General Policies
Residency: Residency of the Geneva Park District is defined by financial
contributions through property taxes for the operation of the park
district. Boundaries of the Geneva Park District and the City of Geneva
are not exactly the same. If you are uncertain whether you qualify as a
Geneva Park District resident, please check your current property tax bill.
Proof of residency in the form of a current tax bill or utility bill may be
required during program registration. Geneva Park District residents are
given first priority for program registration.
Program Limitations: Each program at the Geneva Park District has an
established minimum and maximum number of possible registrants.
These numbers are set to guarantee the highest quality program
we can offer. The facility, student/teacher ratio and the nature of the
program are considered when setting program registration minimums
and maximums. Programs that do not meet the minimum number of
registrants may be cancelled. Please refer to the Program Cancellation
section for more information. Program instructors are not allowed to accept any
registrant beyond the established maximum without authorization by their immediate
recreation supervisor.
Payment / Pro-rating:
Participants will not be registered for programs
without payment. Program fees will not be pro-rated for late enrollment.
Important Class Cancellation Information: Program supervisors begin
reviewing class enrollment and canceling classes that do not meet
minimum enrollment approximately ONE WEEK prior to the class start
date. It is extremely important that you try to register for class choices
no later than one week before they begin. All participants registered in
cancelled programs will be notified by the Geneva Park District staff and
will receive a full refund.
Waiting List: Since all of our programs have registration limits we cannot
guarantee your choice of enrollment in them. The Geneva Park District
maintains waiting lists for programs that have reached their maximum
registration. Placement on a waiting list is encouraged. Individuals
placed on a waiting list will be contacted if any additional program space
becomes available.
Waiver Form: The Park District is unable to assume responsibility for
injuries or accidents occurring at programs, activities, parks, and facilities.
Such insurance would make program user fees prohibitive. The Insurance
Liability Waiver section of the registration form must be signed when
registering yourself or your minor child to participate in Geneva Park
District programs. Please note: participation will be denied if the signature of adult
participant or parent/guardian and date are not on this waiver.
Age Requirements: When age limitations exist, proof of age (such as a
birth certificate) may be required. Participants must be the minimum age
required for the program by the first day of the program unless otherwise
stated. To insure a quality program for program participants, children are
not allowed in adult programs and vice-versa. Siblings of children not
registered for a program are not allowed to attend without expressed
permission by the instructor. Adults may observe children’s programs at
the discretion of the instructor.
Scholarship Program: The
Park District offers a Scholarship Program
for those who qualify for financial assistance. Applicants who qualify
for financial assistance may receive partial or full program scholarships
for Geneva Park District programs. Those who apply will be required to
complete an application listing current finances. For details, please call
[phone].
