Reaching Your Goals
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 Districts 58 parks total over 576 acres. Thirteen facilities are available for a wide variety of recreational opportunities.
The Champaign Park District listened to your responses from the last citizen survey and put your preferences into action with an exciting building program, new trails and natural areas, and fantastic new creative programming.
The mission of the Champaign Park District is to provide quality parks and recreation for all ages in our community.
The Virginia Theatre auditorium restoration will be complete this spring bringing the Theatre to her original glory. Original 1921 ceiling murals were discovered and are being restored along with 24k gold plate and aluminum plate and the Theatre will put its best foot forward in April welcoming film critic Roger Ebert back into the fold. A combination of grants, donations and museum tax dollars has made this outstanding project possible. Additionally, the Park District received a $2.5 million Park and Recreation Construction Facilities grant to replace the Leonhard Recreation Center and the 35,000 square foot facility will be under construction this spring while our newest park Sunset Ridge Park is completed with a walking path, skate area and sledding hill. And while the weather still keeps you indoors, please note the new innovative programming for schools out days, aerobics, dance, and tennis, as well as our sports leagues to keep the entire family active and fit for the new year.

NEW!
Formerly Race the Greenspace (RTG), The Amazing Bike Race is an adventure race that leads teams on an 8-10 mile course through and around Champaign Park District parks and facilities. Think of it as the Park Districts version of the Amazing Race on bikes! In The Amazing Bike Race, teams of 2-4 people solve clues which then lead them to checkpoints where theyll face mental or physical challenges. As you work to solve clues, you may use smartphones or call smart friends, but its up to you to figure out the best way to get to the next checkpoint. All members of your team must be assembled before you begin any physical or mental challenge. To navigate between the checkpoints, you must bicycle (helmets required). No forms of transportation other than bicycles will be allowed this includes automobiles, taxis, motorcycles, scooters, flying carpets, public transportation, or private jets. Bike racks are not guaranteed at any of the stops, so be sure you bring your own bike lock and think ahead about bike parking. Childcare: Want to race but not sure wholl watch your little ones? Check out our Parents Morning Out program! Well make sure your little ones are happy and having fun while youre on the race course. Prizes: Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded for the team with the best costumes along with the top three finishing teams. FAQ: * We will begin clearing the course at 12p if any teams have not finished by that time. * There will be no refunds granted after 3/22/13 for any reason. We race rain or shine, but we wont race in lightning or thunder. Significant weather delays may result in cancellation of the race. Partial refunds may be issued if we have to cancel the race due to weather. * Each individual participant must sign a waiver for this event. No one under the age of 12 will be allowed to register for this event. Anyone between the ages of 12 to 14 must be accompanied by a supervising adult registered on the same team. * Your team name, a valid email address, and a valid cell phone number must be indicated on the registration form for crucial pre-race information, race day weather updates, and race day emergency communication.

Leave a Legacy
In the spring of 2012, the Champaign Park District launched the largest renovation project yet for the Virginia Theatre since taking ownership of the historic facility in 2000. Major components of the current project include upgrades of the electrical and stage systems, restoration of the paint and plasterwork, and replacement of the seats. But due to the scope and cost of the project, a number of key upgrades to the theatre had to be excluded from this phase of renovation, and so the Champaign Parks Foundation is seeking funds to support the following unfunded priorities for the Virginia Theatre:
NEW DIGITAL PROJECTOR

The Virginia Theatre must soon purchase a digital cinema projection system or face an uncertain future as the film industry converts to the new format. With a new digital system in place, the Virginia will continue to be able to show the latest movies at the lowest prices, while adding to its programming specially televised simulcasts and allowing renters of the facility use of this cutting edge technology for business presentations and meetings. Current industry estimates are that most new movies will be released solely in digital format as early as 2014, with 35mm prints difficult or impossible to obtain from that point forward. Film presentation has been central to the programming of the Virginia Theatre since it opened on December 28, 1921. So much of what the Virginia does will be affected should the theatre not be able to make the leap to digital. The Virginia has to supplement its current 35mm film projectors with a new digital projector so it can: show new film titles year-round program special event films no longer available in 35mm continue to grow and expand the reach of its popular Reel Deals discount movie series offering inexpensive second-run films at the low admission price of $3 increase the scope of the successful News-Gazette Film Series of classic (both archival and contemporary) films better serve the Roger Ebert Film Festival, now entering its 15th year as the signature event for the Virginia Theatre (11 out of the 12 pictures featured at the 2012 Ebertfest were on digital media) avoid the expense of renting costly, digital equipment offer live simulcasts of television shows, performing arts, sporting events and special events

NEW CONCERT AUDIO SYSTEM

The Virginia Theatre must also upgrade to a professional live audio system capable of handling the ever-increasing technical needs of todays concert performers. With a new line-array of speakers suspended from her ceiling (as well as all the amplifiers, processors, motors, cables and under-balcony fill speakers that support such a system), the Virginia will more efficiently be able to host major concert events like Bill Cosby, John Prine, BB King, Tommy Emmanuel, The Capitol Steps, Alison Krauss and Union Station, and so many more.
Champaign Parks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit providing philanthropic support for the Champaign Park District.
Once completeand with your helpthe Virginia Theatre will again stand proud in the heart of downtown Champaign, returning to the glory of her earliest years as she presents the best contemporary family entertainment with the finest state-of-the-art equipment. Help the Virginia take her place as a cultural hub for our creative community. Make a difference and donate today!

This park features a 4 foot fence, double-gated entry area, separate areas for large and small dogs, parking lot, drinking fountains, and dog waste stations.
Bark District Membership
Dog Park membership carries with it responsibilities to all Dog Park users and the public at large. Not all dogs are good candidates for Dog Park play and interaction with a wide cross section of dogs. If your dog is shy about meeting new people, children, or dogs, it might not be a good candidate for the Dog Park. In addition, Dog Park users must be able to maintain control over their dogs even when off leash. All dogs at the Dog Park should be responsive to their owners calls. Purchase a one-year membership for your dog at the Bresnan Meeting Center, or Springer Cultural Center. Users found without proper membership tags will be asked to leave and may forfeit future park privileges. Bark District memberships are reciprocal with Urbana Park Districts dog park, so your membership is valid at both dog parks. Visitors may enter by paying a $5 admission fee at the park. The Champaign Park District staff monitors the dog park regularly to ensure that park users are properly registered and identified. Users found without proper registration will be asked to leave and may forfeit any future park privileges. Requirement for Membership Obtain the following information it is required to complete your membership registration. 1. County registration form (or other proof of rabies vaccination) Current vaccination record from the vet (proof of distemper vaccination) 2. Pay the membership fee. Resident and nonresident rates apply. See page 62 for information about resident and nonresident rates and the reciprocal agreement with Urbana Park District. Membership is for one calendar year (January 1 to December 31). Fees are not pro-rated.

Classwork will also include exercises to help with coordination, body and spatial awareness. Students may wear leotards with proper ballet shoes or comfortable clothing with bare feet. Hair should be pulled off the face into a ponytail.
Ages6-7 These syllabi develop the students physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression, and musicality using a range of sounds and musical styles. This strong foundation prepares students for a successful transition to more formal ballet classes. In both Pre-Primary and Primary, students, through participation and practice, should be able to respond to the elements of music and perform expressively, while demonstrating use of appropriate movement dynamics, coordination, elevation, and awareness of space. These classes begin in September only.

This class will incorporate fundamentals of formal dance training with marching, jumping, and skipping with stretched feet. Imagination will take flight as the students learn to dance a story.

Hair must be pulled off the face into a ballet bun.
Grades13(years35oftraining)

Musically inspired exercises and dances will motivate students, and will promote a joy in movement. Elements of Hungarian and Russian folk dances will be taught as well as fundamentals of modern dance movement. Character skirts and shoes are required.

Tree Programs
Champaign Park District plants our program trees during the spring and fall. Spring tree examples include: Red Maple, River Birch, all Oaks, Canada Red Cherry, Red Bud. Fall examples include: Norway Maple, Sugar Maple, Hackberry, Locust. Call for current prices.
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.

The Adopt-A-Park program was developed by the Champaign Park District in 1982 after a class at Robeson Elementary School inquired about adopting the park near their school. The purpose of the program is to encourage people in a park neighborhood to assume some responsibilities for their adopted park. This helps maintain and program the park above the level that the Champaign Park District is able to achieve on its own. Adopted parks build community support and often become the focal point of neighborhood activities. The park programs benefit both the Park District and the adopting group. If you are interested in adopting a park or would like more information, please call 398-2550 or visit us at www.champaignparkdistrict.com.

Changes in Listings
The policies, procedures, requirements, programs, fees, and facility availability contained in this brochure represent those at the time of publication. Sometimes changes are necessary after publication, but prior to program commencement or facility operation. In order to provide the best service to the public, the District reserves the right to add, change, modify, or delete any programs and policies. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Weather Cancellations
Equal Opportunity Programs
Programs may be cancelled due to inclement weather or unusable facilities. A decision regarding cancellation will be made two hours prior to the scheduled starting time for high school/adult programs and one hour prior to the start of youth programs. If deteriorating conditions force on-site cancellations, information will be put on the Leisure Line (398-2589) as soon as possible. A Champaign Park District representative will remain on-site until the next scheduled event to inform participants of the cancellation.
It is the policy of the Champaign Park District to provide that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age, marital status, physical and mental disability, sexual preference, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic as establish by law be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity of the District.

Frequently, the Park District takes video or photographs of people enjoying programs, special events, parks, or facilities. These photographs are for Park District promotions, marketing, and related award entries. They are used at the Park Districts discretion and become its sole property. If a registered participant wishes to be excluded from any photographs, they may do so in writing to the Champaign Park District Marketing Department, or by simply stepping away from the camera or notifying the photographer.

Registration
Ready, Set,
Registration Dates
Register in person at any Champaign Park District facility, by mail, or online at www.champaignparkdistrict.com. Champaign & Urbana Park District residents may begin registering immediately. Nonresident registration begins Monday, November 26, 2012.
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 information on possible deadline extensions.
Program Waiting Lists Dishonored Checks
Programs may fill. If this is the case, please ask to be placed on a waiting list.
Proof of Residency
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned by the bank for any reason.
If you have not already done so, we encourage residents to get a new photo i.d. card, since proof of residency must accompany all registration. Please present one of the following: Home address imprinted on check Drivers license Voter registration card Other legal proof of residency
Program Cancellations/ Refunds
Program Scholarships
Fees: Resident/ Non-Resident (R/NR)
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) business 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 writing is required, or guardians are responsible for payment for the following 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 a $5 service charge due to participant cancellation (per participant/ per occurrence) unless otherwise noted. Exceptions: If the District cancels a program due to minimum registration not being met, full refunds will be given. Prorated 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.
Because some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs 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. Applications are available at the Bresnan Meeting Center and can be mailed upon request. Need is the primary criterion upon which scholarship applicants are considered.
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.
Child Care Resource Service (CCRS)
Fees: Non-Resident Option

Program participants living outside the boundaries of the Champaign 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.
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. Questions: Child Care Resource Service, 333-3252 or 1-800-325-5516
The yearly fee is computed on the assessed valuation of the non-residents 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, nonresident renters may pay a flat fee of $50. The non-resident annual fee option is not available to persons residing adjacent to the Park District boundaries. They, however, have the option of annexing their property into the Champaign Park District.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Champaign Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. Champaign 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 registering for Park District programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.
WARNING OF RISK
Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible to guarantee absolute safety.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in the identified programs/activities, 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 said programs/activities (including transportation services/vehicle operation, when provided). I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs/activities, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. 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 participating in these program/activities against Champaign Park District, Champaign and Urbana Special Recreation, Urbana Park District, and the Village of Savoy, including their respective officials, officers, employees, and volunteers. 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 minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with these programs/activities.
