MESSaGE FrOM THE EXECUTIVE DIrECTOr A lot has been happening at the Pekin Park District since my message in the Fall-Winter 2019-20 Play Guide. Bids for the replacement of DragonLand Water Park’s mechanical system were approved at a lower than anticipated cost of $440,000. Replacement of the old mechanical system will begin shortly and is planned to be completed by early May. The waterslides are also being recoated and recolored. Stop by the Recreation office in Veterans Memorial Arena to get your season pass available at a reduced rate through May 1 or your punch cards which are also available at a reduced rate. The Park District received a $400,000 Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for improvements to Mineral Springs Park. These improvements include sections of the walk around the Lagoon, the concrete/brick paver patio area on the south side of the Pavilion, repairing and refinishing the fishing piers and patio deck on the Lagoon, adding tables with umbrellas to the patio deck, replacing the boat dock, replacing the playground equipment, replacing the restrooms along Royal Avenue, constructing a walk connecting the playground to the restrooms, renovating the tennis courts along Coal Car and Recreation Drives, and installing new equipment and ramps (phase one) at the skate park. The Park District will hold several public meetings to garner input from the community regarding the playground and skate park. The Park District has two years to complete the project. The total cost of the project is $1,305,200. The Park District’s match is $723,500. Other funds included in the remaining match will come from PCHS District 303 for the tennis court renovation as part of our intergovernmental agreement, and funds from a playground manufacturer’s matching grant program for the replacement of the playground equipment. It has been years since the Park District applied for and received an OSLAD grant, and we are looking forward to getting this project underway as these improvements are truly needed. At Parkside Fitness (note the new name), the tennis courts had a major overhaul during the first part of the winter season. Due to some flooding in December 2018 and again in May 2019, it was discovered that mold was starting to appear. Grading and drainage work was done outside on the north side of the building to prevent future flooding. The old tennis court surfacing was removed, the mold was remediated, along with some asbestos in the mastic being abated, and the new tennis court surface was installed. The courts were re- opened in mid-December. The total cost of the project came to around $330,000. All of these improvements are being paid through the issuance of a debt certificate, and restructure of bond reissuance and extending our debt service. Except for the minimal annual tax increase we are allowed by statute being a tax-capped community, the debt certificate and bond reissuances/extension of debt service will not result in additional increases to your taxes. Parkside Fitness also has installed some new cardio equipment, new spin bikes, Les Mills Virtual and On Demand classes in addition to our class line-up, and new equipment/changes will also be installed/occurring in the free-weight room areas thanks to a loan from the Pekin Park Foundation. An annual fee has been incorporated into our memberships to be utilized strictly for new equipment and building improvements over time. Though a Parkside Fitness membership is more than our competitors, what we have to offer overall is much more than our competitors, too. We offer a wide variety of exercise classes and programs, babysitting services for your children while you work out, racquetball and wallyball, tennis and pickleball courts, locker rooms with showers and saunas, and personal trainers that offer an array of options to fit your needs. If you are not a member, come out and check us out. We have a seven-day VIP Pass where you can use the facility for free to see what we have to offer, and we also have a reduced rate three-month summer special from May 1st to July 31st For those who skate at Veterans Memorial Arena, you probably noticed a lot of condensation and fog this year. This was mainly due to our dehumidifier system going down and the mild winter did not help the situation. We are in the process of working with an engineer consultant putting together drawings and specifications to go to bid for a new, state of the art dehumidification and ventilation system to be installed this summer. Improving the insulation and cleaning up the facility will also be part of the project. Lastly, the Park District has also rebranded itself. Our main Park District logo was revamped to be more current to today’s way of marketing and design. The iconic Pavilion is still part of the logo but more streamlined and designed in a way that we could incorporate our other facilities into the logo system. In the past, all our facilities had their own logos but without indication they were a facility of the Park District. With the new logo system in place, we are now a cohesive brand. Respectfully, Cameron Bettin Executive Director, Pekin Park District 5

The Pekin Park Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit charitable organization. Its mission is to provide a means by which park supporters can help improve and beautify our parks and expand participation in activities and programs through a well-funded Gift Program and long- term sustaining Endowment Program. By having this funding mechanism in place to meet future needs and enhancements, the park will continue to serve as the cherished community icon that it has become. It also provides a means to leave a lasting legacy to be enjoyed by future generations of park users. Endowment gifts earn interest and dividends and can provide for maintenance, scholarships, enhancements and improvements. The Gift Catalog provides items that one may purchase as recognition or memorials and includes park benches, picnic tables or planted trees. Past projects include funding for the James Field Improvements Project, coordination of funding for the Pergola Project, and many trees planted throughout our park system. TREE DONOR PROGRAM The Pekin Park Foundation Tree Donor Program provides opportunities for meaningful tributes to family and friends, in honor of the birth of a child, special birthday, wedding, anniversary, various other special occasions, or a memorial to honor the memory of a loved one. Tree plantings are needed in many park locations including McNaughton Park, Lick Creek and Parkview Golf Courses, Pekin Park District Sports Complex and many other parks. The Superintendent of Parks will work with donors to select the best area suited for the type of tree planting desired. Plantings are done in the spring and fall. Tree cost is $300 or more depending on the size and type of tree chosen. Donors will receive a Commemorative Certificate and a document including a picture of the tree and an aerial map with precise GPS coordinates. Donated tree info is included in the Pekin Park Foundation Tree Donor Record Book as well as the Pekin Park Foundation website. Donations may remain anonymous if desired. Gifts are tax deductible and provide the community with a piece of nature that will benefit the area for years to come. For additional information, contact Cameron Bettin at (309) 353-4328 or [email protected] Potential donors may go to pekinparkfoundation.org to view the gift catalog and complete an inquiry form.

As the weather warms up, the countdown to pool season begins. Thankfully, kids (and parents) can let out a cheer because the water slides are back and better than ever with the $465,000 DragonLand Water Park renovation! “Our slides are getting completely resurfaced, recoated and recolored,” shares Shawn Powers, Pekin Park District Superintendent of Recreation. “They are going to come back like brand new. We also replaced the roof and are getting new heaters, a new filtration system, and all new pumps with variable speeds for the whole system. The cool thing about this is that the new system takes up a quarter of the footprint and will save thousands of gallons of water, hundreds of gallons of chemicals, and thousands of dollars in the energy to heat and filtrate the water. It’s definitely a nice upgrade from the original 1992 system.” KIDS AND UP: THE BEST WAY TO PLAY IN THE SUN DragonLand has a little something for everyone. Located on three-plus acres in Mineral Springs Park, younger kids enjoy the zero-depth play area, “Dude” the dragon slide, mushroom waterfall geyers and sand beach play area. Older kids love zipping down two water slides, playing in the heated pools and competing on the sand beach volleyball court. And parents will enjoy the full concession stand and extended deck with hundreds of lounge chairs to relax in. It’s even fully handicap- accessible, making it a fun day out for everyone! “The sand beach play area is really geared towards the younger kids, but every now and then, you’ll see some 12 and 13-year-olds building a massive sand castle,” continues Shawn. “We do have sand toys and castle- building tools, but families are welcome to bring their own.” AWARD-WINNING LIFEGUARD STAFF DragonLand also has an award-winning lifeguard staff that is expertly trained to make sure your visit is a safe one. “We have eleven on-duty lifeguards and seven lifeguards watching the pool at any given time,” shares Shawn. “Our lifeguards work very hard. Just to become a lifeguard they have to go through 24 hours of instruction and training, then they have to maintain four hours a month of extra training. We do more than that. We usually do about four hours a week with them to keep them sharp.” You may have noticed when you’re there on a hot summer day, DragonLand lifeguards change stations every 30 minutes. They are also never scanning the pool for more than an hour and a half at a time to keep them alert on the water. But it’s important for parents to note that if lifeguards are stepping in, it’s because your child is in danger. Parents are asked to help keep an eye on their children while in the park. NEW 2020 SWIM LESSON PROGRAM “We also have a new swim program starting up this year,” shares Shawn. “Jeff Ellis Swimming, the same company that certifies our lifeguards, will be certifying our swim instructors. We’re offering both morning and evening classes again and I think this program will be easier for parents and kids to know how they should progress.” Bottomline, DragonLand is a great place to spend your summer. So, grab your sunblock. Come out and have some fun! And if you need swim lessons, check out the swim schedule and class descriptions to see where your child fits best. There’s something for every level – infants to adults! DRAGONLAND WATER PARK: BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER 9

SOLDWEDEL ADVENTURES IN NATURE: GET READY TO MEET YOUR SUMMER CAMP SQUADS! Looking for a summer camp experience without the overnight stay? Soldwedel Adventures in Nature is a kids’ dream come true with 14-acres of outdoor adventures and hundreds of opportunities to make lasting memories. Located right next to McNaughten Park, Soldwedel Program Center is the perfect setting for kids ages 9 to 13 to experience the world around them in a whole different way… and make some friends doing it! ACTION AND ADVENTURE RIGHT FROM THE START “We start our mornings with breakfast (which is included in the daily fee), and then we launch right into a large group activity based around sports, crafts, STEM activities and more,” shares Andrew Richey, Soldwedel Program Coordinator. “We want kids to love coming to camp. They’re learning, but they’re having fun. They’re active, but being creative. And they’re making friends and memories while they do it! We’ll go fishing, hiking, and do activities that kids never have been able to do before. Because that’s what camp is all about!” As its name hints, almost all “Adventures in Nature” activities are done outdoors. Yep, they’ll even play in the rain if there’s no thunder and lightning. From taking hikes up to the creek, going fishing, running through a messy obstacle course, building forts, and playing capture the flag in an open clearing deep in the woods… exploring the outdoors, exposing your child to new ideas, and having a blast is what it’s all about. That’s why bringing a change of clothes is a must – muddy puddles, Slip ’n Slides, water baseball and messy adventures can and do happen! CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE [SQUAD] “After lunch (which kids need to bring their own), it’s all about squads,” continues Andrew. “They can choose from our Active Squad which usually plays a sport, Creative Squad which focuses on arts and crafts, and our Fun Squad which focuses on fun, one-off random adventures like hiking to the creek, building something, running through the Team Building Course and more. You can stick with the same squad every day, or switch it up and try something new, which is what a lot of our kids do.” SUMMER DAYS ARE FILLED WITH FIELD TRIPS – 3 TIMES A WEEK! “Every Tuesday and Thursday, we will go to Dragonland, plus we’ll have a field trip day planned – and it’s all included in the cost of the camp,” continues Andrew. “We’ll also take a charter bus down to St. Louis for the day, where we’ll go to the Zoo and City Museum. We do ask parents to help cost-share this trip, but it’s always a big highlight of the summer!” NEW THIS YEAR: STEAM PROGRAMMING This year, “Adventures in Nature” is also adding STEM/ STEAM activities to their curriculum. “We’re really excited about it,” shares Andrew. “As we were building the program, we realized we were already doing some of these activities, but we’re giving it a little more structure and building out some exciting themes that support these activities.” ADVENTURE DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR In addition to a great summer camp, Soldewedel Nature Center also runs Schools Out Adventures throughout the school year. This includes an entire week of activities and field trips during various holiday breaks from school! “We still do crafts. We still explore outside. We still get messy,” shares Andrew. “The difference between our summer camp and our Schools Out Adventures is that we go on field trips every day that they are out of school during the year. But with both camps, at the end of the day, they leave exhausted and ready to come back again for more.” KIDS CAMPS All activity dates, times, and offerings are subject to change in response to COVID-19.
