Fall is the perfect time to get out and explore your Grayslake parks! As the weather begins to cool down, conditions are ideal for taking a walk in Central Park, checking out a different playground, or playing 9-holes at the Grayslake Golf Course.

Upcoming Events Fall is the season for family fun at the Grayslake Park District. Mark your calendar for these upcoming family-friendly classes and events: • Pumpkin Fest – Oct. 18 (rain date: Oct. 25) • Family Dodgeball – Nov. 11 • Family Bingo Night – Nov. 16 • Movie in the Gym – Nov. 18 • Polar Express Storytime Train – Dec. 2 • Winter Wonderland Walk with Santa – Dec. 16

A Big Thank You We would like to thank the many people, community members, businesses, sponsors, and vendors who helped make the Annual Taste of Grayslake Family Picnic & Fireworks such a success. Even though Mother Nature turned the heat up on us, the event still drew thousands of people from the Grayslake community to Central Park for an afternoon of family fun. A big thank you to our partners, the Village of Grayslake and Grayslake Chamber of Commerce, for their continued support of this community wide event – we couldn’t do it without them. A very special thanks goes out to the Grayslake Police Department and Grayslake Fire Protection District who worked all day to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance. Save the date: next year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, June 29, 2019!

Park Improvements Over the summer, the Park District was busy working to update park facilities in the community. The playground at Cambridge Park in the College Trail subdivision was replaced with new equipment, along with installation of new benches, additional drainage, and new wood fiber surfacing. If you haven’t seen the new playground at Cambridge Park, be sure to stop by and check it out.

At Sunrise Park, the pavement was replaced on the basketball courts, along with installation of new fencing and basketball hoops. Due to growing community interest in the game, pickleball courts were also incorporated at Sunrise Park. Pickleball is similar to tennis, but instead of racquets players use paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball over a slightly lower net. If you’re already a huge pickleball fan or if you’re new to the sport, swing by Sunrise Park to practice your skills.

Get Social With Us Follow us on Facebook and Instagram: @GrayslakeParkDistrict to be the first to know about upcoming programs, events, classes, and more. Use #GrayslakeParks to share pictures taken in the park, at the playground, during soccer games, or at any Grayslake Park District program.

We hope to see you around this fall!

Sincerely,

Kristin Splitt Executive Director

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Grayslake Community Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Grayslake Community Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.

Please recognize that the Grayslake Community Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Grayslake Community Park District automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.

Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the District requires the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS Please read this form carefully and be aware that in registering yourself or your minor child/ward for participation in Grayslake Community Park District programs, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you or your child/ward might sustain arising out of the above programs with the Grayslake Community Park District.

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in Grayslake Community Park District programs and I agree to assume the full risk of any such injuries, including death, damages or loss regardless of severity which I or my child/ward may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected or associated with such programs. When registering by fax, it is mutually understood that the facsimile registration document (including the waiver and release of all claims) shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as the original form.

I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my child/ward may have as a result of participating in the program against the Grayslake Community Park District and other agencies and its officers, agents and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge the Grayslake Community Park District and its officers, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims from injuries including death, damages, and losses sustained by me or my minor child/ward arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the programs. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Grayslake Community Park District and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims resulting from injuries including death, damages and losses sustained by me or by my child/ward arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of any of the programs.

In the event of any emergency, I authorize Grayslake Community Park District officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for me or my minor child/ward’s immediate care and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered. I also understand that unless specifically stated in writing at the time of registration, registrants and participants permit the taking of photos and videos of themselves and their children during Park District activities for publication in its catalogues, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, on its website, via social media, and use as the Park District deems necessary.
