STATE OF THE PARK DISTRICT - UPDATES RELATED TO COVID-19
MOVING FROM COVID-19 RESPONSE TO RECOVERY, AND RETURNING TO FUN!
Summer is just around the corner and normally the Park District is bustling with activities including day camps, swimming, softball leagues, and outdoor special events. Normally, our parks are filled with kids at the playgrounds and friendly games of tennis, pickleball, and basketball. We are hoping to get back to this soon!
The Park District is closely following recommendations from the Governor’s office, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) as it pertains to public parks and recreation activities and facilities. We are awaiting further direction from these agencies in order to make appropriate decisions on which activities we will be able to offer this summer.
SUMMER PROGRAM GUIDE
Our brochure was posted online prior to the Governor’s Stay at Home Order being extended until May 30. Unfortunately, all of our special events have been cancelled through July and programs have been cancelled through June as well. Anyone who enrolled in June programs in the Spring Guide will be credited/refunded accordingly. Resident registration for our summer programs begins on May 19 at 10am for July and August, but we are not collecting payment at this time. You may register online at www.ahpd.org. We also encourage residents to visit our website frequently for current updates.
The Summer 2020 Program Guide is being updated and will be reposted on the website by May 15. We will be running a waitlist only sign-up for activities that are scheduled to start in July. Programs that we will run virtually in June will also be marked accordingly. In the meantime, please check out our Virtual Program Guide for May. Once the Governor’s Stay at Home order is lifted and new guidelines are released by officials for public gatherings, our staff will be able to modify our programs accordingly.

UPDATE ON CAMPS
While we continue to plan for Day Camps, we cannot say with 100% certainty that they will be available this summer, and it is likely that the start date for camps will be delayed. Staff is planning for a variety of scenarios, including regular camp operations, camp with social distancing, and potential virtual options. Staff will continue to monitor daily updates from health officials as we develop program plans.
While we remain hopeful that we will be able to offer in-person camps at some point this summer, we recommend that you make alternate arrangements in the event that we are not permitted to safely offer these services. If camp is not able to run, refunds and/or household credits will be provided. The same is true if you withdraw from camp a week prior to camp starting. We will keep you updated on the status of Summer Day Camp and any new developments. Unfortunately, we are in an unprecedented time right now and are making arrangements for any number of scenarios.
The park district is monitoring updates from the Governor and health officials just like everybody else.

Please call 847-577-3030 or check back on our website for the latest updates.
PROGRAM/MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
All programs, events and rentals previously scheduled in April and May will be cancelled. Our first option is to give all customers a credit to their account.

Click to see fillable form.
Facility memberships have been frozen and once a return date is determined we will communicate the activation plan.
SUMMER PROGRAM GUIDE AND SUMMER REGISTRATION UPDATES
The Park District has decided to forgo the printing of the Summer 2020 Program Guide. We will continue to update the online guide as new information becomes available that will impact our summer programming.
LAKE ARLINGTON, SUNSET MEADOWS AND PARKS UPDATE
Effective April 2, 2020, to further support the Governor’s initiative to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Park District has decided to fully close the Sunset Meadows and Lake Arlington Park properties and all park amenities, including the paths, on those properties. Additionally, all Park District playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts and hard play surfaces are closed until further notice. This is not a decision the District took lightly, as seeing people enjoy our parks and facilities is our passion. However, we are all in this together. The sooner everyone does their part to get through this pandemic, the sooner we can all get back to the things we love and enjoy. With the exception of the amenities previously listed all other neighborhood parks and open spaces remain open for walking, hiking, biking, and running as long as park users comply with social distancing requirements.

SUMMER PROGRAM GUIDE AND SUMMER REGISTRATION UPDATES
The Park District has decided to forgo the printing of the Summer 2020 Program Guide which was scheduled to be delivered to homes via doorstep delivery on April 18 due to the uncertainties with the pandemic. Instead, residents can expect to receive a direct mailing to their mailboxes informing them when a digital program guide is available for viewing on our website. This mailing should arrive in early May describing the registration time, date and process.
Summer 2020 registration will therefore change, accordingly, to May 19 for Residents and May 26 for Non-residents. Summer programming is currently scheduled to start June 1, but is subject to change. As we are operating during very fluid conditions, we will communicate any other registration and program changes as needed via our website, emails to participants, and social media channels.
The Park District will continue to monitor information from local, state and national authorities to determine next steps if we need to extend our closure beyond April 30.
We also encourage everyone to follow us on our social media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR COMMUNITY
Hello, this is Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes.
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis, our Governor has issued a Stay-at-Home Order to help protect our community and all communities in the State of Illinois. It is critical that we all do our part to minimize the spread of the virus by taking this Order seriously.
Under the Governor’s Order, you can still leave your home to get groceries, medicine, and to get fresh air or exercise, but please maintain a 6 foot distance from others outside of your household. The Arlington Heights Park District has closed our local playgrounds and taken other measures to prevent large gatherings, but the parks do remain open. With our students home from school and spring weather approaching, we need the support of parents to ensure your children are following social distancing guidelines. In particular, we need everyone to remember the importance of not gathering in large groups whether in a park, anywhere outside, or in any place indoors. Staying 6 feet apart from others is critical to preventing the spread of the Coronavirus.
With respect to other measures, our Police Department is responding to complaints regarding residents who may be violating the Stay-at-Home Order in public areas. Officers on patrol are also on the lookout to ensure that people practice social distancing. Please call 911 to report a problem, and do your part in being an example for others.
Making sacrifices today will help us stay healthy and return to normal as soon as we are able. On behalf of the Arlington Heights’ Village Board and staff, thank you for everything you are doing to keep yourselves, your families, and our community safe. We will get through this if everyone works together for the benefit of all.
Posted at 8:45pm Friday, March 20

It is our hope that this drastic measure will help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 spreading throughout our community.
We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation carefully and the Park District is committed to following the state’s updated policy on social gatherings to help slow the spread of the virus.
In a time like this, it is important to get out and get fresh air. Our parks will remain open to take walks per the stay-at-home order issued Friday, March 20, 2020. If you choose to enjoy our parks, the Park District reminds you to follow CDC guidelines which call for social distancing.
In the meantime, please follow us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and visit our website for a variety of Do-It-Yourself at home activities to keep having fun and to stay fit.
