Welcome
Wheeling Park District Mission Statement
To provide memorable experiences in
Park Board of Commissioners
parks & recreation that enrich our communities.
President’s Letter
Dear Residents:
Ahhhh…. The smell of spring is in the air. As we awaken from the slumber of winter, it’s time to take to the outdoors and
enjoy all the great parks and recreation opportunities the Wheeling Park District has to offer. Have you had your memorable
experience today? Tom Webber
President
While it may seem that winter was a “slow” time for the Park District, nothing could be further from the truth. Earlier this
year, the Wheeling Park District entered into an agreement with PROS Consulting LLC to develop a Park and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan. This Plan will act as a guide for the Board and Staff to make decisions that best serve the long-term park
and recreation needs of the community.
As you may recall, in August of 2005, Leisure Vision conducted a Community Attitude and Interest Survey to help establish
priorities for the future development of park and recreation facilities, programs, and services within the community. This
document was the first step in developing a Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. PROS Consulting is charged with
considering the results of the Community Attitude and Interest Survey, the Needs Assessment, the Park District Vision, and the Keith Pecka
available financial resources in meeting the goals of the Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. Vice President
The goals of this Comprehensive Plan are to:
• Assist the Park District in determining and prioritizing where to invest its resources with regard to recreation services,
current facilities, and park improvements.
• Assist the Park District in determining best land use and land management practices.
• Assist the Park District in determining what recreation programs and services should be offered and evaluating those that
should be discontinued.
• Evaluate the Park District’s current open space, indoor recreation space and recreation services – compared to community Cheri Klumpp
needs and current standards and trends.
• Provide guidelines for future planning and updates to the Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan.
In the coming months, PROS Consulting will be finishing their work and will be providing the Board and staff with the results
of their analysis. The Park District will be releasing the results of this process and providing details of the impact this plan has
on the future. The summer edition of In the Know, due to be released in May, will provide much of this information.
So enjoy the warm spring and summer months that lie ahead. Soon the parks will be filled with sounds of children and the
pools will be the destination for people looking for a fun way to beat the heat. As always, there is a memorable experience
waiting to be had at the Wheeling Park District. Jon Kolssak
I look forward to seeing you in the parks.
Yours in Park and Recreation,
Tom Webber
President, Board of Commissioners

The mission of Kimrossi Taylor’s co-ed Basketball Camp is to give children the opportunity to
develop basic basketball skills at an early age, increase self-confidence through skill acquisition, and
most of all, to keep their minds focused on hoop dreams and not street dreams. Kimrossi’s personal
goal is to utilize the skills and knowledge that he has attained and developed from his past basketball
experience to develop and motivate intelligent and well-rounded young athletes. Kimrossi played
basketball for Lakeview High School and at North Central College in Naperville, IL, and is currently
the head assistant mens basketball coach at Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL. He is
also a coach with the Chicago Bulls Training Academy and a former coach of the Jr. NBA. What
should I bring to the camp? Gym shoes, gym shorts, and a lot of energy. KP

Summer is going to be here before you know it, and once again the
Park District has the cure for “summer fever” with Discovery Day Camp’s
themed weeks and exciting field trips. We pride ourselves on being one of the
area’s best summer camps by providing a unique combination of excellent
staff, fun sports, challenging projects, trips to the pool and beautiful
air-conditioned facilities. Send your child back to the days of Kick the Can
and sandlot games like softball, soccer and Capture the Flag.
Come and discover our great curriculum, which uses child-led play to
challenge your child and develop important skills. Our campers develop
their mental and physical abilities by thinking through conflicts and
making decisions for themselves. We believe children need to develop
their own set of values that will shape their relationships with others and
increase their self-confidence. These include child-led sport tournaments
and special event days such as our camp talent show, where campers pick
their own skits to perform.
In order to fully appreciate the Discovery Camp experience, children
will need to bring their lunch, drinks and a few snacks, especially those
registered for Before and After Camp. We also recommend bringing Discovery Day Camp Meet & Greet Night

Restoring Nature’s Balance:
When the McHenry County Conservation District acquires parcels of land, several surveys are
conducted to determine what natural communities exist on that parcel. During these surveys,
restoration ecologists identify the different varieties of plants and animals that live in each
community. The results are then compared with land survey notes taken of McHenry County in
the 1800s. Using the surveys as a guide, a land management plan is then developed to restore
the area, as much as possible, to its pre-settlement condition. In most cases, this plan involves
the removal and control of invasive plant species and the repopulation of native plant species.
Identifying Types of Plant Species
Native species are plants that, under normal conditions, Invasive, non-native species are plants that are aggressive

species is the only one left.
Controlling the Spread of Invasive, Non-Native Species
There are several ways to control the growth and spread of invasive, non-native species. Determining the best method or
combination of methods depends on the traits of the species, the area the species covers, and the sensitivity of the habitat type.
At MCCD, each of these methods requires training and are performed by certified staff or trained volunteers.
Prescription Burn: setting a controlled fire reduces the amount of invasive vegetation,
allowing native plants a chance to compete for sunlight and nutrients in the soil
Mechanical: physical removal (pulling from ground) or mowing
(usually used in winter when native vegetation is dormant)
Chemical: use of herbicides to kill or suppress invasive species
Prescription burns give native plants the

How Can You Make a Difference?
At Home:
• Learn to identify invasive species in your area (see chart above). Remove them from your property by weeding or mowing.
• Consider planting only native plants on your land instead of horticultural varieties. You’ll enjoy the easy maintenance
and the beauty of native plants, plus you’ll be providing a habitat for insects and animals! For a list of native plants and
nurseries that sell native plants, contact Laurie Boldt, plant ecologist, at lboldt@mccdistrict.org or (815) 653-2297 x 21.
• When planning your garden or landscaping, remember to diversify! A diverse mixture of native plants creates a stronger
environment that is more resistant to the establishment and spread of invasive species.
At District Conservation Areas:
• Before you leave a site, brush the seeds off your shoes and clothing. This will prevent seed transfer from one site to
another, and slow the spread of invasive plants.
• Volunteer for a site steward workday! You’ll receive valuable training on site restoration, including removal of invasive
species, seed collection, and reseeding native species. Plus, you’ll be making a difference in your community that
everyone can enjoy! For a list of upcoming workdays, see page 8.
