General Park Policies
Park Closing Policy: All Park District parks will close at 10:30 p.m. This does not include the parks of Riverside, Carpenter or Gurgens Park that open at dawn and close at
dusk. This also has no effect on the bike/pedestrian trails (Interurban, Wabash, Lost Bridge and Bunn to Lost Bridge) owned and or maintained by the Park District.
Park District Waiver: A Waiver and Release of All Claims form must be signed when registering yourself or your minor child for
Springfield Park District programs and/or memberships. Registration waivers are available at all Park District facilities or online
at www.springfieldparks.org.
Photo Disclaimer: Registrants and participants of programs and special events permit the Springfield Park District to take photos and
videos of themselves and their children for publication in the program catalog, website and additional uses as the Springfield Park District
deems necessary.
Residency Policy: The Springfield Park District is committed to serving the residents of the Springfield Park District. A resident is defined
as anyone living within the boundaries of the Springfield Park District. Residents support the Springfield Park District facilities and programs
through property taxes and therefore receive preferred rates for many of the services provided by the Springfield Park District. To determine
if you are Springfield Park District resident feel free to contact the following:
Bunn Administrative offices: (217) 544-1751
Sangamon County Assessors office: (217) 753-6805
Smoking Policy: All Park District indoor facilities, including spectator/viewing areas are designated as non-smoking
areas. Thank you for your cooperation.
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. Understandably,
not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that
certain risks, dangers, and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness,
horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision,
instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In
this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Springfield Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
Facilities Policy: All facilities participants are expected to follow the rules of the facilities. Specialty areas of the facilities
have posted signs stating special rules specific to that area. Disregard or abuse of facility rules may result in removal by
staff or police from the facility for a designated length of time or permanently.
Inclusion Policy: The Springfield Park District welcomes participants with all abilities. To learn more about how we can assist your
participation, if you have a disability, call Annette Reese at 585-2941.
Vandalism Alert: The Springfield Park District has experienced vandalism within several of its parks and buildings. We need your eyes
and your help to stop these criminal acts. If you witness the act of vandalism please call the police immediately and report it by calling
911. If you notice graffiti and property damage in the parks or district buildings please call the Springfield Park District Police at 698-6030.
You may also make a report on the comment area on the website at springfieldparks.org. Any assistance from our residents would be
greatly appreciated in reporting and putting an end to these crimes. The Springfield Park District will prosecute these senseless acts to
the full extent of the law.
Concealed Carry: Firearms are not allowed in Park District facilities or on Park District properties.
