Our
Mission
The mission of the
Champaign Park District
is to provide quality
parks and recreation
for all ages in our
community.

The Champaign Park District is a special district of local government with its own
financial and legal responsibilities. It is governed by five elected residents of
Champaign who give their services to the community. The Park Board holds its
regular meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm at the Bresnan
Meeting Center, 706 Kenwood Road. Residents are invited to attend and are welcome
to make suggestions or comments to improve the programs or facilities offered.
The Champaign Park District’s 63 parks total over 670 acres. Thirteen facilities are
available for a wide variety of recreational opportunities.
As we continue to celebrate 100 years
of parks in Champaign, we are proud
to bring you another award winning
season with new meaning to our
Decade of Excellence –Strategic Plan
2005-2015. What the District began
6 years ago with facility replacement
will continue as your Park District
builds a new Leonhard Community
Center Centennial Park funded in part
with a $2.5 million Park and Recre-
ation Construction Facility Grant.
The Virginia Theatre, a recipient of a
new Public Museum Grant and a lot
of local and legislative support will
enter its final stages of renovation including the renovation of the auditorium, upstairs
restrooms, the addition of an elevator for accessibility and stage improvements begin-
ning in May. The price tag is huge to restore this historic landmark and donations are
continually welcome through our 501c (3) Champaign Parks Foundation.
A new park called Sunset Ridge Park complete with tennis, basketball, paths and play-
ground and a new playground at Garden Hills Park are now open for your enjoyment.
And when the Sholem Aquatic Center was first built six years ago, the District planned
for future improvements by having plumbing in place to add a second slide and water
walk. A brand new, first of its kind translucent slide has been added at Sholem and the
water walk is under construction for an exciting new summer season.
At the same time, the 40 plus year old Spalding Pool will not reopen as it has outlived
its usefulness and repair costs are more than new construction. An interlocal agree-
ment with Unit #4 School District will allow us to hold seasonal swim lessons and day
camp programs at Centennial High School Pool while we plan for future aquatic needs.
On the following pages you will find exciting new opportunities for fitness, camps,
sports and cultural opportunities that we hope you will enjoy.
Hope to see you in our parks this summer!

Payment Information
Although the cost of attending any Cham-

understand that it may be difficult to pay all
costs up front. Because of this, we require at
least a $10 non-refundable deposit per child
per session to hold a spot. The remainder
will be due two weeks before camp begins.
Day Camp Cancellation/Refund Policy:
A chance to cancel from an all day camp
without paying more than the required
deposit will only be given through five (5)
business days before the start of the ses-
sion. After that, the full fee will be charged
to the participant and the spot in the class
will be opened to those on the waiting list.

Champaign United
Fast Pitch Teams
Ages 10-15
• Select programs such as Champaign United Fast Pitch are by
invitation only.
Last year was the inaugural season for the Park District Champaign
United Fast Pitch team. Based upon input from coaches the Park
District chose twelve 15&U players from within our leagues. Those
players continued to play for their respective Park District teams.
They also trained separately as a select squad. The team was
coached by Jenna Harshbarger (pitcher, St. Ambrose University) and
Tess Strang (starting second base, Milliken University). At the end of
the season they played in a tournament in Decatur.
The idea behind select squads is to provide a more competitive
environment with higher level coaching for advanced players. This
year we will be developing both a 15&U and 12&U squad. All select
programs are by tryout or invitation only. At the end of the season
Champaign United Fast Pitch teams will participate in East Peoria at
the NSA Class “C” Rec All-Star Tournament. Tournament will require
travel and may require hotel stay—travel and hotel not included in

CCLC Boys Lacrosse Camp
Ages 8-18
LAX is action-packed, exciting and addictive and here’s
your chance to take your shot with one of the hottest
growing sports in the country. The Champaign Park
District is partnering with the Champaign County
Lacrosse Club to provide kids the chance to learn this
game. This is a non-contact camp. Players walk away
with the fundamentals of throwing/passing, catching,
cradling, and shooting. They will learn all four positions:
attack, midfield, defense and goalie. They will gain
an understanding of the rules of the game and basic
tactics.
Camp equipment includes stick, gloves, helmets, and
mouth guard. CCLC will provide the sticks, gloves and
helmets. Participant MUST provide their own mouth
guard. Tennis shoes are okay; cleats are recommended.
Participants will not wear the arm pads and shoulder
pads during the camp but will get a chance to try some
on. Players will get a stick, ball and reversible LAX prac-
tice pinney to take home. The cost of the boys camp is
different than the girls camp because of the need for
additional equipment.
Daniel Dudley will run the camp. Dan is one of the driv-
ing forces behind lacrosse in Central Illinois. After a four
year career at Centennial that included being selected
for the IHSA All Star game, Dan went on to build the
Centennial Club program and become President of
the Eastern Illinois Lacrosse team. Dan is the All-Time
leading scorer at EIU. He is currently the Director of
Coaching for CCLC.

An Opportunity To Leave a Legacy

During their February Regular Board meeting,
the Champaign Park District Board of
Commissioners approved completing the
Virginia Theatre restoration as one large
project, closing down in mid May of 2012 and
reopening in April of 2013 only long enough
to accommodate the annual Roger Ebert Film
Festival. This will become the largest project yet
on the theatre since the Park District took over
ownership in 2000 and will finally complete the
restoration of this grand facility.

Total costs for the renovation are estimated to be Arthur J. Thoma

ever. Funds have been allocated, but every dollar Robert F. Toalson (Honorary)
collected in donations means one less dollar of Gary G. Wackerlin, Treasurer

Zumba Toning®
When it comes to body sculpting, Zumba Toning raises the bar (or
rather, the toning stick). It combines targeted body-sculpting exer-
cises and high-energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba moves
to create a calorie-torching, strength-training dance fitness-party.
Students learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like Toning Sticks to
enhance rhythm and tone all their target zones, including arms, abs,
glutes and thighs. Zumba Toning is the perfect way for enthusiasts to
sculpt their bodies naturally while having a total blast.

The Dance Arts School
The Dance Arts School teaches classes in Creative
Movement, Irish Dance and Ballet. The ballet school
is certified by the Royal Academy of Dance based in
London, England, and is the only certified ballet train-
ing school in the state of Illinois. We train our students
using the internationally acclaimed Royal Academy of
Dance syllabus, a worldwide ballet training program
focused on teaching classical ballet techniques in a
manner that is safe for our dancers’ growing bodies.
In 2003, Dance Arts added Irish Dance to its curriculum.
Students are taught a warm up, proper Irish Dance tech-
nique, and a cool down that is safe for each age and
ability level.

Our Faculty
The ballet faculty members have each received profes-
sional training and collectively represent a wide spectrum
of performance and educational backgrounds. Our Irish
Dance instructors are championship-level dancers from the
Sullivan School of Irish Dance, Mayer School of Irish Dance,
and Trinity Academy of Irish Dance in Chicago. The ballet
accompanists are professionally trained pianists with spe-
cialties in performance, theory, composition, and more. The
expertise of both the instructors and accompanists greatly
enhances the quality of the school.

Flower Islands
The Flower Island program is a cooperative beautification effort
between local businesses and the Park District. This unique program
allows businesses to have a personal flower bed near their site and
to assist with the sponsorship of beds on public property (e.g. parks,
schools, library, right-of-ways, etc.)
Each year the local business pays a fee to the Park District. Half this
amount contributes to the cost of their bed(s) and the remainder is
used for the Flower Islands on public property. Hence, they enhance the
beauty of the community twice. Services included for the annual fee are
design, bed preparation, planting, maintenance, and fall removal.
Enrollment: September – November
Questions: Greg Sancken, 398-2591

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Weather Cancellations
Programs may be cancelled due to inclement weather or unusable

representative will remain on-site until the next scheduled event to
inform participants of the cancellation.
Equal Opportunity Programs
It is the policy of the Champaign Park District to provide that no

How to Register

or online at www.champaignparkdistrict.com. Champaign & Urbana
Park District residents may begin registering immediately.
Non-resident registration begins Monday, March 26, 2012.

If you have not already done so, we encourage residents to get a

•  Driver’s license

Fees: Resident/Non-Resident (R/NR)
Residents living within the boundaries of the park district regularly
support park facilities and programs through property taxes. People
living within the Champaign and Urbana Park District boundaries pay
the “resident (R)” fee. Persons residing outside these districts will pay
50% more than the resident rates – “non-resident (NR)”. Fees charged
for programs are used to offset part of the costs for special instructors,
facility costs, and program supplies.
Fees: Non-Resident Option
Program participants living outside the boundaries of the Cham-
paign and Urbana Park Districts have an option of paying 50% more
than the resident rates for each program registration or paying a
yearly fee and the resident fee for each program.
The yearly fee is computed on the assessed valuation of the non-
resident’s home. The yearly fee is this valuation multiplied by the
current tax rate of the Champaign Park District. The term of the
payment coverage is from May 1 to April 30 of the following year.
A person wishing to pay the yearly fee should bring a copy of the
most recent tax bill to the Bresnan Meeting Center for computation
of the fee. To receive the same privilege, non-resident renters may
pay a flat fee of $50.
The non-resident annual fee option is not available to persons resid-
ing adjacent to the Park District boundaries. They, however, have the
option of annexing their property into the Champaign Park District.
Dishonored Checks
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned by
the bank for any reason.
Deadlines
Program registration deadlines are established to give participants
a date by which they should be registered. If enrollment is almost
high enough to conduct a class, the registration deadline may be
extended. If you missed the deadline, call 398-2550 to get informa-
tion on possible deadline extensions.
Program Waiting Lists
Programs may fill. If this is the case, please ask to be placed on a
waiting list.

Program Cancellations/Refunds
Day Camps: A chance to cancel from an all-day camp without paying
more than the required deposit will only be given through five (5) busi-
ness days before the start of the session. After that, the full fee will be
charged to the participant and the spot in the class will be opened to
those on the waiting list.
Preschool Programs with Monthly Billing: Two weeks notice in writ-
ing is required, or guardians are responsible for payment for the fol-
lowing month. More information is given in the Preschool Handbook.
All Other Programs: Refunds will be given only through the second
meeting of any program, unless otherwise noted above. There will be

Exceptions: If the District cancels a program due to minimum registra-
tion not being met, full refunds will be given. Pro-rated amounts will
be refunded to participants if a class is cancelled by the District after
it has begun. If a participant experiences a medical problem which
prohibits program participation, the refund will be a prorated amount
based on the number of sessions remaining in the program.
Program Scholarships
Because some residents are unable to participate in recreation pro-
grams due to economic hardship, the Champaign Park District offers
scholarships to reduce certain fees and charges.
Scholarship applicants are not guaranteed fund availability, program
registration, or choice of program location. Early applications are given
priority. Scholarship application forms are available online or at the
Bresnan Meeting Center and will be mailed to residents upon request.
All requests will remain confidential. Need is the primary criterion upon
which scholarship applicants are considered.
Child Care Resource Service (CCRS)
CCRS helps income-eligible parents who are working and/or going
to school to pay for their child care. Based on parents’ family size and
income, working families whose incomes are at or below 50% of the
state median income level may be eligible to apply. Processing can
take up to 10 business days. Please pick up an application from CCRS.
CCRS approved families may register for summer camps by paying a $10
deposit per child/per session of camp. These deposits may be refunded
at the end of the summer once all CCRS checks are received and there
is a credit balance. If money is still owed on your account once CCRS
checks have been applied, you will be responsible for the rest of the
bill. Because the Park District does not receive payment from CCRS
until one month after the service was provided, your deposit could be
refunded as late as October.

I do hereby fully release and forever discharge Champaign Park District, Champaign and Urbana Special Recreation, Urbana Park District, and the
Village of Savoy 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
