Ages

Please note the age and/or grade brackets for each program, and be sure the participant is in the proper group. The Park District reserves the right to remove anyone who does not meet the proper registration criteria from any program or activity.

Waivers

River Forest Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs, and assumes no responsibility for personal injuries or loss of personal belongings while using District facilities or parks. Therefore, each person registering himself/herself or children for a recreation program or activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. The Park District requires all persons registering to sign the program waiver on the registration form when you register.

Behavior

We reserve the right to terminate the participation of any individual in any Park District program, event, or facility for disruptive behavior or if it is considered by the Park District that the continued participation of the individual is not in the best interest of the participant or others who are involved.

Wait List vs. Wish List

Online Registration with Active

When registering online, if a class is full, join the WAIT LIST, not the wish list, to join the line of participants wanting to enroll in a program. Joining the WAIT LIST allows the Park District to view how many participants are on the list, allowing staff to determine if adding another section is feasible, etc. It also puts you in line in case an attendee cancels their program enrollment. The wish list is similar to creating a shopping list. The Park District cannot see your wish list. Questions? Give us a call at 708-366-6660.
