DEERFIELD PARK DISTRICT BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Dear Neighbors, As the days grow shorter and the colors of fall begin to emerge, we are excited to welcome you to another season filled with recreation, community connections, and memorable experiences with the Deerfield Park District. This year, we’re proud to celebrate the Deerfield Park District’s 75th Anniversary. Join us for a special celebration and turn to page 3 to learn more about this milestone. From seasonal family traditions and youth programs to fitness opportunities and special events, there is something for everyone to enjoy this fall. This season offers a wide variety of ways to stay active and engaged. As cooler temperatures arrive, the Sachs Recreation Center remains the perfect destination for fitness, wellness, and recreation. Whether you’re looking to join a group exercise class, work with a personal trainer, swim laps, or take advantage of our expansive fitness floor, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to support your health and wellness goals. Our fall special events lineup is packed with exciting experiences for all ages. We close out summer with exciting events in late August, including Bark in the Park at Jaycee Dog Park, Rock the Night Concert at Patty Turner Center, and Yoga & Mimosa at Patty Turner Center. October brings many community favorites, including Spooky Ceramics at Jewett Park Community Center, Adult/Tot Luminaries: Pumpkin Edition, B-5 Family Bingo, Charming Charcuterie, Yoga & Puppies, RoboThink’s Demolition Bots Workshop, Halloween Hoopla Family Fun Fest at Sachs Recreation Center, Patty Turner Center’s Grand Oktoberfest celebration, Edible Haunted Houses, and Puzzling for Prizes. These annual traditions offer something for everyone to enjoy. As we move into November, we’re excited to offer a variety of unique programs and events, including Fruit Rocketships at Jewett Park Community Center, the Patty Turner Center’s annual Veterans Pancake Breakfast & Musical Salute, the K-Pop Star Dance Party, and the return of the Field of Honor tribute event. From 2 | DeerfieldParks.org
November 9–13, 2026, thousands of American flags will fill Jewett Park in a moving tribute to veterans, active military personnel, first responders, and other hometown heroes. Each sponsored flag honors an individual and their story, creating a meaningful experience for all who visit. Proceeds from the event benefit the Midwest Veterans’ Closet and Lake County Honor Flight. The holiday season arrives in December with festive programs and events for all ages, including our annual Noon Year’s Eve celebration at Sachs Recreation Center. It’s the perfect way for families to ring in the new year together with fun activities, entertainment, and plenty of excitement before the clock strikes noon. We invite you to explore this guide and discover all the opportunities waiting for you this season. Whether you’re participating in a favorite tradition, discovering a new hobby, celebrating our 75th Anniversary, or connecting with neighbors, we hope you’ll join us for a fall filled with recreation, wellness, and community spirit. Stay Safe & Well,

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN DEERFIELD! 2026 SOUTHEAST JEWETT PARK PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT As part of the District’s capital replacement program for playgrounds, the lower level playground located in the southeast area of Jewett Park near Jewett Park Community Center was identified for replacement, with project planning and community input taking place throughout the spring and summer of 2025.

Construction began in fall 2025, and the new playground officially opened to the public in May 2026 where it is already being enjoyed by families throughout the community. The playground was intentionally designed for all ages and including additional swings, synthetic turf surfacing and a unique treehouse and nature-themed design that compliments the park’s established oak trees. The new layout also incorporates an embankment slide connecting the upper and lower levels, along with improved accessibility features including an upper bridge, lower sidewalk connections and accessible synthetic turf surfacing throughout the site

REGISTRATION INFORMATION ONLINE REGISTRATION
You may register online for most activities. Web registration is quick and convenient. You can view real time availability and save time! First time registering online? Please scan or click for information on how to create a Household Account. Please note: some classes/camps have a numerical "grade" requirement. (Preschoolers are .25 and Kindergartners are .5.) If your child does not have a grade or has the incorrect grade listed in your household account, please contact the Registration Desk 847-945-0650 and they will be happy to make the correction/addition.
WAITING LISTS
If you select a class and it’s full, you will be put on a waiting list. We will notify you of all class placements, cancellations, and/or changes.
PRIORITY REGISTRATION FOR RESIDENTS
Scan to Register Online
Who is eligible? Any household with a valid email address is eligible to register online. For Deerfield Park District residents to receive resident rates, proof of residence is required. What programs are available? The majority of park district programs are available online, with a few exceptions. These are usually programs that require tryouts, prerequisites or prior instructor approval. Will I know right away if I get in? Yes. Online registration works in real time, so, as soon as you complete the payment process and get a confirmation email your enrollment is confirmed. If a class is full, you may join the wait list online.
PROGRAM CANCELLATION
PLEASE REGISTER EARLY. If enough participants are not registered, classes may be canceled. Those waiting until the last minute or for the first day of class may find it’s too late.
REGISTRATION FORMS
Registration forms can be downloaded from https://deerfieldparks. org/226/Forms. Forms are also available at any of our facilities.
People who live within the boundaries of the Deerfield Park District always have first priority in our registration process. However, having a Deerfield address does not always mean that you are a resident of our Park District. Program brochures are typically sent to the 60015 zip code, but this can include areas that are not part of the Deerfield Park District.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financial assistance may be available to assist Deerfield Park District residents who are experiencing difficulty paying program fees. For more information call 847-945-0650.
RESIDENT & SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT #109 AND #113 RATES Resident rates will apply to those who live within the park district boundaries. If a participant does not live within the park district boundaries but enrolls in a program that is held at a District 109 or 113 school and they reside in that school district, then they pay the resident rate, but cannot begin to register until the non-resident registration date.
PROOF OF RESIDENCY
To receive “Resident” rates and priority in registration, you are required to show proof of residency your first time enrolling for a Deerfield Park District program or activity. Once your household has done this you will not need to repeat the process. This procedure ensures district residents receive priority in enrolling for high-demand activities, and discounted prices. A Deerfield mailing address does not guarantee park district Resident status — this is based on property tax boundaries.
• Print legibly in ink.
REGISTRATION STEPS
Proof of Residency includes BOTH: • A current residential utility bill (gas, electric, or water, no phone bills are accepted) with your name stating your mailing address and service address as being the same.
• Read the registration form carefully and fill it out completely, including class names, activity code numbers and sections.
• A valid driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification containing your current address.
• Once a registration form is turned in, it cannot be changed.
Documentation may be: • Securely uploaded to the Registration website (after your online account has been activated).
• When registering, provide details about medical condition(s) that require staff attention. • If you fax in your form, please do not send a duplicate by mail. • Payment may be made by check or Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit cards. • Do not use cash if you drop off registrations in the drop-off box. • An adult participant, parent or guardian must sign the waiver on the bottom of the registration form. It is mutually understood that the fax registration document, including the waiver and release of all claims, shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as the original form.

• Dropped off at the registration office at Jewett Park Community Center, Patty Turner Center, Sachs Recreation Center or Deerfield Golf Club & Learning Center • Faxed to 847-945-0699
IMPROPER REGISTRATION
Those who register for our programs and improperly use a Deerfield address are removed from the class and no refund or transfer fee is provided. Non-residents pay a higher fee per program. Non-resident fees are shown second in program descriptions. Note: Non-residents are not eligible for resident fees even if their caretaker, provider or relative resides in Deerfield.
Deerfield Park District | Fall 2026
REGISTRATION INFORMATION CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCHOLARSHIPS
Voluntary contributions to the Deerfield Park Foundation for our Scholarship Fund can be made on the registration form. The fund is used for people who are in serious financial need, to participate in park district programs. The Board of Park Commissioners has a policy that no person will be denied access to recreation programs or facilities because of an inability to pay fees. Please know that the program is strictly confidential and is closely monitored by the Director of Recreation. We appreciate your support.
REFUNDS FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS
• A refund may be obtained seven business days prior to the first day of a program. A 10% service charge ($10 minimum) will be deducted from the amount paid for the program. If the refund is requested less than seven business days prior to the class start date it can only be credited to the household account less the 10% service charge ($10 minimum). • Refunds/credits requested on or after the program start date will not be honored. • Refunds/credits will not be issued for one day programs, workshops, special events, school’s out trips or theater tickets. • If a program is rescheduled, relocated, or changed by the park district, a full refund will be issued if requested by the participant. • Refunds will be issued if a program is canceled or closed by the park district.

GENERAL INFORMATION
John Blumberg Park
PARK DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY
The Park Board recognizes the need to provide and maintain sufficient and attractive parks, open space, recreation facilities and programs to serve equitably, and without prejudice, all the people of the Park District in the provision of leisure time activities. Every opportunity shall be afforded, within financial limits, to plan, procure, develop and maintain park and recreation resources, and to provide leadership for the wholesome and constructive use of leisure time. The provisions of quality recreational services in the most efficient manner, at the least possible cost, and without significantly duplicating the efforts of other agencies, will be emphasized at all times. This includes the development of cooperative agreements with other agencies directly and indirectly involved with leisure services in the District. The provision of recreation, park and conservation services must be considered as a positive opportunity for people of the District to share with each other, to develop leadership capacities, to learn skills for present and future enjoyment, and to emphasize responsibilities to each other as well as to the community.
KEEP OUR PARKS BEAUTIFUL
To provide safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing parks, we engage in the limited use of lawn care products as part of an integrated pest management program. A one-time annual application of herbicide to park and school sites is usually completed between Aug. 15 – Nov. 1 of each year. We publicize the date of the application and inform the appropriate school sites and residents who have asked to be advised of this process.
74 | DeerfieldParks.org
PARTICIPANT CONDUCT
The following conduct code rules apply to both participants and guardians/caregivers of those children. The Deerfield Park District reserves the right to suspend, expel or deny participation in any program or facility to any person whose behavior materially interferes or disrupts the quality of those offerings, the enjoyment of them by other participants or the ability of staff to conduct or manage the activities or facilities. A child’s parent or guardian will be notified of the first incident; the second incident shall require the presence of a parent at a meeting with the instructor and a Park District administrator/supervisor; a third incident may result in the expulsion or suspension of the child from the program, event or facility. If a child engages in behavior(s) which may result in bodily harm to others, an immediate meeting with the parent may be called. If such behavior warrants it, immediate suspension or expulsion may result. Temporary suspension from participation due to misconduct will not entitle participant to a refund. An adult shall receive one verbal or written warning. The second incident may result in suspension from the program, event or facility. If an adult physically strikes a person or object or throws an object at another person, or takes any other action that may pose a real threat of bodily harm to others, or is verbally abusive to others, s/he may immediately be suspended or expelled from the program or facility.
PHOTO PERMISSION
Our staff or designees often take pictures or video at programs and events. Photographers from print or other media outlets may also take pictures or video on occasion. We welcome the coverage and hope you do too; it is frequently how the public learns what is happening at the Park District. If you prefer your family members’ pictures not be taken, please notify us in writing. NOTE: If you do see a photo posted to our websites or social media pages of you or your family member that you would like removed, please email marketing@deerfieldparks.org.
Deerfield Park District | Fall 2026
GENERAL INFORMATION INSURANCE
Deerfield Park District cannot assume responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs, activities, parks and facilities within our jurisdiction. To do so would make our program and user fees prohibitive. Certain activities, facilities and equipment may, when used improperly, cause harm or personal injury. We make every effort to notify you of potentially dangerous situations and to provide rules for the proper use of equipment and facilities. You can avoid injury by following the rules, using good sense and being considerate of both Park District property and others using it.
EMERGENCY CLOSING
There may be times when weather, road conditions or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled, or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. The park district will communicate to patrons via the park district website deerfieldparks.org. Whenever School District 109 cancels school due to snow related weather conditions, all Deerfield Park District Preschool classes and all programs held at school sites will also be canceled. Closing other park district facilities or canceling classes will be made on a case by case basis.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES, FOOD ALLERGIES, MEDICATION, ILLNESS
Infectious Diseases: To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, such as strep, pink eye and fifth’s disease, parents should report any diagnosed cases to the Park District office. If exposure to other participants occurred, a notification is sent home. Food Allergies: Many of our preschool, as well as cooking and other classes, will serve food; therefore, it is imperative that you notify the full-time Recreation Supervisor of any food allergies or dietary restrictions your child may have. Medication: If your child requires medication (inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) during class, medication administration forms must be completed. Please call our registration office (847-945-0650) for details. Illness: Please do not attend class nor send children who are ill to class.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
Please respect the rights and property of neighbors of our parks. Use public sidewalks/pathways. Drive carefully in lots, driveways and nearby streets. Trees, bushes, fences, etc., should not be used as bathrooms. Keep your dog on a leash, remain on public property, clean up pet waste, and place trash in park receptacles. To report vandalism, call the Deerfield Police Non-emergency line, 847-945-8636.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Our Park District and other public agencies are subject to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination in the services, programs or facilities provided to individuals with disabilities. If you believe that, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, special assistance may be required when participating in a program, using a facility or receiving a service, please call Dana Bundy, JPCC Manager at 847-572-2624.
THORGUARD
ThorGuard Lightning Prediction Systems are installed at all parks, pools and schools in Deerfield, from April through November. Horns are tested the first Tuesday of each of these months, at 10 AM. Should you hear the horn or see the strobe light at other times—or any time lightning seems possible—be sure to seek shelter. The system is meant to warn the public that conditions are right for possible lightning danger. This system is not 100 percent accurate, as it operates on radio waves which are variable. As not every unit will go off simultaneously, the public is asked to please use common sense when conditions appear threatening, even if ThorGuard warnings are not heard or seen. Follow these warnings for safety: • One prolonged horn blast signifies a strong lightning risk. • The strobe light signals a continuing lightning alert condition. • Three short horn blasts (and ceasing of strobe light illumination) signal it may be safe to return to the area, but use discretion.
