Things you should know...
DON’T KILL A GREAT PROGRAM! - Please do not wait until the last minute to register for a program. At some
point prior to the first class, we need to decide if the enrollment is sufficient to hold the class. Signing up on the first day of
class might be too late, so do not hesitate. Avoid the chance of losing your favorite class due to low enrollment
Register early!
Unless otherwise noted, all programs listed in this brochure will be held at the
Bradley A. Stephens Community Center, located at 2620 N. Mannheim Road, Franklin Park, 60131.

ask for ID and proof of residency when you register. It is our goal to give our residents the best service possible.

the use of any photographs in our publications, social media, slide presentations, etc. We appreciate your enjoyment of our

(847) 451 - 5144.
Senior Citizens
Leyden Township residents, who are
55 years old, or older, are welcome to
participate in certain senior programs
offered by the township at no charge.
Fee Information
All are welcome to participate in
Leyden Township activities. Persons
residing within Leyden Township
are, in most cases, charged a lesser
in-district fee. However, to ensure the
success of our programs, out -of- district
persons may participate at a slightly
higher out -of- district rate. Some
programs, trips, and tournaments are
offered at no additional out -of- district
fee.
Return Check Policy
There is a $25.00 fee on all returned
checks. This fee is in addition to the
original amount the check was made
for. This amount is required to be paid
in cash before the participant is allowed
to register for any further classes.
Refund Policy
The general policy of Leyden
Township is to issue refunds of
registration fees to anyone who is
unable to attend or is dissatisfied
with a regularly scheduled program.
The person must make a written
application stating the reason why a
refund is desired. Refunds will be
prorated, on a per class basis and
NO refunds will be made after the
second class is held. A $5.00
administrative
charge
may
be
assessed on all refunds. Refunds are
not given on certain other programs.
Some programs are subject to different
refund policies, based on contractual
agreements with other companies.
The refund policy for trips will be issued
ONLY if a replacement participant can
be found. Please note that most trips
have a deadline for reservations. We
rarely can accommodate additional
reservations so you are urged to
register early. A $5.00 administrative
charge
may
be
assessed.
Refunds can only be issued to the
person registered for the program.
Refunds in excess of $10.00 will be
issued within 45 days. Refunds of
$10.00 or less will be issued a credit
toward any other Leyden Township
Recreation
Department
program.
All
Leyden
Township
issued
memberships are non-refundable and
nontransferable to a secondary person.
Credit Policy
It is the general policy of Leyden
Township to issue a credit to anyone
who requests a credit in place of a
refund. The credit is good for one year
from date of issue. The date of issue
is the date that the person requests
the credit. If the recipient of the
credit does not use the credit within
one year, it will be forfeited. A credit
has no monetary value. Therefore,
once a credit has been issued it
can not be exchanged for a refund.
If a recipient of a credit uses the
credit to sign up for a program and
does not attend or call before the first
scheduled class, he or she will forfeit
their credit amount for that program.
