Important Registration Information

The Dundee Township Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Dundee Township Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the listed programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational programs/activities. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way, or has recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

Warning of Risk

Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instructions or officiating, and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the Dundee Township Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Refund Policy

If a program is canceled, a full refund will be given. Refunds will be considered for medical reasons if at least half of the program remains. Requests for refunds must be made prior to the program’s completion. Refunds are subject to a $5 service charge. Approved refunds will be prorated if the class has already started. Refunds are sent to those whose requests have been approved within 30 days of the request. NSF checks – a $10 service charge will be addressed on all NSF checks. No refunds for gift cards will be allowed. Gift cards may be used toward any Park District membership or programming.

To receive a refund: You must attend at least two class sessions. If you are not satisfied with the quality of the instruction, please fill out a Refund/Transfer Request. This form must be filled out prior to the third class meeting. Your input on this form will help us focus on where improvement is needed. The Refund/Transfer Request is available at the Rakow Center and the Randall Oaks Recreation Center front desk or can be downloaded here. You can mail, fax, drop off or email this form to a Guest Services Manager at guestservices@dtpd.org. Upon receiving your completed form by the third class, we will process your class refund, which will take approximately two weeks.

Who is a Dundee Township Park District Resident?

The Dundee Township Park District serves the communities of Carpentersville, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow and portions of Elgin, Barrington Hills, Hoffman Estates, Gilberts, and Algonquin. To accurately determine if you are a resident of the Dundee Township Park District check your real estate tax bill or view the map. If you pay taxes to Dundee Township, then you are a resident. In order to receive resident rates, you must be able to produce a valid driver’s license and a current property tax bill or utility bill verifying residency at that location.

Nonresident Fee Option

Nonresidents of the Dundee Township Park District may pay an annual fee to acquire the program registration benefits that in-district residents receive. Currently, nonresidents pay a registration program fee 50% higher for most programs, must register after all resident lottery registration is processed and are not eligible for various program categories. The nonresident annual fee is determined by multiplying the district’s tax rate by the assessed value of the nonresident’s home. Nonresident renters would pay an annual flat fee based on the average assessment of Dundee Township property. If you wish to register your immediate family at resident rates, during the resident registration period, bring in your most recent tax bill and we will determine what the annual fee will be. The option does not apply to annual golf passes or daily golf rates. For more information, call (847) 428-7131 x1100.

Resident Senior Discount

Residents 62 years and older will receive 15% off selected programs.

Policies

Behavior and Discipline Guidelines

A caring, positive approach will be taken regarding discipline. Each participant is expected to:

1. Treat all participants/patrons and staff with respect.
2. Respect all equipment.
3. Follow all rules so he/she will not place him/herself or others in a dangerous situation.

The purpose of discipline is to help a participant/patron develop self-control and learn to assume responsibility for his or her own actions. The District will use positive statements and reinforcements to redirect negative behaviors. Should a participant/patron need more than that, a “time-out” period or a suspension may be initiated.

The District will handle disruptive behavior in the following manner:

1. The participant/patron or the parent/guardian will be informed of the specific disruptive behavior, what corrective action on their part must be taken and what the potential consequences will be. An incident report will be completed and filed.
2. If the behavior continues, the staff will inform the participant/patron or parent a second time. An incident report will be completed and consequences will be initiated.
3. If there is no change in behavior, the participant/patron will be dismissed from the class/program or facility; a refund will be issued for the remaining class days or membership.

Disruptive behavior is defined as any behavior that causes, or could lead to, personal injury of participant or others. Examples: hitting, kicking, throwing things, defying, running away, rude or obscene language, threats, or any behavior that disrupts the facility or program. Disruptive behavior, in the broad sense, is any behavior that takes an instructor away from the rest of the class for long periods of time, disturbs the normal operation of a facility or threatens staff/patrons.
