               Americans with Disabilities
               The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 (Public Law 101-336) was adopted by Congress for the purpose of eliminating
               discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The Act directed the Department of Justice to prepare and publish
               rules of implementation. The final rule was published on July 26, 1991 (28 C.F.R. Part 45) which sets standards for
               implementing the Act. The Act prohibits exclusion of qualified individuals with a disability from services, programs or
               activities of any state or local government which includes park districts, as of January 26, 1992. Individuals with concerns
               or questions should contact Village Hall at (847) 438-5500. The Village of Hawthorn Woods is a cooperative member
               agency of the Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County (SRACLC).
               Statement of Non-Discrimination
               The Village of Hawthorn Woods prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color,
               national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, military status, sexual orientation, marital or family status.

AQUATIC PROGRAMS   Di ve Cam p ( A g e s 6 - 1 8 )
                   Learn the art of diving with proper form and technique. Dives
                   will take place from the side of the pool and on a 1-meter
                   board. Each child can progress at their own rate, beginning
                   with essential techniques, and improving strength, flexibility,
                   and mechanics. Advanced students will work on each of the
                   five dive categories: forward, back, reverse, inward, and
                   twist. Participants must be able to swim 25 yards and tread

The Village of Hawthorn Woods proudly owns and maintains 24 parks and preserves totaling over 180 acres. Our
parks serve as gathering spaces, keep us in touch with nature, and are home to many sporting events. In 2023, we will
continue to invest in our park system, including these upcoming significant projects:
   • The refurbishment of the tennis practice wall at Bridlewoods Park.

                                                                                                                              PARKS
   • Buckthorn remediation will be conducted at Woodland Park, and new trees will be planted.
   • We will continue with Phase 2 of the development of Indian Creek Preserve. This includes continued buckthorn
      remediation, tree canopy expansion, implementation of a ½-mile walking trail and a ½-acre pollinator meadow,
      as well as the installation of a “Little Library.”
   • The basketball court at Heritage Oaks Park will be restored/resurfaced.
   • The baseball infields at Heritage Oaks Park and Community Park will be upgraded.
In addition, we are continuing to pursue grant opportunities, and if successful, we hope to complete additional projects
and enhancements in 2023.
