Residency

In District rates apply only to those who live within the park district boundaries. Those living outside of the boundaries pay the out of district fees shown in the program descriptions.

Proof of residency is required. Adults must have a valid driver’s license or a valid state of Illinois ID card.


 

Proof of Residency

It is impossible to always know all of our residents. Therefore, do not be offended if we ask for an ID and proof of residency when you register. It is our goal to give our residents the best possible service.

Proof of residency items needed as follows:

  • A valid current state ID
  • Two (2) current utility bills with name and address

If proof of residency is not available at the time of registration, the participant must be prepared to pay out of district rates.

You Snooze… you lose!

Nothing kills a program quicker than waiting until the last minute to register for it! If there are not enough registrants five (5) days prior to the start of the program, it will be cancelled. Registering late will not guarantee a program will run.
