The Fee Assistance Program is available exclusively to Naperville Park District residents and awarded to applicants and dependent household members only. Eligible activities include most programs and Centennial Beach memberships. Fee assistance may not be used for facility rentals or applied to programs and facilities that require a daily fee for entrance. Individuals who qualify for fee assistance may choose to receive a discounted facility membership in lieu of registering for a program. All requests for fee assistance must be received a minimum of 3 weeks prior to the start of any requested program/ activity. Upon completion of the application, the Park District will notify the applicant within 2 weeks of their status. The Naperville Park District reserves the right to approve full funding or deny an applicant’s request. Fee Assistance Program applications are available at the ARRCC, Knoch Knolls Nature Center, Fort Hill Activity Center or online at napervilleparks.org/ feeassistanceprogram .

Nonresident and School District Resident (SDR) Households that are not residents of the Naperville Park District are required to pay higher fees than those charged to Park District residents. When a school facility is used, the resident and school district resident (SDR) fees are the same and will be noted with (••) two dots next to the fee. A school district resident (SDR) is a person that lives within the boundaries of School Districts 203 or 204 and pays taxes to either school district, but does not pay Naperville Park District taxes. This would include those who live in a bordering town or those who reside in unincorporated areas of Naperville. These individuals are eligible to pay the SDR rates for programs held at facilities of School Districts 203 and 204. For other programs held outside of the school districts, nonresidents will be charged the nonresident rate. Nonresidents who move into the Naperville Park District boundaries may receive a nonresident refund on a registration if they reside in Naperville prior to the first class date. The customer has two weeks after the class begins to provide the Park District with proof of residency; after two weeks, there will be no refund. If you live in unincorporated Naperville and you don’t pay taxes to the Naperville Park District, but you would like to participate in programs at the resident rate, call 630-848- 5000 to learn how. Waivers of Liability To participate in any Naperville Park District program, you must sign a waiver releasing the Park District of any liability. Behavior Code of Conduct All individuals participating or volunteering in a Park District program or activity, attending a class or event, or using District facilities or property are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times and adhere to the Naperville Park District Behavior Code of Conduct. A copy of the Behavior Code of Conduct can be found at napervilleparks.org . Failure to follow the Behavior Code of Conduct or program or facility rules may result in removal of the participant or guest from the program, event, park or facility.

Shrek the Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. mtishows.com

Presented by Magical Starlight Theatre

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film, this big-hearted Broadway hit turns the fairy-tale world upside-down with its hilarious twists, catchy songs, and unforgettable characters. Follow the unlikely hero Shrek, a grumpy but lovable ogre, as he embarks on a quest to rescue the spirited Princess Fiona. Along the way, he’s joined by a wise-cracking Donkey, a power-hungry Lord Farquaad, and a whole kingdom of fractured fairy-tale misfits. Together, they discover that true beauty isn’t about appearances—it’s about loving and accepting yourself and others just as they are. Packed with outrageous comedy, and toe-tapping tunes, this story is a side-splitting, heart-warming adventure for the whole family. Come for the laughs. Stay for the love. Whether you’re 8 or 80, you’ll leave the theatre grinning from ear to ear—maybe even with a little swamp mud on your heart.

WINTER SPORTS NAPERVILLE PARK DISTRICT FACILITIES

Ice Rinks The following ice rinks are lighted and open until 10:00 pm, weather permitting: Centennial Park • 500 W. Jackson Ave. Wolf's Crossing Community Park • 3252 Wolf's Crossing Rd. Nike Sports Complex • 288 W. Diehl Rd. The following ice rink is not lighted and closes one hour past sunset: Gartner Park Ice Rink • 524 W. Gartner Rd. Winter SPORTS NAPERVILLE PARK DISTRICT FACILITIES napervilleparks.org/ wintersportsfacilities

ICE RINK RULES AND REGULATIONS • Hockey and Broomball are allowed only on the boarded rinks at Centennial Park. No pucks or sticks are allowed on free- skating areas. • No alcoholic beverages are allowed. • Skate safely and in a controlled manner to avoid collisions with other skaters. • Refrain from offensive language and behavior. • No bottles or glass are allowed on rinks. • Children ages 8 and younger must be supervised by an adult. • Violation of posted rules may result in suspension from the ice rink and/or a fine.

ICE RINK REMINDERS • The ice rinks are natural rinks that are dependent on weather conditions for ice quality. • The rinks are designed for recreational skating only and are not maintained at professional or competitive skating standards. • Generally a minimum of 72 hours of constant temperatures of 15 degrees or below is necessary before the ice-making process can begin. Then, additional time is needed to ensure that the ice has sufficient time to freeze to create an adequate skating surface. • The ice skating season is entirely dependent upon consistently cold winter temperatures and conditions. These aspects affect the timing and availability of ice skating throughout the winter season. To find out if ice skating is available at any of our outdoor rinks, refer to: www.napervilleparks.org/ cancellations.

HOCKEY STICKS Hockey sticks are only permitted on the two Centennial Park hockey board rinks. Hockey sticks are not permitted on the free skating areas at Centennial Park, Wolf's Crossing Community Park, Gartner Park, or Nike Sports Complex. RED AND GREEN FLAGS Red and Green Flags Indicate Ice Rink Status. The District posts red flags or green flags at its ice skating rinks to indicate whether they are closed or open, providing a user-friendly and visible signal to people at park locations. The District also updates the status of ice rinks at napervilleparks. org/cancellations, allowing residents the ability to check on the status of rinks prior to leaving their home. Skaters should not use ice rinks when they are posted as closed on the website or when a red flag is flying at the rink. LIGHTED ICE RINKS Lighted ice rinks operate through use of a push-button located at each rink. Lights are provided for seasonal use of the ice rinks. Lighted ice rinks close at 10:00 pm.

Did you know that there are over 500 retention ponds in Naperville? Regardless of the time of year, it is never safe to go out on the water – even when it appears to be frozen! You never know how thick or strong the ice may be as these aspects are affected by varying temperatures, which create thin, weak spots that are dangerous and unpredictable. Parents, please talk to your kids about the dangers of ponds in winter and teach them how to stay safe. Help pets stay safe, too, by keeping them leashed around ponds.

Stay Safe this Season

Naperville Park District's Snow Clearing Scope The Park District recognizes that there’s a lot of recreation to be enjoyed during the winter months.

Our snow-clearing scope includes: • Sidewalks near schools where Park District programs are held in addition to some sidewalks within school zones to ensure that residents have a cleared path to/from their neighborhood’s school. • Sidewalks adjacent to Park District facilities that are open for use • In areas with Park District land on either side of a street, our staff will clear sidewalks on one of the sides • Trails/paths located in select parks across the community (clearing of trails occurs after the primary routes are completed) Naperville Park District's Snow-plowed Trails NORTH Nike Sports Complex.............................1/2 mile Country Lakes Park................................1/3 mile Riverwalk.................................................3.2 miles Wil-O-Way Commons.................................1 mile CENTRAL Knoch Park...................................................1 mile Wildflower Park......................................1.2 miles Meadow Glens Park..............................3/4 mile Winding Creek Park...............................1/3 mile SOUTH Frontier Sports Complex-Ashbury Park- Ashbury Greenway................................2.1 miles Commissioners Park.............................1.5 miles Wolf's Crossing Community Park......1.2 miles CENTRAL/SOUTH Burr Oak-DuPage River Park............6.5 miles For more information visit napervilleparks.org/ snowclearing

Avoid paths of other sledders before and after sledding. Pushing sledders or any other means of accelerating the rate of descent is not permitted. • Once you have finished your ride, move quickly out of the way of other sledders.
