This is a recreational room for children of all ages. We have several video games, ping pong, pool, bumper pool, pinball games, gockey, foosball, basketball, and air hockey. The days Rosemont School and East Leyden have no classes we will also open 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

Outside Basketball Courts
The outdoor basketball courts are available to be used for basketball or ten-ball. The courts are lighted and can be used for games or just shooting. Sometimes the Park may reserve the courts for day camp, classes or a kids 3-on-3 league. This area is not directly supervised; problems should be reported to the front desk. You cannot reserve the courts ahead of time.

Splash Pad Area

Season Passes:
Season passes for the splash pad are available only to residents. All non-residents must pay the daily fee. A water pass entitles you to the use of both the splash pad and the indoor swimming pool. A pool pass is only for the use of the indoor swimming pool. A Grandparent’s water pass is available to resident grandparents whose grandchildren do not live in Rosemont. This pass allows a grandparent to bring their grandchildren to use either the splash pad or the indoor swimming pool. If you lose your pass, the cost to replace that pass is $2.00 per pass. Family is defined as related persons living at the same address.

Resident Family Water Pass | $55.00 (cost is only for the pool – Splash Pad is free)

The splash pad area will not open unless the temperature is at least 70 degrees. Further, if the ThorGuard lightning detection system is activated, there is visible lightning or it begins to rain, the splash pad area will be closed. We will wait 20 minutes, if these conditions remain unchanged, we will close for the session. In the event the splash pad is closed, we will offer no refunds.

Inside the splash pad area no one shall have any food, drink, alcohol or gum. Pets are also not permitted. No loud radios, no strollers by the water and infants must wear swim diapers, not regular diapers. The only footwear allowed by the water is water shoes. Anyone wishing to bring a group of 10 or more to the splash pad must call ahead; if you do not call, you may be refused entry.

If you are a resident bringing a non-resident who is your guest, a grandparent using a grandparent’s pass, or an adult with a child under the age of 8 years old, you must stay in the splash pad area with your non-resident guest or the child you have brought. You may not bring them and leave; when you leave they must also leave.

Swimming Lessons

The Learn to Swim program offered by the Des Plaines Park District follows the American Red Cross guidelines and is designed to teach all levels of swimming skills. Lessons are held at the Rosemont pool from September through May. Please register your swimmer for the level most appropriate for his/her current ability. Swimmers will not be transferred to another level! Registration for all Learn to Swim programs end one week prior to the start date. The next session held in Rosemont, starts in September 2011 and registration begins Monday, August 15 at the Des Plaines Park District Leisure Center, 2222 Birch Street (north of Touhy by Iroquois School). Rosemont residents may register as residents and pay the lower resident rates. Please register for swim lessons separately from any other programs. If your class is filled, please complete the registration. Your name will be placed on a wait list. After registering, call the Rosemont Park District and tell us of your situation. For summer lessons, the Des Plaines Park District uses their own outdoor pools at Iroquois and Chippewa.

Open Gym

You must be able to prove your age and residency, otherwise you may not be allowed in the gym or you will have to pay the non-resident fee. Children under the age of 6 may attend open gym during the grade school times; an adult must accompany them at all times. Check the schedule closely; you may not be allowed in the gym if your age is not scheduled. In the summer we do not offer non- resident high school time. Please do not arrive earlier than your scheduled time; you are not allowed to just “hang out” in the lobby. Times are subject to change.

The gym will be closed the following days: Monday, May 17 thru Sunday, June 13; Monday, August 2 thru Sunday, August 29. Starting Monday, June 14 we will follow the hours listed below. Starting Monday, August 30 we will return to the regular hours.

Seven-time DCI World Champion Rosemont Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps are offering rudimental and mallet percussion lessons for beginning, intermediate, and advanced junior high and high school percussionists interested in marching and concert percussion (no drum set lessons available). Weekly lessons will be given on Thursday evenings, between the times of 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Time will be divided into increments of approximately 30 minutes per lesson at Lange Park in Rosemont. Some time may be available for a double lesson (60 minutes). Students interested in marching percussion can take lessons on a marching snare or multi-tenor. Mallet percussion students will take their initial lessons on a marimba or vibraphone. The Cavaliers will provide the instrument, and the student can bring his own sticks/mallets or purchase them at their initial lesson. Cost per 30-minute lesson is $21.00.

Day Camp

Who
Rosemont resident children entering preschool through grade 8 in the fall of 2010. Day Camp preschool children must be entering Kindergarten in 2011 and be 4 years old by September 1, 2010. As much as we try, we do not always recognize everyone, especially if you are new to town. Please, when you come to register bring a gas, electric, or land phone (not a cell phone) bill to prove your residency. If there is a question of residency, you will not be able to register for camp. Only the parent or legal guardian can register a child for camp.

When
Regular Camp - June 13 through July 22  (No Camp on Monday, July 4)
Preschool - 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Kindergarten – 8th Grades - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Field Trip days may leave earlier and be longer days – check your schedule. There are some before and after camp activities available. Please do not arrive for Camp more than 15 minutes early!

Extended Camp -July 25 through August 5
Kindergarten – 6th Grades | 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Extended Camp
This is an option, or an extra, you may choose for 2 weeks after regular camp. This option is not available to preschool or grades 7 and 8. The hours are the same as the regular camp except that everyone stays for lunch. Lunch is included in the cost. During extended camp, we have no field trips; except for using the gym and swimming, all activities are at the park. The grades will be combined and a minimum number of campers per grade must be met. You must register for this extra during registration week. If the minimum number is not met, extended camp will be cancelled.

Register
May 11 through May 14
Tuesday – Friday10:00 am to 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Saturday11:00 am to 3:00 pm

Costs

*If your child cannot leave on his/her own at the end of the day, you must pick him/her up within 5 minutes after their day has ended, to avoid being charged the late fee. This fee must be paid before your child can return to Camp the following day.

Children not in supervised lunch must go home between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm. Supervised lunch is available to everyone except preschool. You bring your own sack lunch and drink. Again this year grades 5 thru 8 will be combined into one group. This combined group will have classes and activities during the week the same as the single grade groups. They will enjoy three field trips on alternating Wednesdays. Children in grades 7 and 8 have the option to register for either a regular full week or a ½ week registration. With the ½ week registration your child attends camp Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Tuesday afternoon, as he/she chooses. Monday morning is the all-camp trip, Wednesday is a field trip for weeks 2/4/6, the remaining weeks on Wednesday the kids can choose to come for regular activities. Tuesday mornings are off and the afternoons we offer ceramics or activities at the school. Fridays are off. We will charge a reduced registration fee, only if you are registering one child in grades 7 or 8 for the ½ week. Two children, regardless of grade, will pay the two-child fee.

The basic Day Camp registration fee is a fantastic deal – depending on your circumstance from 1 preschool child to 4 children registered, the hourly cost per child ranges from only $ .90 to $2.85! You cannot beat it!

***Day Camp costs will not be prorated by the number of days your child participates.***
