WHAT IS RANDOM DRAW?
Registrations are processed at random, not on a
first-come, first-served basis, so all registrants
have an equal opportunity to be registered for
their class choices. Participants are put in their
first or second program choice depending on
availability. No one will be put on any waitlist
unless the class is filled. All registrations must
be turned in by 11a.m. on the day registration
starts to be included in the random draw.
On-line registrations are not included in the
random draw. They are processed at the time
you enter your registration.
Don’t Delay...
Register Today!
Please register as soon
as possible to avoid
being left out because
a class is full.
Registration Begins December 10
Confirmation of Registration
Written confirmation for classes will be sent for all registrations received.
If you have not received a confirmation, please call 630-968-6400 to check
the status of your registration. Random Draw confirmation is mailed or
e-mailed within 10 days of processing registration. The Darien Park
District is not responsible for undelivered confirmations.

Returned Checks
Any check returned by the bank to the Darien Park District for any reason
will incur a $25 fee. Additional program registration will not be accepted
until all outstanding balances have been cleared.
Refunds
If insufficient enrollment causes an activity to be cancelled, participants
will receive a full refund in the mail. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the
processing of the refund.
The Darien Park District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
sex, age, national origin, religion or disability in employment, treatment
of visitors and users, use of parks and facilities, or admission to and
participation in programs and activities of the District in compliance
with the Illinois Human Rights Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, the Americans
With Disabilities Act and the State of Illinois and U.S. Constitution.
Refunds will not be issued after the first class meeting unless the participant
has a medical condition that prohibits participation in the program. A doctor’s note will be required. The refund will be pro-rated based on the number
of classes attended. A $5 service charge will be assessed to all refunds.
We invite any resident with a special need to contact our staff upon
registration so that a smooth inclusion may occur.
• All Other Refunds (unless otherwise noted)
Min/Max - What is it?
For each program at the Darien Park District, there is a minimum number
of registrations needed before a class can be offered and also a maximum
number of registrations that can be accepted. Meeting the minimum and not
exceeding the maximum helps to ensure that you and your family will enjoy
a cost-effective, positive recreation opportunity that includes an appropriate
instructor/student ratio.
Registration Deadlines
There is a point when the decision must be made to stop taking registration
for a class because it is filled, or to cancel a class due to low enrollment.
We reserve the right to change program content and/or schedules as needed.
Please don’t wait until the day a class begins to register. Unless otherwise
noted, the registration deadline for all programs is one week prior to the start
of the first class session. Registrations are still accepted after this deadline,
however, the class may be cancelled due to low enrollment. Please register
early to avoid being disappointed.
Program Changes
Due to the large amount of information available in the Darien Park District
brochure, errors before or after publication may occur. Errors in code
numbers, days, times or fees may occur. We apologize for any errors in this
brochure, and we will advise you of any changes as quickly as possible. We
thank you for your understanding when these types of situations arise.
Residents/Non-Residents
Even though you are a resident of the City of Darien, you may not be
considered a resident when registering for Darien Park District programs.
Why? It is because the Darien Park District is a separate, tax supported
agency apart from the City of Darien. This means that even though you
may have a Darien address, you do not pay taxes to the Darien Park District.
The Park District tries to maintain the same boundaries as the City, however
it is not always possible. The quickest way to determine your Park District
resident status is to check your tax bill. The park district you pay taxes to
will be listed.
• Trips
Refunds for trips will be issued only if the seat can be resold or if the
Park District cancels the trip.
Refunds will be issued if a request is received prior to the start of a
program minus a $5 service charge.
Accident Insurance
The Darien Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for the
participants of its programs. The cost of doing so would be so high that fees
charged for programs would become prohibitive. We suggest that you review
your family’s personal health insurance plan to be sure that it provides you
with sufficient coverage. At the time of registration, please read the waiver
and release of liability form included on the registration form. It must be
signed by an adult, or a parent/legal guardian for all children under 18.
At your first program session you may be presented with an additional sheet
describing some of the risks involved in the particular activity you have
signed up for. If so, that additional form will become a part of your Waiver,
Release and Hold Harmless Agreement.
We also suggest that you check with your family physician before participating in any Park District programs that require physical exertion. If your
physician should discover some factor that could limit you physically,
please consider them when registering for programs.
We want the registrants in our programs to be aware in advance that when
they participate in certain activities, there is a natural element of risk of
injury which each participant must assume. The park district is covered
by liability insurance and will strictly enforce all rules.
Photography
Photos and videos are periodically taken by our staff of people participating
in Park District programs and activities. All persons registering for Park
District programs/activities, or using Park District property thereby agrees
that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used
by the Park District for promotional purposes including its electronic media,
videotapes, brochures, flyers and other publications without additional, prior
notice or permission and without compensation to the participant unless
the registrant or participant expressly files with the Park District a written
objection as to photos or videos of themselves and/or their children.

Participant Behavior Code of Conduct
The Darien Park District expects participants to exhibit appropriate behavior
at all times. Guidelines have been developed to help make our programs safe
and enjoyable for all participants. Participants shall:
1. Show respect to all other participants, staff and volunteers.
2. Follow direction from staff and volunteers.
3. Refrain from using inappropriate, abusive or foul language.
4. Refrain from causing disruptive behavior.
5. Refrain from displaying any aggressive behavior (hitting, punching,
kicking, slapping, biting, etc.) whether the behavior is initiated or
in retaliation.
6. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities.
Failure to follow these rules may result in dismissal from the program.
Observers
Observers of programs are also expected to behave appropriately. Parents,
friends, and any other observers are held to the same standards of behavior
as participants. If inappropriate behavior of a program observer is reported
or observed by a staff person, the observer will be asked to leave by staff
or police if necessary.
Gift Cards
Gift certificates are available in any denomination. and may be used for all
Park District programs or for Fitness Center Memberships.
Tree Memorial
The Darien Park District offers a Tree Memorial program. Trees can be
purchased as a gift for a friend, family member, or in memory of a loved
one. A tree can also be purchased for a newborn to represent their birth
year and to watch it grow with your child. Many varieties of trees can be
purchased at a park and location you choose with the assistance of our
professional staff. Trees can be purchased anytime throughout the year,
however, planting will only take place in the spring and the fall. For more
information or to request an order form, please call 630-968-6400 x122.
Animal Etiquette
Animals being walked in the parks must be on a leash. The owner of every
animal shall be responsible for the removal of and sanitary disposition of
any excreta deposited by his or her animal in any park. When accompanying
the animal, the owner shall have on his/her person suitable means for the
removal of such excreta which will then be placed in a refuse container for
sanitary removal.
Help Protect Your Community!
In an effort to reduce and eliminate senseless damage caused by vandalism
or arson, the Darien Park District encourages you to report any information
you have about individuals causing damage to Park District property. If the
information you provide leads to the arrest of the perpetrator or conspirator,
you may be eligible for a reward. All communication between the tipster
and the Park District is strictly confidential. The Darien Park District will
not release or disclose any information furnished by the tipster without
the tipster’s explicit consent and approval. To provide a tip or get more
information contact 630-968-6400 x122. Please remember that our parks
are used and enjoyed by all residents. Be courteous and respectful of others.
It is illegal to dump yard waste or household garbage within park boundaries.

As a separate Municipal Governing Agency, the Darien Park
District’s purpose is to provide parks, facilities and recreation
programs for the children and adults of the community. The Park
District’s policies for operation are governed by five elected
Commissioners. Board Meetings are held the second Monday of
each month at 7:00pm at Darien City Hall, 1702 Plainfield Rd.

Mission Statement
The purpose of the Darien Park District is to provide the highest
quality recreation programs, facilities, and parks, that meet the
needs and enrich the lives of all Darien Park District residents.
Parking
At times you may find it difficult to find a parking space at our Community
Center. This occurs most frequently when there is a crossover between
classes starting & ending and also during special events. We would like
to remind you that additional parking is available at Westwood Park at
the corner of 75th & Fairview just to the south of our Community Center.
We would strongly discourage you from parking across the street in the
apartment’s parking lot, as you may risk receiving a parking citation.
Also, citations have been issued for parking in the fire lane next to the
community center. Thank you for your cooperation.
Snow Removal
When resources are available, the District will make every reasonable
attempt to clear snow from park pathways. Park pathways are closed
when snow is present.

challenging them to think logically and scientifically. Natural curiosity leads
the way to the ultimate in the inquiry based learning as children ask, “How
did they do that?” Scientific concepts ranging from optics to optical illusions

Indoor Movie at Darien Sportsplex
Tuesday, 12/23, 7pm
Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa’s
sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult human who
happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New
York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. Hobbs, on Santa’s
naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea that Buddy was
even born. Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New
York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When Walter’s
relationship with Buddy interferes with his job, he is forced to
reevaluate his priorities. Length of movie: 1 hr. 37 minutes.

Scooter Pond Hockey
Ages: 14 years old & Younger
Scooter Pond Hockey Teams are beginning hockey teams created from the

skills at the team play level. Learning how to interact with other teammates
and developing personalities is part of the learning curve of Scooter Pond
Hockey. The basic rules of hockey are not yet taught at this level.

Lasting Recognition
By sponsoring a tree, you are giving back to your community and providing a lasting
memorial to your loved one, or to commemorate a special event. Your tree will be a
living remembrance that will enhance the community for many years to come.
Making A Difference
A tree’s green foliage provides cool shade during the summer months and a warm
display of brilliant colors in the fall.
Once you decide upon a park location, our staff will assist you to select the species
of tree best suited to that location. A mulched tree ring will be placed around the
base of the tree to further ensure the tree’s welfare and aesthetic appearance.
A memorial leaf will be installed on the wall of the Community Center on the Tree of
Memories. The leaf will have the person’s name that the tree was dedicated to, the type
of tree, the location of the tree, and the year it was planted. If you would like a plaque
for the base of the tree there will be an additional cost of $30.00.
Trees will be planted either in the Spring or Fall, depending upon the type of tree
chosen. The application deadline is April 1st for Spring and September 1st for Fall.
Tree Selection
The participants in Trees For Memories may select the species of tree desired and choose any park within the boundaries of the
Darien Park District as possible sites for trees. Each tree will be cared for in accordance with our maintenance program. The
Darien Park District reserves the right to move or replace the tree.
For more information on how to participate in the Trees For Memories program, please call our Superintendent Office
at 630-968-6400 ext.122
