the gym.
Please wear inside gym shoes.
Times are subject to change according to Park District scheduled activities. Please be aware that you may be
asked to leave if the space is needed
for programs. Changes will be posted
on the Gym Door.
Open Gym Times
The Park District offers several
open gym times for all ages;
our monthly open gym schedule is available at the Park District office.
Schedules are available the
last week of each month. Most
times not currently programmed by the Park District
are offered as open or “drop
in” gym times. All open gym
times are subject to change
without notice.
Phone the office at 847-2344150 with questions, and find
the current monthly schedule

“The years before children enter kindergarten are
critical for their musical development. Young children
need a rich musical environment in which to grow.”
–The National Association for Music Education
All children are born musical. Music Together classes build on children’s natural
enthusiasm for music and movement to help develop your child’s basic musical
skills. Musical development significantly benefits a child’s physical, emotional and
intellectual developments as well. Music Together classes are just plain fun for adults
as well as children. The informal structure of the class allows children and their parents/caregivers to participate as they choose according to their development level.
Classes are mixed-age (birth to kindergarten) and focus on adult/child interaction,
so siblings attend class together. Infants blend with any age group and their musical
development benefits from early exposure. (Infant siblings under 6 months attend
for free).
The program includes a professionally recorded CD and music activity book collection to take home (different collections each session), as well as parent guides, a
parent education evening, and other resources to help you better understand and
participate in your child's musical blossoming. The classes are led by local musician
and teacher Mark Adamczyk, who has been teaching Music Together since 1999.
Find out more about Music Together and musical development at his web site
www.mrmarksmusictogether.com. Withdrawals will not be processed without
approval of teacher and deduction for materials received.

We expand on the young three’s activities and stimulate their natural curiosity
to get them thinking and asking interesting questions. Their classroom is designed to give them opportunities to do
more things independently. Our Calm
Classroom curriculum is a relaxing and
fun part of their day. With stretching
and breathing they become aware of
how their body feels. Children love
learning these skills.
Preschool for 3.6 to 5 Year Olds
Lake Bluff Morning Preschool classes for 4–5 year olds are offered either four or five
days a week.
Afternoon Preschool for 3.6–5 year olds is four days. Children bring their lunch and
then enjoy an afternoon of preschool activities.
Lake Bluff Preschool classes are taught by experienced teachers, Sheila Thomsen
and Marcine Zbynski, who know that children love to learn by using their hands.
Whether making unique designs in the classroom rock garden, doing a woodworking project, gardening or conducting a science experiment, children are encouraged
to find connections in what they are learning and express that through art, writing
or in whatever ways they are inspired to do so. We also help them become more
confident in recognizing the alphabet and the sounds of the letters, understanding
beginning math concepts and refining their skills for writing letters and numbers.
Using games and creative materials, children learn while having fun. Our practice
of Calm Classroom techniques teach skills that develop focus, concentration and a
mind that is relaxed and ready to learn.

Afternoon Kindergarten
Afternoon Kindergarten
The Afternoon Kindergarten Program is designed to engage students in rich and
varied activities designed to provide the foundation for academic and social success.
The environment provides a healthy balance between whole group, small group and
individual work, academic enrichment and play and teacher-directed and selfguided goals and pursuits. Teachers identify students’ individual interests and differentiate instruction to devise units of study to capture imaginations.
This comprehensive program boasts its servicing of LBES Kindergarteners in addition to Lake Bluff Preschoolers. LBES morning Kindergarteners can be walked to
Afternoon Kindergarten by a staff member. Children bring a lunch and will eat together before they begin their afternoon activities.
Both the child and the class will benefit from a consistent choice of days. Therefore,
specific 5, 4 or 3 days chosen stay the same throughout the school year. It is possible
to add or drop days on a one-time basis as the school year progresses (tuition will
be prorated). Registrants starting after the first day of school will have their tuition
prorated with their actual start date.
Please note: We follow the LBES calendar for national holidays and spring break.
We do not observe all LBES No School Days. Please see our Afternoon Kindergarten
calendar for details.

INSURANCE LIABILITY WAIVER The Lake Bluff Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and
holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize however, that there
is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Lake Bluff Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please recognize that the Lake Bluff Park District does not carry
medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a
family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage
does not make the Lake Bluff Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the
agency providing liability coverage for the District REQUIRES the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this
form carefully and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed above, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the
activities of this program.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS As a participant in the program, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury and I agree to
assume the full risk of any injuries, including death, damages or loss regardless of severity which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected
with or associated with such program (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a
result of participating in the program against the District and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge the District and its officers,
agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damage or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the District and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries,
including death, damages and losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program.
PERMISSION TO SECURE TREATMENT In the event of emergency, I authorize District officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical
personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care and I agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. I have read and
fully understand the aforementioned Program Details, Waiver and Release of All Claims and Permission to Secure Treatment. (Note: Please sign in an appropriate space
below.)
I have carefully read the insurance liability waiver on this page, and I understand that my signature is required below in order to participate in Lake Bluff Park District programs.

INSURANCE LIABILITY WAIVER The Lake Bluff Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of the participants in
the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.
The Lake Bluff Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety.
Please recognize that the Lake Bluff Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make
the Lake Bluff Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the District REQUIRES the execution of the Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed above, you will be waiving and releasing
all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS As a participant (or as a parent/guardian of a participant under age 18) in the Lake Bluff Park District programs, I recognize and acknowledge that there are
certain risks of physical injury and I agree to assume full risk of any injuries, including death, damages, or loss regardless of severity which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected
with or associated with such program (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against the
Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees.
I do hereby fully release and discharge the Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damage, or loss which I may have or which may accrue
to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims resulting from injuries,
including death, damages, and losses sustained by me or arising out of, connection with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program.
PERMISSION TO SECURE TREATMENT In the event of emergency, I authorize Park District officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed
necessary for my immediate care and I agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. I have read and fully understand the aforementioned Program Details, Waiver and Release
of All Claims and Permission to Secure Treatment.
(Note: Please sign in an appropriate space below.)
I have carefully read the insurance liability waiver on this form and I understand that my signature is required below in order to participate in Lake Bluff Park District programs.

Beach pass. The use of the Beach is free
to Park District residents. Entry to the
Beach requires that you show your pass
to the lifeguards who are present at the
Beach entrance. Please complete the
Pool/Beach registration form. Proof of
residency is required. Your Beach pass
will be mailed to you. Entry to the Beach
requires that you show your Beach pass
to the lifeguards who are present at the
Beach entrance.
Pool Member Last Year?
If you were an Pool member last summer, and you have last summer’s Pool
pass, you will not need to have your picture re-taken. Just register and pay your
fee, and you will be updated for the season.
Fitness Member?
If you have a Fitness Center membership
card, you will not need to have your
picture re-taken. Just register and pay
your Pool fee and your pass will be updated to include an Pool membership.

Lake Bluff Pool
FAQ
When can I register for
the pool?
A. Pool memberships can be
purchased by Residents
March 14 and
Non-Residents March 23.
I hate the long lines at the
beginning of summer! Will
the lines be long this year?
A. It is up to you. If you register well before the pool is
even filled with water—
NOW—you are in luck and
you will not be standing in
line on a hot summer day.
When is the early-bird rate?
A. This year the early-bird rate
ends on May 15.
After May 15 the rates
will increase.
Can I get my Pool pass updated the week the Pool
opens?
A. We strongly advise that you
take care of that well before
the season starts. We don’t
want you to miss out on
even an hour of time at the
pool. If you wait until then,
you will probably have to
wait in line.
Lost Your Pass?
Come to the registration desk, register,
and pay your Pool pass fee for this year.
We have your picture already on record
so we can issue you a new pass.

Spring/Summer Program Guide 2016
The Lake Bluff 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 and/or Beach 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 or bottom of lake, 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 or beach area, 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 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Please read this form carefully and be aware that in consideration for this Pool Pass and/or Beach 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 and/or Beach 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, beach 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, beach 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 on-line or via fax, my on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature.

Dog Beach Waiver and Release
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You are solely responsible for supervising your dog and determining whether or not this is an appropriate activity to participate in. You must understand that you are participating in this activity at your own risk (and
risk of your dog). You are solely responsible for determining if you and/or your dog are physical fit and/or
adequately skilled to use this facility. It is always advisable, especially if the owner/handler or dog is pregnant,
disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician or veterinarian
before undertaking any physical activity. When this Waiver & Release refers to “your dog”, “my dog”, or the
“owner” of a dog, it includes you whether or not you are the legal owner of the dog, since you are the person
responsible for the dog while using this facility.
WARNING OF RISK
Dog activities are intended to provide a fun and rewarding experience for a dog and his owner/handler. However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there
is still a risk of serious injury, including death to the dog, its owner/handler or other persons or animals. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers associated with animal activities can be foreseen. Certain inherent
risks include the propensity of any dog to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to the owner/handler or other patron or dog. Certain risks include, but are not limited to the negligence or irresponsibility of
another dog owner/handler; the inability to predict a dog’s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons,
or other animals; and actions by the dog due to fright, anger, stress, insect bites, or natural reactions such as
jumping, pulling, resisting and biting. Other risks include the hazards associated with environmental and
traffic conditions, acts of God, inclement weather, slipping, falling, premises defects, equipment failure, failure
in instruction/supervision, and all other circumstances inherent to animal and outdoor activities. Should you
attempt to break up a fight between dogs, you may be attacked and severely mauled by the other dog or attacked
by the other handler/owner. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Lake Bluff Park
District to guarantee absolute safety.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Please read this form carefully and be aware that in consideration for permission to use this facility/park, 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 dog might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with
and associated with use of this facility or surrounding area. I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain
risks of physical injury to the dog and its handler/owner in association with participating in animal activities,
and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that I
might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with or associated with use of this
facility or surrounding area. I do hereby agree to waive, relinquish, release and forever discharge the Lake
Bluff Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees (hereafter collectively “District”)
from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that I may have or which may accrue to me and arising
out of, connected with, or in any way associated with this use of this facility or surrounding area. I further
agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the District from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, cause of actions, and expenses (including but not limited to court costs and attorney fees),
on account of personal injuries or death to any person or dog, or damages to property occurring, growing out
of, incident to, or resulting directly or indirectly from my use of this facility or surrounding area.
I have read and fully understand the Dog Responsibilities Contract and the above important information,
warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via fax, your
on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature.

Refund Policy
Registration Info
In the past we allowed written requests
for withdrawals and transfers up to the
first day of the class. This has created
hardships for instructors and participants alike. Last minute changes impacted on whether some classes must be
cancelled due to low enrollment or
whether several classes must be combined. Instructors who have held times
in their schedule to teach are notified at
the last minute they are not needed.
Some classes require supplies to be purchased in advance of the first class. Participants of any class being changed or
cancelled need to be notified in a timely
manner. For all of the above reasons and
in order to have accurate class lists, we
must make a policy change.
Requests for transfers and withdrawals for any
program must be made no later than 7 days prior
to the first class. All refund and program
change requests must be made in person
at the Park District office and there is a
$5 processing fee for either one.
Other than above, refunds can only be given for
medical reasons, and will be prorated. If a medical problem occurs before or during a
program and the participant requests a
refund, a prorated refund will be assessed with a doctor’s note only, starting
with the date of the signed request which
must be made in person at the Park District office. Under no circumstances will
refunds requested after the last day of
class be approved.
When the Park District reschedules or
cancels programs, full refunds will be
given. Refunds are sent to those whose
requests have been approved within 45
days of the written request.
1. Residents may register at any time
for programs that have openings.
Early registration is recommended,
as popular classes like early childhood programs fill up quickly.
2. Individuals may register members of
their immediate family (those residing in the same household). If a participant wishes to change to a
different class after registration has
been taken, there is a $5 transfer fee
and must be done 7 days prior to the
first class. No refunds will be approved for any request for refunds or
prorated refunds made after the date
of the last class.
3. People who do not reside in the Lake
Bluff Park District pay an additional
fee for most programs, unless otherwise indicated.
4. When there is insufficient registration, classes may be consolidated,
postponed or cancelled. Those who
have signed up for a class that has
been cancelled will be notified and
offered an alternative choice if one is
available.
5. A waiver and release of all claims is
included on all program registration
forms. Please read this carefully. By
signing the form, a person/guardian
assumes full risk for any injury or
loss sustained while participating in
a Park District sponsored program.
6. Fees cannot be prorated when registering for a class if the class has already started.
7. Payment must be received with your
registration. We cannot hold a space
if no payment is received. Full payment for each program is required
unless other arrangements have been
made in advance. Any outstanding
financial obligations due the Park
District for participation in past programs must be satisfied prior to registration in any current programs.
Please Mark Your Calendars…
with the starting dates of the programs for
which you have registered. You will be notified if for any reason we are unable to complete your registration. If you do not hear
from us, your registration has been processed.
All fees must be paid before attending a

INSURANCE LIABILITY WAIVER The Lake Bluff Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of the participants in
the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.
The Lake Bluff Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please recognize
that the Lake Bluff Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Lake
Bluff Park District automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the District REQUIRES the
execution of the Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed above, you will be waiving and releasing all
claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS As a participant (or as a parent/guardian of a participant under age 18) in the Lake Bluff Park District programs, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain
risks of physical injury and I agree to assume full risk of any injuries, including death, damages, or loss regardless of severity which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with
or associated with such program (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided). I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against the Park
District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees.
I do hereby fully release and discharge the Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damage, or loss which I may have or which may
accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims resulting from
injuries, including death, damages, and losses sustained by me or arising out of, connection with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program.
PERMISSION TO SECURE TREATMENT In the event of emergency, I authorize Park District officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed
necessary for my immediate care and I agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. I have read and fully understand the aforementioned Program Details, Waiver and Release of
All Claims and Permission to Secure Treatment. (Note: Please sign in an appropriate space below.)
I have carefully read the insurance liability waiver on this form and I understand that my signature is required below in order to participate in Lake Bluff Park District programs.
