Registration Information

How to Register

You may register in person at any Norridge Park District facility or online.

Two proofs of residency will be required for all registration.

The following items are acceptable forms of identification:

- Valid drivers license (traffic tickets are not acceptable), state identification card and/or valid passport with picture.

Any of the following forms of identification can be used as secondary proof of residency as long as it is current and in the registrant’s name:

- Any utility bill, apartment/home lease, tax bill and/or voter’s registration card.

All registration is on a first come, first served basis.
Full payment for programs must be made at the time of registration.
A birth certificate/proof of birth will be requested for all children to prove age and parentage.
By registering for a program or event, you give your consent to release and hold harmless the Park District from any liability. Your receipt includes the waiver to which you agree.
Fees will not be prorated when registering for a program if the program session has already started.
You can, and are encouraged to, register for both Session I and Session II programs during the Session I registration period. Waiting until Session II may result in closed programs. Should this happen, you will be placed on a waiting list, and IF POSSIBLE, another class will be opened.

Payment Methods

The Park District will accept cash, personal checks, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) and money orders for the payment of fees. Debit cards cannot be accepted. The Park District will charge a $25 service fee for all checks not honored for any reason by the bank. Checks should be made payable to: Norridge Park District.

Residency Pass

Nonresidents may pay a $180 annual fee that entitles your family to a Resident fee rate for all Park and Pool programs beginning within a full year from the date of purchase. Please note that programs are limited to a single season (i.e., 1 pool pass, 1 season of fall soccer, 1 season of swim team, etc.). Early Care and Preschool Academy programs, and any programs in which Norridge Park District participates or offers under an intergovernmental agreement, are excluded.

Refunds

Programs that do not meet the minimum enrollment will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued.

NO CASH REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. All refund checks will be mailed within 3 to 5 weeks from the time of request. Credit cards will be issued a credit for the proper account.

Before a Program Begins...

A full refund less a $2 service charge will be given if a participant withdraws from a class at least 48 business hours prior to the first scheduled day. Participant must complete a Refund Request Form at that time.

After a Program Begins...

A refund will be given during the first half of the scheduled session ONLY for an illness. Doctor’s note must be presented at time of request and a Refund Request Form must be completed. Refund will be prorated and a $2 service charge will be applied. NOT APPLICABLE TO EARLY CARE & PRESCHOOL ACADEMY PROGRAMS.

Refunds will not be given for any reason during the second half of a scheduled session.

Trips

Refunds will be given ONLY if 48 business hours notice is given to the Park District and the vacancy can be filled by our waiting list.

Waiting Lists

Once maximum enrollment is met for a class, a waiting list will be formed with names and phone numbers of those wishing to enroll. Every attempt will be made to open an additional class when possible. Residents have priority on all waiting lists.

Fair Share Policy

The Norridge Park District resident makes a significant contribution to the financing and operations of the Park via property taxes, whether or not the individual participates or uses the facilities of the Park. The fair share concept is intended to apportion to non-residents an equalized fee, so that they contribute to the overall financing of the Park District on an equitable basis with the resident. It is hoped that this policy will give not only equitable treatment, but also a better understanding of fees and overall financing to both residents and non-residents.

Insurance

The Norridge Park District is committed to conducting its recreational programs and services in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreational programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in activities.

Please recognize that the Norridge 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 recreational program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage.

The Norridge Park District requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Photo Disclaimer

Registrants and participants of programs and special events permit the Norridge Park District to take photos of themselves and their children for promotional purposes unless the registrant or participant expressly files with the Park District a written objection.
